Planty

  Planty stretches around Krakow's Old Town, once forming the city’s defensive walls. Established in the mid-19th century, this 4-kilometer park encircles the heart of the city, providing a green respite dotted with sculptures and historical monuments. Visiting in May, you might catch the vibrant colors of blooming flowers, including around 300 species of trees and shrubs lining the pathways. Here, guests can stroll, cycle, or simply relax while enjoying views of landmarks like the Barbican and St. Florian's Gate. This urban park serves as a popular spot for both locals and tourists to unwind amidst nature and history.
