Planty is a park ring that surrounds the old city and arose on the site of the city walls. The walls themselves were demolished in the 19th century by order of the Austrian authorities, who feared Polish uprisings. The formal reason for the demolition was the poor technical condition of the walls.
Walking along the Planty, you can not only see the buildings of old Krakow from a completely new angle, but also enjoy a leisurely stroll through the park area of the city. You can walk the entire Plant ring (total length is about 4 km), you can only go halfway - from the Barbican to Wawel, and return along the Royal Road, thus combining two excursions at once. If you are in the oldest city, it is enough to turn in any direction, perpendicular to the Royal Way, and you will come out to the green ring Plante.
