Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

Ok square located easy walking distance from the main square. There were a few modern pink statues here the first day we came but they were not there when we returned the day later - not bothered as they were crap.
Some nice bars around here.

Gorgeous little square, just one street back from the main square. Lots of lovely places to eat and drink and watch the world go by. Mesmerising fountains that light up and change colour at night. Also, a handy taxi rank.

This square is a short walk away from the main square with few tourists. It is a traditional square with imposing buildings all around and the Art Deco Palace of Fine Arts Gallery in front a nice fountain. Grab a drink or Ice Cream, sit and while away some time away from the bustle of the main square.

Our Apartment is at this square, so it’s hard to miss. Lovely water feature that lights up at night. Places to sit and some restaurants etc dotted about. Much smaller and much quieter than the main square

Lovely square with a nice local trader market. But please, you must, you simply must try the sauteed potatoes from the traditional food stall! I've never eaten anything as good!

I love Krakow but always wish there was more public seating in the main square. I was thrilled to discover the beautiful quite square with lots of seating, pavement fountains for children (and adults) to splash in. Restaurants,bars and ice-cream shops surrounding the square. Take a stroll, buy a sandwich and sit for a while - just PERFECT. (opposite hotel Scandale Royal)

One of my favourite square's in Krakow and despite it only being a short walk from Main Market Square ( Rynek ) it's a much less touristic square and has a great atmosphere to it.
I've been travelling to Krakow for close to 30 years ,I remember this square when it was more or less an ugly car park and taxi rank ,the beautiful Art Nouveau town houses were covered in years of car pollution ,I vividly remember the concrete flower beds with no flowers in ,in 2008 a metamorphoses occurred and two years later and millions of Zloty's invested this square was rejuvenated again ,the buildings here are amazing to view now ,the Old Theatre,Palace Of Fine Arts are beautiful buildings,one of the most striking features of this square is the wonderful illuminated fountain ,I love visiting this square ,I much prefers it to Maly Rynek and Rynek ,the pubs,bars,cafés and restaurants that line this square are superb ,all in all it's a great square to check out if you're planning a trip to Krakow.

It's hard to believe that before 2009 this area was no more than a car park and transport stop until 13 million Zlotys were ploughed into a regeneration project that now gives you this wonderful square that is such a joy to go to.
The architecture here is outstanding with a beautiful fountain as it's centerpiece and some great pubs,café's,bars and restaurants to visit such as Tribeca Café,Scandle Royale Cafe and Banialuka to name but some and with its close proximity to the wonderful Main Market Square makes for an ideal place to visit.
A great Square and well worth checking out.

Probably not,the lively bar part of the square is only down one side and I think the hotels are in another part. Really it’s an ideal location,not just for the town centre but for krakow in general.
