Your Experience

Discover Krakow’s royal past

Begin your journey in the heart of Krakow at the historic Wawel Castle, once home to the Polish monarchy and now an acclaimed museum. Stroll the grand castle halls and marvel at iconic art collections, rare tapestries and ornate Renaissance paintings. You’ll get a chance to see exclusive works by European masters like Brueghel the Younger and Willem Claesz Heda—recent prized additions augmenting the castle’s impressive galleries. As you continue, observe splendid tapestries that belonged to Zygmunt August, each detail revealing stories from a rich royal heritage.

Visit the revered Wawel Cathedral

Step inside the almost millennium-old Wawel Cathedral, an essential monument in Polish history. Here, beneath gothic arches, many Polish kings were crowned and later laid to rest in crypts beneath the cathedral floor. Your guide will reveal secret anecdotes about the cathedral’s significance and artistry, adding context to every marvel on display.

Uncover the magic of Krakow’s Old Town

Next, wind your way to the atmospheric Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with cobbled streets, market squares and architectural treasures. The highlight is St. Mary’s Basilica: discover its stunning wood-carved altar crafted by Veit Stoss, a masterpiece admired worldwide for its artistry and intricate detail. The basilica’s vibrant interiors and exquisite decorations offer a unique perspective on Krakow’s medieval grandeur.

More than landmarks

Along your route, soak up local stories and cinematic history—Krakow served as the backdrop for major film productions, including scenes in Schindler’s List.
