I love the design of Old Town Kraków! This park used to be the remnants of the city wall and moat…read more It totally surrounds all the historical areas of interest. You can find all kinds of hidden sights just by walking around it. We actually walked through it every day during our stay. There are memorial statues, playgrounds, and water features throughout the park. Although, like any city park, you will see someone passed out drunk or performing some kind of bodily function in front of you. It's an eye full. But hey, other than that it was a very relaxing walk under the shaded trees of this beautiful park. You'll have to pass through it at some point so you might as well enjoy it.

I loved this park. Nice walk behind the wall of Stare Miasto. Nice colours during the fall.read more

Quite a big park. Within it you can find the Garden of Experiences (a bit like a mini science…read moremuseum with various exhibits demonstrating various physical laws). It can be a nice place to sit on a summer's day (providing they are not mowing the grass). The view in some places is dominated by the new Kraków Arena (which an impressive, but man-made sight), but there are still plenty of trees and greenery to be enjoyed.

This is the beautiful green space surrounding the Vistula River. The best time to visit is early in…read morethe morning. There aren't as many people around during that time. You'll see people walking their dogs, joggers in the jogging lane, and bicyclists in their own lane on the pedestrian walkway closest to the river. All parts of this park are utilized for various activities. Many people just lay on the grass on beautiful sunny days to bask in the sun. The left bank of the river is the most popular place to be. By midday, it's full of people walking through it to get to the castle. There are vendors selling snacks, drinks, and souvenirs, as well as floating restaurants that open for lunch & dinner along Bulwar Czerwieński. You can also book a river cruise from this location. We just happened to see the Avenue of Stars while passing through from a different direction. There were all kinds of things to discover. It's also where you can find the famous Wawel dragon statue. What's also great is that there is a continuous wall on the upper walkway where you can sit after a long walk through the city. A wonderful place to relax and take in the beautiful scenery of the castle and the river. It's just a great start or end to the day.

It is so nice to walk along the river banks in Krakow. I was wondering for a while if it is…read moreSouthbank or Northbank , but I have found out due to my thorough investigation that it is Right Bank and Left Bank. So they are divided: Right Bank: Poleski, Wolynski & Podolski Left one: Rodla, Czerwienski, Inflancki, Kurlandzki... Left bank is really popular, there are boat trips and also boats adjusted for catering and drinks, giving lots of pleasure in the sun. River banks are green and considered as park area at some points. Most famous tourists attractions are located on the left. Wianki Krakowskie- in June- every year bringing lots of toursits and spectators to watch performances and fireworks. The best way to see banks is to board the boat and go for a trip down or up the river- or maybe left or right :)
