Traveler reviews
Michal Kowalski
★★★★★a year agoThe Bugle Tower in Kraków was a beautiful spot—great views, rich history, and the trumpet call was iconic. Really enjoyed it… but there was a loud protest going on below that kinda wrecked the peaceful vibe. Still worth it, just maybe check for event like that, and also recommend to buy the tickets in an advance as there are limited tickets available for each hour
Marin “SayanMk” Kolev
★★★★★3 years agoYou can go up for 20 minutes up and down, so be physically prepared, it's not a 2 minute climb. A lot of stairs but the view is not bad. Especially for the square. Opens up at 11, tickets must be bought beforehand as there are only groups per 30 minutes or so, you can't enter at any times. So you'll definitely have company.
