Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Kazmierz The Former Jewish District, Szeroka 24, Krakow 31-053 Poland
Once independent, the city situated south of Wawel was the hub of Jewish life in Kraków for centuries, and today it is one of the greatest tourist attractions of the city.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Wawel Royal Castle, Wawel 5, Krakow 31-001 Poland
The spectacular renaissance palace that we admire today atop Wawel Hill is the result of the refurbishment of the Gothic Royal Castle in the first half of the 16th century according to the wishes of Sigismund I the Old (Zygmunt Stary). It was the abode of Polish kings and their closest family, while the stately halls provided a backdrop for courtly and political life.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Wawel Cathedral, Wawel 3, Krakow 31-001 Poland
The most important house of worship in Poland, whose imposing interior symbolically testifies to the continuity of the historical memory of generations of Poles. The last resting place of Polish kings, national heroes, eminent poets, and the patron saint of Poland – Bishop Stanislaus. For centuries, the venue of coronations.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Ulica Kanonicza Stare Miasto, Krakow Poland
An exceptionally picturesque little street, where every house boasts a long and rich history, often reaching back to the first half of the 14th century.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Royal Way (Droga Krolewska), Krakow Poland
ROYAL ROUTE – a former route of the royal retinue’s ceremonial processions. It runs from St. Florian’s Church, past the Barbican, along the preserved fragments of the city walls and St. Florian’s Gate, through Floriańska Street to the Main Market Square and through Grodzka and Kanoniczna Street to the Royal Castle on Wawel Hill. A wander along the royal route allows for seeing
the most precious churches and the most interesting tenement houses of the city. A part of the route (St. Mary’s Basilica – Wawel Hill) is being traversed to this day in the ceremonial processions, such as church processions at Corpus Christi or funeral processions towards Wawel Hill or the necropolis in Skałka.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Muzeum Uniwersytetu Jagiellonskiego Collegium Maius, ul. Jagiellonska 15, Krakow 31-010 Poland
Founded by King Casimir the Great (Kazimierz Wielki) in 1364, the Jagiellonian is Poland’s oldest university, and in this part of Europe it is second only to Prague in terms of antiquity. Its oldest building, Collegium Maius, is over 500 years old.
Stop At: Krakow's Rynek Glowny Central Square, Center of Old Town, Krakow Poland
This is the place of the most “mosts”: the most important public space in Kraków, the most expansive Market Square of medieval Europe, it gathers everything most characteristic of the city and has its most distinctive hallmarks, and last but not least: the most beautiful, the most important, the most charming, the most…
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Sukiennice (Cloth Hall), Rynek Glowny 1/3, Krakow 31-042 Poland
One of the symbols of city, a pearl of renaissance architecture, Kraków’s oldest “commercial centre”: Sukiennice or the Cloth Hall is one of the most important elements of the architectural heritage of Kraków.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Bazylika Mariacka, Pl. Mariacki 5, Krakow 31-042 Poland
A history spanning over eight centuries, a high altar by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz), a bugle call, the star strewn murals by Jan Matejko covering the vaulting: all this in a single church! Moreover: in the very centre of Kraków!

We had good time with our tour leader, Beata who was very knowledgeable and really enjoyed listening to all she said about the history of inside the Wawel Castle. Highly recommended.
I was lucky enough to be one of two people on this tour so it felt like I had a guide just to myself : walking through Krakow, the castle and then back at the Mariacki in time to hear the 12 0 clock trumpet. This tour was really worthwhile
The guide spoke very softly and her English was not good.
Our city guide Bruno was very professional and fun to talk to. The guide in the Wawel Castle was so difficult to understand and so quick to run through the rooms, I had to go back the next day and do it over because I felt like I haven't seen enough.
Excellent tour of the city and Beata, our guide, was very knowledgeable and really enjoyed listening to all she ha had to say. Highly recommended.
Good morning walking around Krakow. Time is always a constraint in these types of activities.
My wife and I feel in Love with Krakow as a result of this tour. 5.5 hours of walking and every minute was great. Our tour guide, David, loved his city and made us love it too.
