3 days in Kraków

Good to know in Kraków

Royal and university collections

  • Wawel Castle has different exhibitions, entry limits and ticket choices. Choose the route you want before booking; visiting the hill does not automatically grant access to all interiors.Source: Wawel Royal Castle · checked Sep 2026

Religious sites and memorials

  • St. Mary’s Basilica separates tourist access from the main prayer entrance. Sunday sightseeing starts later than on ordinary weekdays; tower visits have separate rules and are not included here.Source: St. Mary’s Basilica · checked Sep 2026

Reserve the final museum

  • Use the Museum of Kraków’s own page for Schindler factory tickets and entry conditions. Personal online tickets require the visitor’s original ID. Leave the planned two hours for the exhibition rather than treating it as a quick film-location stop.Source: Museum of Kraków · checked Sep 2026
