As you near the Market Square, you’ll spot the two uneven towers of St. Mary’s Church in the distance, one taller than the other. This renowned church, with an 800-year history, features an 82-meter high tower from which a trumpeter plays the famous Marian bugle call every hour.
Step inside St. Mary’s Church to marvel at its richly adorned vaults, stained glass windows, and a treasury filled with liturgical items and vestments. The most remarkable feature is the extraordinary wooden altar, showcasing 200 lifelike human figures, crafted by a German master.
Be sure to ask your guide about the rings and lantern on the church wall, learn where the line between life and death lies, and discover where to toss a coin to ensure a return to Krakow.
