Kraków Old Town

Any exploration of Kraków’s Old Town should start with the ‘Royal Route’ – the historical coronation path of Polish kings when Kraków served as the royal capital from the 14th century to the very end of the 16th century. Most of the Old Town’s prime sights (more information on which can be found in these pages with help from the index) lay along this route from the Floriańska Gate to Wawel Castle.
