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 and watch a strange video before walking the length of wall between the city's only three surviving towers, while learning about 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.
Average visiting time: 30mins.

Consisting of two separate exhibits, Ulica Pomorska offers the most chilling museum experience in Kraków (which is saying something). Located in the Dom Śląski, or ‘Silesian House,’ this infamous building became the Kraków headquarters of the Gestapo

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.
