After I’d looked round the museum I headed into the courtyard and climbed the Donjon tower to take in the views of the city from the top of that. From the castle it’s a lot easier to see how the old town is built up on top of a small ridge with the towers of the various gates and churches filling the skyline.
Back down at ground level I left the castle and headed into the old town and over to the Rynek to pick up a late lunch. After lunch I continued on walking and had a look round the very impressive Krakow Gate before heading back down the main street to Lithuania park and stopping there for a little while, before it was time to head back to the castle to go on the tour of the Holy Trinity Chapel.
After the tour of the chapel I headed back to the hotel to freshen up and relax for a little while before heading out for a later dinner, which I was glad I did as the Rynek was heaving with people, but after a quick lap of the square it was clear that a lot of diners had been there for a while and were in the process of leaving, so I didn’t have to wait long to get a table.
After dinner I wandered back through the old town to the bus stop near the castle and caught the bus back to the hotel to start packing.
