Things to Know Before You Go
Due to its location, St. Adalbert Church can get busy, especially during peak tourist hours. The church holds regular masses, so visitors should plan their visit around these times to avoid disruption. Photography is allowed but should be done respectfully. Be sure to check for any temporary exhibitions or events hosted within the church.
How to Get There
St. Adalbert Church is located in the Main Market Square of Krakow’s Old Town, making it easily accessible by foot from most central accommodations. If you’re further afield, trams and buses stop near the Old Town, and it’s a short walk from there. A ride-sharing service or taxi is another convenient option if traveling from outside the city center.
When to Get There
The church is open year-round, making it a great addition to any Krakow itinerary. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for a more peaceful visit, as the surrounding square can get crowded during the day. Visiting in the evening offers a magical atmosphere, with the church beautifully lit against the backdrop of the lively Main Market Square.
Day Trips from Krakow
Given its central location, St. Adalbert Church is best combined with a day of exploring Krakow’s Old Town. Pair it with visits to St. Mary’s Basilica, the Cloth Hall, and the Town Hall Tower.
