Krakow Tickets

A visit to Krakow is always a good plan, as it is one of Poland's most important cities and, in fact, served as its capital until 1596. As such, it has a wealth of history and culture accumulated over the centuries filled with impressive architecture, interesting cuisine, samples of Jewish culture and signs of the ravages of World War II.

Among the options of what to see and do in Kraków there are a number of entrance fees, experiences, tours and other events to consider in your itinerary. You can experience an evening at a Chopin piano concert, see a folklore show and sample local foods, visit Schindler's factory, see Wavel Castle, venture out on a shooting or axe-throwing adventure and much more!

If you are an art lover and love melodies or are just curious about classical music, one of the best plans for your 4-day itinerary in Krakow or even less is to go to a piano concert to listen to Chopin's compositions.

Frédéric François Chopin is one of the most important artists in the history of classical music and what better than to take advantage of a visit to his hometown, Krakow, to get to know and enjoy some of his compositions.

To live this experience, you will have to go to the Chopin Gallery, a cosy room where you will travel back in time while listening to the melancholic sounds of the piano, and observing old portraits and paintings.

The concert lasts approximately 1 hour and has the participation of local professional pianists. During the activity, you can enjoy a glass of wine and immerse yourself in the world of Chopin, full of captivating sounds.
