A full day can feel rich, not rushed, if you build the schedule around energy curves.

Core principle

Do demanding activity first (Wieliczka), then switch to flexible urban exploration (Krakow).

Full-day framework

Segment	Focus	Duration
Morning	Transfer + mine route	4-5 h
Midday	Lunch + reset	1-1.5 h
Afternoon	Old Town axis	2 h
Evening	Kazimierz or Vistula	1.5-2 h

Suggested walk line in Krakow

Florianska -> Rynek Glowny -> Grodzka -> river-facing segment.

Energy management checklist

Lightweight bag only
Midday seated meal
One low-stimulation break
Optional museum only if everyone still has focus

Why this order works

Wieliczka requires timed precision. Krakow rewards wandering. Put precision first and flexibility second.

If rain appears in the forecast

Keep the morning identical and swap evening outdoor plans for indoor dining + short district walk.
