Obwarzanki - the parboiled dough rings which have been produced and sold in Kraków for over 600 years, are synonymous with the city, and beloved by both its people and pigeons. If you can't get enough of these chewy circular snacks, learn more about them at this interactive educational museum next to Stary Kleparz. Discover what makes them unique, see how they're made firsthand and even bake your own. Primarily occupied with school groups, 1-hour workshops for the general public are limited to specific hours; English-language sessions generally take place on weekends, but visit their website for times, tickets and more information. Each participant leaves with their very own obwarzanek to cherish forever (external conditions may apply) or chow down on immediately. During the rest of the week groups can still visit if arranged in advance, and anyone can drop in to their small cafe/shop for a coffee and a bagel. Some small souvenirs are also on-hand.
