Help with Itinerary to Krakow.

The old town and the magnificent cathedral.

There is a nice old town walk in the RS guide.

I'll be there a couple of weeks before you. Also traveling solo but in my late 40s.

Looking at your Day 4 - Is your Auschwitz tour slot at 12:40pm? Are you going by bus or train? I don't think you will have much time in the AM for shopping and strolling if you factor your transportation to Auschwitz. You should be at the museum 30 minutes before your appointment time for security screening.

I didn't see in your itinerary churches and the Underground Museum (https://bilety.mhk.pl/rezerwacja/wydarzenie.html?idl=20&lang=en). The link will take you to ticket page where you can then see some closure dates.

The Rynek Underground Museum - it's easy to get to as it's literally under the main square. For Auschwitz, are you on a packaged tour that leaves Krakow at 12:40, or is your entrance to Auschwitz at that time? If the latter, you should leave Krakow by 10:30.

jules m: I'm doing the old town tour afternoon of second day.

Joy: I'm passing up other churches b/c I'd rather be walking amongst locals when possible. Happy Travels!

markcw: My Auschwitz tour is a package tour leaving Krakow at 12:40.

Thank you for the comments.

Day 2. If present Wednesday through Saturday, I would encourage you to consider a brief stop at the Pharmacy under the Eagle (now small museum), the pharmacy of Tadeusz Pankiewicz in the Krakow ghetto from which the Gentile pharmacist helped the Jews. His post-war book, the excellent The Krakow Ghetto Pharmacy details his activities, as well as his observations of what happened on the main square of the ghetto, which he could easily see from his shop window. .
