Krakow St Marys Basilica Visiting with Short Guided Walk | ®ExcursionMania

Overview

St. Mary’s Basilica, with its 800-year history, stands proudly in the center of Krakow, drawing visitors with its impressive asymmetrical towers and rich architectural details. As you walk through the medieval streets of the Old Town, you’ll be enchanted by the blend of history and modernity around you. With your knowledgeable guide, you’ll uncover stories about Krakow’s former defensive walls, the remains of its ancient academic district, and the beautifully adorned churches and tenement houses that tell the city’s history.

As you approach the Market Square, the two towers of St. Mary’s Church come into view, and the famous St. Mary's Bugle Call fills the air every hour from its higher tower. The melody stops mid-note, according to legend, because a medieval bugler interrupted his call to warn the city of an approaching attack. This symbol of Krakow is a true highlight, and the view of the towers alone is a memorable experience.

Upon entering the Basilica, you’ll be awe-struck by its stunning interior, which includes richly decorated stained glass windows, historic stalls, and 15th-century wooden altars created by the German master Veit Stoss. These captivating features showcase the wealth and devotion of Krakow’s former inhabitants. As you wander through the church, your guide will share fascinating details about the symbols and rings embedded in the walls, the line of life and death, and even the spot where you can toss a coin, ensuring your return to this magical city.
