About Main Market Square (Rynek Główny)
The largest medieval market square in Europe — 200×200 meters of cobblestone surrounded by Gothic churches, Renaissance tenements, and the Cloth Hall arcade. The Rynek is the social center of Kraków: outdoor cafés, horse-drawn carriages, street musicians, and the most atmospheric evening promenade in Central Europe.
