Amazing 11th century cathedral known as "The Rock" with great location on the river just seconds away from the flat. Our building was actually built on the church's grounds 100 years ago.

One of the most famous restaurants in Kraków and rather spectacular. It doesn't try to be quaint, generic and oldy worldy like other restaurants on the square. It's effortlessly stylish. One of my favourites. but a little pricey.

Cult breakfast eatery. I recommend the apple fritters if you would like to try something typically Polish, or Shahshuha (Israeli omlette) if you fancy something more exotic or Middle Eastern in keeping with the Jewish neighbourhood.
