Underground it is cooler than street level which is very refreshing on a hot day. The price is very cheap so it is good value for money. The displays inside include a lot of rock which gets a bit repetitive and a lot of the information is in Polish which is quite limiting. But you do get a feel for... More

This was our favourite attraction of our trip to Krakow, it is fantastic. Its very hands on, and this makes it more enjoyable than constantly reading displays. You have to book a slot to visit, this is great because it means it is not crowded and you can wander round at your own pace without waiting to look at displays.... More

Had to visit two Tourist Information offices before being told correctly how to find the entrance to this museum. It's very poorly advertised and not signposted at all. Splendid exhibits but when we visited early evening there was no English guide so had to do the exhibits on our own. OK when English appeared by the exhibits but not the... More

nice "museum". It's rather cool place to visit than to know something about Kraków. There are many curiosity and interactive things. Ideal place for children but the adult may also like it.

Really excellent museum, I disagree with the comments about the displays, all the ones we saw had translations into many languages, the timed entry meant we were not overrun with big tour parties, well worth a visit.

The museum was disappointing to us since we'd read favorable reviews. The concept of the museum is fascinating, but many of the audio-visual components do not have English translations. Therefore, unless you speak Polish, you're left to guess on figuring out some items and forced to skip videos.

If you're interested in what has made this beautiful city what it is today then this relatively new and fully interactive history of the city is a definite must see. They limit the number of people inside at any one time, so be advised that it's wise to book your tickets in advance. We went on a Friday evening having... More

The centuries of history revealed in this archaeological museum were stumbled upon in 2005 during a project to repave the Rynek Glowny area. The museum is well laid out and provides very user-friendly information in multiple languages. Be sure to save time for the fascinating series of videos at the end, which reflect sequential eras from Krakow's early history to... More
