Getting started

Arrive at the main entrance of the Rynek Underground Museum and have your voucher checked at the ticket desk or turnstile.

What to expect

Rynek Underground Museum

Walk into an archaeological and architectural preserve hidden beneath Krakow's Main Market Square, set across nearly 4,000 square meters. The museum is built on the remains of historic merchant stalls and streets, revealing how Krakow grew as a medieval trade center. As you move through the corridors and chambers, layers of the city's past appear through preserved structures, artifacts, and multimedia.

Features:

• Explore ancient streets and merchant stalls set below the current market square, seeing stone pathways and trading spots that once formed the commercial heart of the city.

• See artifacts from daily life such as scales, coins, jewelry, tools, and archaeological remains that show how merchants, craftsmen, and travelers lived and worked.

• Spend time with multimedia installations using holograms, touchscreens, and films that recreate the movement, sounds, and atmosphere of a busy medieval city.

• View reconstructions of 11th-century burials that illustrate early medieval customs and provide context for Krakow's long history.

• Use your entry ticket for full-day access to the exhibits, giving you the freedom to explore the galleries at your own pace if you choose the non-guided option.

• Join a guided tour of the museum in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Polish for 1.5 hours with a professional guide who explains the key findings and stories, or opt for a 1.5-hour private guided tour in English for a more focused visit if you select this option.
