University sights in Kraków

  1. A

    Collegium Maius

    The oldest surviving university building in Poland is the Collegium Maius, the Gothic structure that was built as part of the Kraków Academy. Guided tours (1pm, in English) give a glimpse at the historic interiors, as well as fascinating old scientific artefacts. In summer it's advisable to reserve in advance, either in person or by phone. If you can't get inside, it's still worth taking a look at the magnificent arcaded courtyard for which admission is free. There are a few additional exhibits for an extra charge.
