Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The central square in Krakow can be called the largest medieval square in Europe. It is also a very exciting place in Krakow. It is warm and vibrant. Many people come to Krakow to experience the authentic local customs of Poland. The brick red Church of the Virgin Mary on the square is the symbol of Krakow, and when the sun shines, it emits a charming warm red. The textile hall with a white Renaissance building in the middle has now been converted into a shopping mall and a museum. The dazzling amber accessories, dishes, Polish dolls, gloves and sweaters in the shopping mall are the reasons why tourists love to stop. As the hour approaches, people walking and drinking coffee in the square will stop and pay their respects to the church - when the hour arrives, the small window at the top of the church bell tower will open and a golden trumpet sticks out , playing a piece of tune loudly, and after the end, the player will wave to the people below, so there will be whistles and applause from people in the square. The tradition of playing the trumpet is to commemorate the invasion of nomads from the Mongolian plateau in the 8th century, when an enemy soldier shot an arrow through the throat of the player at that time, and the sound stopped abruptly. To commemorate this soldier, until now, the horn sounded on the hour was abruptly terminated at that moment.

Kraków is one of the oldest cities in Poland, dating back to the 7th century. Kraków was the capital of Poland until 1596 and is traditionally one of the main centers of Polish academic, economic, cultural and artistic life. The old city of Krakow is the historic center of Poland, and its central square is the most famous center of the old district in Poland today.
Very pretty and very large square in the middle of Krakow with a ton of restaurant, bars, and many other things. We went there during Easter and there was a lot of stands up for the holiday as well. It was a bit crowded though.
Although Poland seems remote and unfamiliar to us, after visiting Krakow Little Poland, I wanted to visit a deep Polish trip and see more cities. Krakow has a special place in Polish history, culture and spirit. Once the capital of Poland, it is a world heritage site with countless cultural relics and national symbols. Krakow is also a vibrant and open European city. The old town was surrounded by about three kilometers of walls in the Middle Ages, most of which were demolished in the 19th century, and filled with moats and turned into a green belt around the city, with Wawel Castle on the banks of the Viswa on the southern end. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from Krakow Station to the entrance of the old town, which is not far away, but it takes a short time. If you don't want to go, you can also take a streetcar to Wawel Castle. It is not bad to walk through the old town from the castle to the station. In addition, the old town by horse-drawn carriage is a romantic way to appreciate the city, especially after nightfall, the whole square, the Cathedral of Santa Maria and the textile hall are brightly lit. Walk to the entrance of the old town and you will see the red-brick Krakow City, built in 1498, which is a few remnants of the city walls of Krakow. Entering the old town, the colorful classical buildings are neatly arranged, and you can see the Temple of the Virgin Mary on the distant square. In the old town of Krakow, there are many Catholic churches, located next to the square of the Temple of the Virgin Mary, built in the 14th century, is a brick Gothic building, the asymmetric appearance is very distinctive. Every hour, the horn sounds from the top of the bell tower. The mournful trumpet tunes will break in midway to commemorate the horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blowing horn-blow Traffic strategy: Transportation: From Warsaw to Krakow, you can take the train for 2 and a half hours.
