Church of Saints Peter and Paul
Grodzka 52a, Kraków
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is the first Baroque building in Kraków and one of the finest in Poland — a white-faced Italian import on a street of Gothic and Renaissance neighbours that announced, when it was completed in 1635, that the Counter-Reformation had arrived and it had budget.
Corpus Christi Basilica
Bożego Ciała 26, Kraków
Corpus Christi is the main parish church of Kazimierz — the Christian half, which most visitors don't realise was a distinct area from the Jewish quarter.
National Museum (Main Building)
3 Maja 1, Kraków
The National Museum's main building is a 1930s modernist block that holds the most comprehensive collection of Polish art in the country — and, somewhat improbably, Leonardo da Vinci's 'Lady with an Ermine,' one of only four surviving Leonardo portraits and arguably the most valuable painting in Poland.
St Mary's Basilica
Plac Mariacki 5, Kraków
St Mary's Basilica dominates the Main Square with two mismatched towers — one 81 metres tall, the other 69 — which, according to legend, were built by two brothers in competition.
Sukiennice (Cloth Hall)
Rynek Główny 1/3, Kraków
The Cloth Hall is a Renaissance arcade sitting in the dead centre of Europe's largest medieval square, and it's been operating as a marketplace since the 14th century — which arguably makes it the world's oldest shopping mall, though the comparison does it a disservice.
Wieliczka Salt Mine
Daniłowicza 10, Wieliczka
Wieliczka is what happens when miners spend 700 years underground and get bored.
