Our Secret Traveller rates this tour highly as "the perfect introduction to Krakow's Old Town". "Lasting approximately 2.5 hours, this tour is a must do when in the magnificent Old Town of Krakow. The local guides are very knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely enthusiastic, delivering potentially heavy content in a really accessible, digestible way at a relaxed pace - making for an interesting and enjoyable journey through the Middle ages to present day in this charming, historically important part of Krakow. All the key sights are covered and the local tips from the guides were excellent!"

Overview

Welcome to the heart of Krakow, where history, culture, and beauty intertwine. The Old Town that survived the Second World War pulsates with the ambiance of the days when it was the capital of Europe’s largest country. Join us for a tour of a city that hasn’t changed much since the Middle Ages to discover why it was included on the first-ever UNESCO Heritage List!

Explore the Royal Route:
Following the Royal Route, you'll pass by breathtaking landmarks, including the magnificent Wawel Castle, the awe-inspiring St. Mary's Basilica, and the bustling Main Market Square. Each site holds a piece of the city's story, and our expert guides will bring those stories to life, adding the precious context of the history and culture of Poland.

Cultural Hub:
We will show you where to find traces of the city's heyday in the 15th and 16th centuries when Copernicus walked these streets.

A UNESCO World Heritage Gem:
The Old Town & the Wawel Castle are UNESCO World Heritage Sites for a good reason. Its charming streets, stunning architecture, and rich history make it one of Europe's most well-preserved and cherished destinations.
