Kraków video city walk

Kraków is organised around one enormous square, and everything else in the old town is a short walk from it. The scale is unusual — the square is big enough to feel like open country in the middle of a dense city, with the cloth hall stranded in the centre of it. Around that, the streets are narrow, flat and easy, ringed by a park where the walls used to be. It is one of the more comfortable European centres to walk, and the footage reflects that.

Common questions

Does the walk cross the Main Square?

Yes, more than once. It is the hinge of the old town: most routes through the centre end up crossing it in one direction or another.

Is any of this narrated?

No. There is no voice-over and no captions burned into the picture — just the walk and its own recorded sound.
