Step by Step
Kraków's Underground Market (Rynek Underground) is one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Europe and a must-see if you want to understand the origins and evolution of the city. Located just below the famous Market Square, this museum offers a detailed look at centuries of history, preserved beneath the current level of the city.
The guided tour will take you through a set of excavated rooms and corridors where architectural remains, tools, everyday objects, ancient trade routes and medieval defensive systems have been preserved. Archaeological finds from the excavations provide an insight into how life in Kraków functioned hundreds of years ago.
Thanks to digital recreations, interactive maps and historical reconstructions, you will be able to visualise what the city was like in different eras. The guide will help you interpret each section, explaining the archaeological value of the site and the stories hidden beneath the surface of the country's most famous square.
This tour is ideal for those who want to delve deeper into the urban history of Krakow, discovering a side of the city that is not visible to the naked eye as you walk through the streets.
