Discover the highlights of the old Polish capital with a licensed guide! Let's stroll together through the charming cobblestoned streets, admire the biggest market square of mediaeval Europe and climb up the hill to the Royal Castle. I promise a lot of beautiful sites and interesting stories, both historical and legendary, to help you understand the uniqueness of my native city.
St Florian's Gate
We enter the city through the only remaining city gate, at the beginning of the so-called "Royal Route".
A masterpiece of the neo-baroque architecture from late 19th c. gives an opportunity to talk about Cracow's cultural importance.
The very heart of the historical centre of the city is a place that can't be missed and many legends have been created around it...
We visit the oldest university building in Poland and talk about scientific discoveries that started here.
The oldest part of the city and, at the same time, the center of Poland's national identity. The place of royal coronations and burials.
After admiring the Renaissance arcades of the castle we go out to admire a view over the western and southern part of the city.
Here we end our tour with real flames (no danger!), a nice view over a river and a last legend.
Bank of the Vistula river
guide fee
snacks, transportation (trams and buses about 1USD-1.5USD)
Please note that this tour involves quite a lot of walking! If you don't feel comfortable climbing up the Castle Hill, we can spend more time in the city instead and e.g. visit some churches. There will be more than enough to discover in any case! I suggest taking a short coffee & toilet break in the middle of the tour, but whether, when and where we will do it, is completely up to you. There is no need to pay any entrance ticket, if we stick to the suggested itinerary. If you want to enter a church or a museum on a way - it is possible, but please note that it may make the tour longer and generate extra costs. For any special wishes or needs please contact me directly. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Other days possible depending on availability.
