Hotels near St Mary's Basilica

One of the most famous of Poland's churches, this Gothic structure features two striking towers of different heights and surprisingly richly decorated insight, mostly thanks to the vibrant polychromy by great Polish artist Jan Matejko. The greatest masterpiece is though the Main Altar by Veit Stoss - a late Gothic illustration for St. Mary's and Jesus life, including scenes of Mary's death and Assumption. Please note that the church, including Main Altar, is currently under long maintenance and renovation works, which may be of some inconvenience.

    Must see in Kraków
    If you are in Kraków you have to see this beautiful gothic church. The most characteristic place in it’s interior is the Veit Stoss’ altar with these stunning ornaments. St. Mary’s Church is the place which everybody should see while being in this lovely city.

    The Pope’s Church
    My understanding is that The Pope gave sermons here before he became Pope. It’s a magnificent example of Gothic Architecture that sits adjacent to the main market square. The whole market square is a well planned area to accommodate many many people. In 2010, the funeral procession from the Basilica to the Castle must have been dramatic and historic.

    Stunning and well worth a visit inside
    St Mary's Basilica is one of the Centrepoint's of Krakow Old Town across from the Main Market Square a brick gothic church. And the place you will hear the trumpeter play his bugle call from the top of the church on the hour. Look up and when he finishes the crowd waves, and he does the same back its a touching moment. Personally, l have always thought the church looks beautiful and from the outside l have taken many photos of it. And was amazed when l walk in for the first time early in the morning when a mass was taken place it was a moving moment. On the right hand side of the church there is a visitor's entrance which opens at 11.30am which you must buy a ticket before entering the church. You can buy a ticket from church ticket office which is opposite the entrance door for 15 zloty. Walking into the church l did not know where to look as you are taken back by its beauty from its Architecture, Ceilings, Sculptures, Paintings, Stain glassed windows, Veit Stoss altarpiece is stunning to see and definitely a highlight. At this time, you are allowed to take photos which l did in a respectful way.

    Stunning
    Simply stunning. We had walked passed this beautiful church a few times amazed by the architecture from the outside of the building then we were passing as there was a service one evening and decided to go in. First time a church has wowed and amazed me. It was just a very moving moment. We sat there for some time taking in the beautiful architecture. And not really being people that go to church I could not believe the affect st. Mary’s had on us. Please visit this beautiful amazing church.

    Was confused about where to buy the ticket at first because directions weren't clear, but after purchasing, I found the process rather easy. We visited when the outside was under construction but was still very admirable and beautiful with stunning architecture. Once inside, the ceiling really took us by surprise simply with how the navy blue was bright and affective. The statues and delicate fittings was magnificent

    Well worth a visit- no booking required
    A little confusing to get tickets, but it’s just at the ticket office over the road, then you go in through a side door as the main door at the front is for prayer only. The areas tourists can explore are just absolutely stunning. Lovely way of spending an hour or so, just a shame there is currently scaffolding up the front- will have to visit again!!

    I’m not really one for this kind of activity but it was definitely worthwhile the visit. The inside is breathtaking. The intricate detail of the art is sublime and the high level ceilings are awesome. Many people praying whilst we were there with authenticates the experience.

    Stunning place
    It was a surprise to visit this basilica, where gothic style is so so rich! The altar is the main attraction although the full building is rich in details! I would try to get in time to see the opening of the altar - it’s a special moment to visit the basilica!

    Mary's Basilica
    We visited St. Mary's Basilica in Kraków, and it was absolutely breathtaking! The church is beautiful inside and out. The altarpiece by Veit Stoss is incredible and so detailed. We were lucky to hear the trumpet call from the tower, which happens every hour. It was a special moment for our family. Inside, the stained glass windows and the ornate decorations are stunning. My kids were amazed by the colors and the history. We spent a good amount of time just taking in the beauty and the peaceful atmosphere. St. Mary's Basilica is a must-see if you’re in Kraków. It’s right on the Main Square, so it’s easy to find. We all felt moved by the visit and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

    Stunningly beautiful basilica
    "Kościół Mariacki" (Mary's Church) is in Krakow main square (Rynek Główny), and is part of the UNESCO heritage site "Historic Centre of Kraków" since 1978. It is in Brick Gothic style, and it was built in the 14th century, over an older church founded in 1222. Side chapels were added in the 15th century, and in the 18th century the interior was rebuilt in the late Baroque style. In 1887–1891 the neo-Gothic style was introduced, and new murals and stained glass windows were added, by Polish artists Jan Matejko, Stanisław Wyspiański and Józef Mehoffer. The main altar has a stunning wooden altarpiece that was carved between 1477 and 1489 by sculptor Veit Stoss.
