- Kraków residents, visitors, and history enthusiasts
- Worth noticing
- The page distinguishes historical reconstructions from later views based on old city plans; present-day tram positions use ZTP Kraków GTFS data.
Field notes
The interface includes keyboard controls for movement, zoom, rotation, era changes, and hiding the interface, alongside a link-copy control for a view. The page names OpenStreetMap, GUGiK, OpenHistoricalMap, and ZTP Kraków as data sources, and notes that the map database is under ODbL. Its historical scenes are labeled as reconstructions where applicable; the scenarios list is still marked as work in progress.
