Planty Park

Sofía says

In this park you'll see lots of pigeons and structures where people leave them food. For the Polish these doves aren't like any other, they have a special legend: once there was a prince who wanted to be king. To do that, he had to get a permit from Rome, so he found a fairy who agreed to lend him money to do the trip. This fairy kept other princes in her power as guarantee that this prince would give the money back, but he wasted it in alcohol and didn't make it. As a punishment, the fairy turned the princes into pigeons and voilá! Royal pigeons were born.

This park is one of the largest ones in Kraków. It starts and ends at the bottom of Wawel Castle, 'containing' the Old Town on the inside. The park is located where the walls that protected the city were erected. In fact, there are stones that mark the exact spot where the walls and towers were located, you can see it in the pavement.

Nowadays the park is very green and lots of people come to if to walk, jog, ride a bike.... There's also a big water fountain, some games for kids and amazing sculptures all along its extension.
