Like any ancient city, Kraków looks pretty great from above.
Full of iconic church spires and red-shingled roofs (and lacking almost any obtrusive skyscrapers), it's an impressive skyline full of recognisable architectural monuments that make it unmistakable from any other in the world.
Kraków is full of opportunities for sweeping views, from romantic rooftop restaurants to unusual outdoor lookouts, each of which offers its own unique vantage on the city. Below we list venues that possess views you simply won't find anywhere else, but first - our top recommendations.
The sunny terrace of Ziyad Restaurant at Zinar Castle.
Listed at the end of this article you'll find numerous restaurants and cafes that offer unique views, but the completion of Unity Tower - Kraków's tallest skyscraper - has finally put the rest to shame in terms of sheer height. With the Unity Eye Restaurant & Bar occupying the 25th and 26th floors, you simply can't get a more elevated, expansive view of Kraków - reaching all the way to the Tatra Mountains in good weather.
Krakus Mound
Kraków's Mounds are one of the city's most unique features, offering panoramic views in all directions, but nothing beats Krakus Mound in our opinion. Sandomierska Tower and the separate Viewing Terrace give you an intimate look over the interior spaces of Wawel, while a climb up St. Mary's Tower gives shutterbugs the best angles over the market square short of a drone.
