In the beginning I was not that impressed with the multimedia devices, but as you walk by you realize what that is about. Those are the ruins of what was buried underneath the pavement of Market Square for years and years since Middle Ages. The exhibition tries to shed light onto how life was at that time. Shows also several... More

Not bad but not as good as I had anticipted. Some of our friend's loved it and highly recommended it. Might be a good indoor option if the weather is bad.

This was brilliant! Well curated and presented, as good if not better than any London museums, and so very interesting. What a find this must have been when it was originally discovered as it lays our Krakow's history in staggering detail. This has to be a must! You will be impressed.

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our visit here even-though we were looking forward to it. The touch screens had too many information, and the short videos were not in English!

This is really quite fascinating but perhaps not for the claustrophobic. This museum is under the main square in Krakow and deals with everything from vampires and their burials to sewerage systems, the war, food and trade. The underground building us simply stunning. Hint: If u have Krakow card (super value) u must book time slot at visitor info on... More

You can spend as long or as short here taking in the history of Krakow. Very easy for all ages to enjoy with interactive screens, exposed archeological features and recreations of old buildings. If you are interested in understanding a little about this city I would recommend a visit here early in your trip so you can understand more about... More

I understand why some people felt lost - it takes a little time to see how the whole interactive system works, but once you get it, you're fine. You can see some very interesting finds from the excavation in terms of artefacts, and also how people were living at the time as shown by the various remains. I liked the... More

We've been to Krakow many times but could never get tickets for this attraction so we were delighted to finally book tickets and get in. I couldn't follow the story, however the old ruins were interesting! Should be visited, but don't expect too much!
