The condolence book will be available from November 9 to 11, between 9am and 7pm, in the lobby of Kraków City Hall at Plac Wszystkich Świętych. Residents can also submit condolences online through the city's website. 

Kraków Mayor Łukasz Gibała was the first to submit an entry in the online condolence book. 

“There are no words that can express my pain over the tragedy that has broken all our hearts. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims. Their suffering is now the suffering of the whole of Kraków,” he wrote. 

The solidarity rally will begin at 8pm on Monday in the Main Market Square. Mayor Gibała announced it on X and said participants would commemorate the victims. He also said Kraków would always remain a proud, hospitable and open city. 

After the Main Market Square reopened on Sunday evening, people gathered at the locations where victims had been killed or injured, including at the points where Szewska and Sienna streets meet the square and near St Mary's Basilica, to lay flowers and light candles. 

The square had been closed since Sunday morning while investigators carried out their work following Saturday's attack. The city is observing mourning through November 11.

National mourning across Poland began on Sunday and will continue through Monday.
