Krakow is a wonderful city to visit. We started our day with a walk through Stare Miasto (Old Town). The main square is one of the largest in Europe. We stolled through Cloth Hall which is a market made up of many stalls for the local merchants to sell their hand made goods. We also went into St. Mary’s Basilica which is one of the most beautiful churches that we have visited. The St. Mary’s Trumpet Call is played from the top of the taller of the two towers, on the hour every hour. This is in memory of the 13th-century city trumpeter sounding the alarm for the Mongol attack. He was shot in the throat mid-way through the call, which is why the tune breaks off abruptly.

We also took a walk through Planty Park and saw several statues as well as the Krakow Barbican which was built in the 15th century to protect Krakow’s main entrance.
