This small, seasonal 'museum' (open from April until the end of October only) is in turns uninformative and overly informative, but basically it gives you a chance to climb around what's left of Kraków's 13th century defensive walls. Pass a few silly mannequins in medieval dress, before walking the length of wall between two towers and getting a description of the other 40-odd towers demolished by the Austrians in the 18th century. Enjoy views and great photo opportunities over Floriańska Street, but generally a visit to the Barbican is more interesting and informative; fortunately your ticket includes entry to the Barbican as well.

Wow. Rather snobbish, that. This fellow must have been having a bad day. For the rest of you, please come to our city and see for yourselves. I think you’ll be surprised at the beauty of the place. You’ll see more silly English-speaking tourists than silly manikins, I guarantee.
