Yes it is right in the heart of Krakow. You can walk to any of the Main tourist areas in town from it. It is right next to the Market area and the Trumpeters tower that Krakow is well known for. It is within walking distance of the Wawel Castle and the old city wall (there is an amazing pastry shop about a block before the gate area i might add) A day trip you could take would be to Auschwitz if you are at all interested in learning more about the holocaust. There are plenty of museums and such also. I used to live in Poland and i have been to Krakow at least a dozen times and i never got bored with it. If you have any questions feel free to email me, i will try to answer to the best of my knowledge.
