First-time route

Kraków: market to royal hill

Every hour the trumpeter on St Mary's tower breaks the melody off mid-note. There is a beautiful legend explaining why, and it does not survive fact-checking. In the hour between Rynek Główny and Wawel you will meet several more of these: a square that only looks empty, a church that is now an outline under your feet, a palace slotted into centuries that were already there. Kraków did not swap one era for the next — it stacked them.
