same time in the heart of Kraków, you can get all the information about the city and discover the people who make up the Kraków of today. You are welcome every day from 9 am to 7 pm. You can come, look, listen, read and take a piece of the capital of Małopolska home with you.
The concept store, which opened in 2022, has featured products divided into themed sections such as lifestyle, fashion, literature and music. We asked its curators for an authoritative selection of the main product line. In Kraków Story, you can find works by well-known Krakow artists – such as clothes by Pat Guzik or Antonina Kondrat, designer jewellery from Todoro, unique products from the Kraków Glassworks, literature related to Kraków, and even honey from the nearby Moravian organic apiaries or coffee from Kraków roasters. Currently, part of the offer is also based on an open call for exhibitors – encourages InfoKraków.
Moreover, the Kraków Story is a place of meetings and numerous workshops, where artists connected with Kraków restore the splendour of antique crafts, and present their latest work, and show interested visitors 'how it's done'. Events organised in our space include jewellery-making workshops, meetings devoted to responsible fashion, be taught the art of perfect cupping by Kraków's expert coffee roasters, or go on literary walks with Łukasz Wojtusik.
The space is adapted to the needs of people with mobility impairments.
The Wyspiański Pavilion, where the InfoKraków Point is located, also has a fascinating history. This is because it was built on an undeveloped square after the two-axis Pod Lipkami building was demolished. The place had been shining empty for quite a long time. Numerous architectural competitions and discussions only took shape after a suggestion by Andrzej Wajda in 1998. During the Kraków 2000 Festival, the director proposed building a pavilion called ‘Wyspiański 2000’ (now called Wyspiański Pavilion). The concept also envisaged incorporating three unrealised stained-glass windows by Stanisław Wyspiański into the front wall of the building.
Construction of the Krzysztof Ingarden-designed pavilion began in 2005. When it opened in 2007, the front wall displayed the aforementioned stained-glass windows, designed by Stanisław Wyspiański and made by Piotr Ostrowski. The stained glass windows depict St Stanislaus, Casimir the Great, and Henry the Pious.
The building is also an interesting architectural form. Its façade is made up of moving brick tiles mounted on metal rods. When the tiles are placed in proper position,the interior floods with light.
It is also a Bicycle Friendly Place – MPR.
InfoKraków Wyspiański Pavilion is operated by the City of Kraków. It is also included in the network of the Małopolska Tourist Information System.
