Always a pleasure to get down to Kraków - even if business means there's only time to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Market Square.
Below: the north side of the square. Look at the gorgeous sunshine - it was +7C; positively hot for mid-December.
Below: we passed through the square as the trumpeter played the
Hejnał Mariacki at 11 o'clock. You can just see the brass bell of the trumpet in the upper-middle window.
Below: the
Sukiennice (cloth hall) seen from the east...
...and from the west (
below). It's been recently refurbished, and there's much to see below ground level (though not this time).
Inside the Sukiennice, everything's as it was (wooden and woollen touristy artefacts) though a bit more Christmassy.
And so farewell, Kraków. It's good to know you are there, and that you can be reached from Warsaw for a mere 54 złotys by train (TLK - the InterCity's second class costs 119.50 złotys). Below:
vue generale of the north side of Sukiennice and the Marian church in the background.

Beautiful photos. Thank you for them. I miss Kraków. I haven't been there for so many years. If it's only such cost (119.50 PLN) a short weekend trip to Kraków is a good idea.:)
