Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful building reminiscent of the Paris Opera. The gardens outside are very well kept and the night lighting is also very beautiful. Definitely one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. It's a shame that it is very difficult to visit the inside as it is also reserved for prose performances in Polish, therefore it is also difficult for a tourist to approach.

This is Krakow's major performing venue. Comparable to any other major European cities, Teatr im Słowackiego is a grand, elegant place. More interested tourists may check the performance schedule.

We were strolling along the old city wall when all of a sudden we came across this structure. It's beautiful with the garden on the side. It looks almost like one of those palaces one sees in many European cities. It's built in the Baroque style in 1893, so it's less old than one would think. We didn't go inside.

This theater looks beautiful from outside and it's even more beautiful inside. The Baroque style is nite in every area of this building. It's nearly 120 years since first performance in this theater. It's big part of Polish culture and important place in Krakow's culture. Many famous actors, directors and artists put a piece of talent into this project.
Our tour took about 90 minutes. It was worth to be there.
I recommend this place.

It's a historic 19th-century venue staging concerts, theatrical performances & other events. It's located near St. Florian's Gate and down from St. Mary's Basilica. It's an amazing building with beautiful architecture both exterior and interior.

A gorgeous old style baroque theatre we came upon while walking around the parks of Krakow. Near Florian’s Gate. Next visit we will investigate attending whatever is happening while visiting. We found it too late.

At end of September I had visited Teatr Słowackiego to quite famous performance "Tango Piazzolla".
The performance was outstanding specially the Great music, played live by the band "Tango Bridge" led by Grzegorz Frankowski, they played the most beautiful hits of Piazzolla and obviously passionate tango that will take us into the world of the senses and desires.
Ofcourse you must see this in fantastic interiors of Slowacki Theatre, which was designed by Jan Zawiejski, is ranked among the most valuable monuments of theatre architecture in Europe.
There is an inscription of its façade: “Kraków for the National Arts”. Interiors are decorated with frescoes by Viennese artist Anton Tuch and the famed curtain by Henryk Siemiradzki.
Juliusz Słowacki Theatre has continuously been playing a unique role in cultural landscape of Kraków. It stages important, high quality plays which vividly comment the present days but also creatively allude to Polish and European tradition.

We were in Krakow last December and I'm not sure if we passed this beautiful building, is it across the road from The Radisson Hotel?
Written 6 May 2019
