Snuggle into our oasis of quiet, situated away from the city bustle yet right in the heart of the town—close to everything yet separated enough to feel like you're in another world. It's the perfect place to escape the everyday noise. Start your day with a cup of aromatic coffee on the balcony, and then gently immerse yourself in the charms of Krakow—all waiting just outside your door! Your new apartment will provide you with a space full of warmth and tranquility. It consists of a separate, cozy bedroom, a living room with a functional kitchenette, and a comfortable bathroom. Its arrangement makes it extremely cozy. Located in a modern townhouse, set back from the street, it not only ensures peace and quiet but also privacy. The apartment is fully equipped with essential amenities such as bedding, towels, a flat-screen TV, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. A significant advantage is also a balcony with a relaxing view of the inner courtyard and a separate entrance for additional privacy. The entire apartment is at your disposal. As sleeping accommodations, we offer the possibility to host 4 people, in the configuration: a large double bed in the bedroom and a fold-out sofa in the living room part of the apartment, which can easily be transformed into a sleeping space for another 2 people. Nearby the apartment are: Popular places near the apartment include the Krakow Gallery, the National Museum in Krakow, and the Town Hall Tower. The John Paul II Kraków-Balice International Airport is located 17 km from the property. The apartment is located in the Old Town district of Krakow, 500 meters from St. Mary's Basilica, 500 meters from the Alley of Lost Souls, and 1.2 km from the Krakow Main Railway Station. Free WiFi and private parking are available on site. The property is less than 1 km from Florian's Gate and 200 meters from the city center. Nicolaus Copernicus Street 8 – The Perfect Base for Exploring Krakow Nicolaus Copernicus Street 8 was once a historic townhouse from 1886\. In 2010, it was replaced with a modern townhouse. Copernicus Street is located right in the heart of Krakow, on the border of the Old Town and the historic district of Wesoła. This location combines the charm of a quiet, side street with the immediate proximity to major tourist attractions. Just a short walk away, you can find yourself in the bustling Main Market Square or the tranquility of the green Planty Park – making this address a unique starting point for exploring the city. Nearby attractions and landmarks (with distances): Planty Park – a green park surrounding the Old Town (approx. 100m from Copernicus 8). The former city moats have been transformed into picturesque gardens, perfect for a stroll among the historic defensive walls. Florian Gate and Barbican – a medieval city gate and the adjacent round fort Barbican (approx. 500-550m). They are remnants of Krakow’s former fortifications and the entrance to the royal route leading to the Market Square. Main Market Square – the central square of Krakow (approx. 700m). It is the largest medieval market square in Europe, the heart of the city surrounded by historic townhouses. In the Market Square, you can admire the Cloth Hall, the Adam Mickiewicz Monument, the Town Hall Tower (former town hall tower), and St. Mary's Basilica – a Gothic church with an altar by Veit Stoss, from where a bugle call is played every hour. St. Nicholas Church – a parish church right next to the townhouse (Copernicus St. 9, \~50m). Its origins date back to the 12th century; it has preserved Gothic and Baroque elements, making it one of the oldest and most architecturally interesting churches in Krakow. Jagiellonian University Botanical Garden – the oldest botanical garden in Poland, established in 1783 (Copernicus St. 27, approx. 800m). This charming place is full of exotic plants and historic greenhouses, ideal for relaxing amidst greenery after touring the sights. Wawel Royal Castle – the famous Wawel Castle and cathedral on the hill above the Vistula River (approx. 1.5km, 20 min walk from Copernicus 8). The former residence of the kings of Poland is now a museum of crown treasures and a symbol of national history. Kazimierz District – the historic Jewish district full of historic synagogues, atmospheric cafes, and galleries (approx. 1km south). In the evening, Kazimierz comes alive, offering numerous pubs in Nowy Square and around Szeroka Street. Nearby, you can also find the Jagiellonian University Pharmacy Museum (approx. 450m) – a unique pharmacy museum in a historic townhouse, Collegium Maius (approx. 1km) – the oldest university building in Krakow, and for shopping enthusiasts, the Kazimierz Gallery (approx. 1.2km) on the Vistula River. The Main Railway Station (main train station) is just 500m away, facilitating access and further travels. Copernicus Street 8 offers a unique combination of peace and authentic atmosphere with access to the vibrant city center of Krakow. The proximity of key landmarks means that everything is within reach – from medieval defensive walls to the royal chambers of Wawel. At the same time, the area has retained many historic buildings with an academic pedigree (this is where former clinics of the Jagiellonian University and medical institutes were located), giving it a unique character. The street name commemorates astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, who studied at the Krakow Academy from 1491–1495. Thus, Copernicus 8 is not just an address – it is a place with a soul, where the history of science meets the history of kings and artists. Being an ideal starting point for exploring, this location allows you to feel the true atmosphere of Krakow: from morning walks in Planty, through the bustling buzz of the Market Square, to evening discoveries in Kazimierz. By coming here, we experience Krakow in a nutshell – a city full of monuments, culture, and unforgettable colors. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation -
