Kraków for The Three Generations: a Friday-to-Monday weekend
A Gothic square, a river dragon and a thousand-year-old market.
A weekend everyone can keep up with. Flat routes and places to sit, a boat or a funicular for the view, one highlight a day that works at eight and at eighty, and dinners with a long table.
Friday: Benches on the square
- Cloth Hall
The great square is flat and cobbled, with benches by the Cloth Hall and the trumpet call on the hour; no stairs needed.
- Hawełka
A terrace and a long table on the square, with a menu of schnitzel, soup and potato pancakes for every age.
Saturday: Lift to the medieval market
- Rynek Underground
The medieval market under the square, step-free with lifts; the touch screens and old coins keep three ages busy.
- Szara Kamienica
A long lunch table for the whole family on the square, with Polish cooking and a children's menu.
- Planty Park
A flat ring of park with benches under the chestnuts; the old moat is a gentle walk for any pace.
Sunday: The Lady with an Ermine
- Czartoryski Museum
Leonardo's Lady with an Ermine in a restored museum with lifts and benches in every room; book a timed slot.
- Wierzynek
A long table for eight in a historic dining room on the square; the dumplings and the roast duck suit every generation.
Monday: Chocolate and a basilica
- E. Wedel Chocolate Lounge
Thick hot chocolate and cake in a tearoom with room for strollers and sticks; the grandchildren will vote it the highlight.
- St. Mary's Basilica
The carved altarpiece and the star-strewn blue ceiling, with pews to sit on; the main entrance is step-free.
