Big square with no beaches and shadow or rain shelter...

Pretty square, lots of nice cafe bars around the edges, horse drawn carts etc. Market in the middle, seeking mostly souvenirs.

A really nice square all what a modern tourist want

An empty but clean, spacious square. Recommended as a meeting point because it's half way between Main Railway Station and the Old City but not crowded and with some benches around to wait.

This square is outside of planty and it's a decent stop from the crowd. The problem is the clean straight lines for cars around it. There is significant revving and speeding which is an annoying disease of some population shallow drivers you often find in Poland.

A nice square in the center of Krakow, just off the walls of the old town and about a hundred meters from the main train station of the city. It provides a good spot for comparing the architectural difference between the medieval and the modernist urban planning designs and fads. It is also one of the more prominent Instagramable sites in Krakow. It is definitely one of the highlights of the city and it is worth a visit and a snap
