Discover Krakow, the "Polish Rome"

Morning: wherever you stay in Krakow, it is to the central square of the old city that your steps will take you naturally. From the outset, you will be captivated by the majesty, immensity and beauty of one of the largest squares in the world. Unless you have a furious desire to walk along the adjacent streets, you can decide to spend the morning here, to visit the many monuments located on the square: the Cloth Hall, the Notre-Dame church and its exceptional wooden altarpiece, or the fascinating underground museum on the medieval history of the city. After emerging from the bowels of the earth, climb to the top of the belfry of City Hall, from where you will have a beautiful view of the rooftops of the city and from where you will hear, at the right time, the hejnal cheating in your direction.
Lunch: do you think it would be better to leave the Rynek to find a good table, not too touristic? Error! Error! Head south of the square. There is a jewel, the restaurant Szara Ges. The setting is superb, with its vaulted walls, elegant service and delicious menu. Any clichés you had about the heaviness of Polish cuisine will immediately melt away.
Afternoon: heading now to the alleys located north of the Rynek. Here you are in Barbacane, which was used as a fortress to protect the city. A few steps in the greenery of the Planty towards the Porte Saint-Florian, and here you are on the Royal Way, like the kings, bishops and lords of yesteryear. Go down the pedestrian shopping avenue Florianska, have a coffee at Jama Michalika. Not being a sovereign, you have the right to turn right towards the adorable Saint-Jean church, at the crossroads of sw street. Jana. A light rain? Good, it will be a good excuse to mark another gourmet break in Camelot. Cross the Rynek and head towards Jagiellonska Street. You then enter the grounds of an arcaded courtyard, which belongs to one of the most prestigious universities in the world. The museum is interesting. Return to the Royal Way, and Grodzka Street. Greet the statues of the twelve apostles of St. Peter and St. Paul's Church on the way, and immediately turn into Kanonicza Street, one of the most picturesque streets. In front of you stands the imposing Wawel Hill.
In the late afternoon, at 6pm sharp, drive towards the adorable Saint-Adalbert chapel on the Rynek. A classical music concert is given every day of the year by a group of passionate musicians. Only a few chairs, and a possible moment of grace.
Dinner: if your legs are still functional, walk to Tytano, and dine at Veganic's. Seasonal cuisine, original, fresh, in a pleasant setting.
Evening: Want a jazz concert? Go down to the basement of the Piano Rouge, on the Rynek. In the mood for a cocktail? Choose the Mercy Brown. And if you prefer to drink shots of vodka, head for Ambasada Sledzia.

Morning: a cultural morning awaits you on Wawel Hill. Visit the castle and then the cathedral (or the opposite). Lunch: on the Vistula, preferably on the terrace of the Barka Alrina barge. A walk or bike ride on the banks of one of Europe's longest rivers. Afternoon: direction Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter, via Dietla Street, the old branch of the river, dried up in the 20th century. Visit the Old Synagogue and its museum, the synagogue and the cemetery adjoining Remuh, walk with your nose in the wind in the charming alleys of Szeroka, Ciemna, Kupa, to Nowy Square. Have a coffee at Singer's. Stop by the design shops on Jozefa Street. Dinner: if you can afford it, dine at Studio Qulinarne (the first tasting menu is at 40 €), which targets the stars. Or Hamsa, Ariel or Rubinstein, to discover Jewish cuisine. Evening (1): go up for a drink on the first floor of Hamsa, in Sebaba. Chic and dark atmosphere, in this new club with DJ and dance floor. Evening (2): Jump into a taxi to Forum Przestrzenie, an old abandoned hotel transformed into a place of Cracow nights.

Morning: Prepare yourself for a difficult, but necessary and exciting dive in the Jewish ghetto of Podgorze. It is best to go there with a guide. Take the Laetus Bernatek pedestrian footbridge, and walk up Jozefinska Street, the main artery of the Jewish ghetto, to the so-called Ghetto Heroes Square. Visit to the pharmacy on the corner, held by a non-Jewish Pole, a courageous witness to all the atrocities committed during the war. Lunch: to recover from your emotions, have lunch in the trendy setting of the Industrial restaurant & bar, all with bay windows on the outside. Afternoon: forced visit of the factory of Oskar Schindler, the German who saved more than 1,000 Jews and became the hero of Steven Spielberg's film. Then, a more recreational visit to the MOCAKflamboyant museum of contemporary art in Krakow. Dinner: for your very last evening, you will certainly be tempted to return to the heart of the old city. Ed Red for a wonderful meat, La Fontaine for a French cuisine with Polish flavours, or Marmolada for a last plum pierogi! Variation: On this third day, many visitors visit the Auschwitz camp and/or the Wieliczka salt mine.
