Description

Follow your guide on a fascinating journey through the rich history of Krakow, with an emphasis on four iconic monuments: the Wawel Royal Castle, the Cathedral of Saints Stanislaus and Wenceslas on Wawel, the Old Town and St. Mary's Basilica located on the Main Square. After entering Wawel Hill, you will see the exhibition inside the Wawel Castle. Our guide will show you around the intricate interiors of the castle, which for centuries was the residence of Polish kings but also served other functions. During this tour you will also enter the magnificent Royal Cathedral, where the royal family was buried and great ceremonies took place here. Then you will have the opportunity to see the beauty of Krakow's Old Town. You will immerse yourself in its medieval charm and discover the heart of the city in the bustling Main Square. You cannot miss St. Mary's Basilica, located in the corner of the Market Square, where the famous wooden altar made by a German master, like a photo from a bygone era, captivates with its intricate woodcarving and artistic craftsmanship.
