Where

A costumed rider on a hobby horse travels the Royal Road to the Rynek, accompanied by a procession with music. According to local belief, being touched by his mace brings good luck. The Museum of Kraków states explicitly that the real Lajkonik can be seen only once a year, during the octave of Corpus Christi.
