Description

Embark on a relaxing 5-hour river journey from Krakow to the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec, one of Poland’s oldest monasteries, beautifully perched on a limestone hill above the Vistula River. Depart from Wiślany Ogród / Statek Sobieski and sail slowly along Krakow’s riverside landmarks. Experience the unique moment of crossing a historic water lock, a fascinating part of the route rarely seen by tourists. As the urban scenery fades, enjoy the peaceful landscapes of southern Krakow — green river bends, forested hills, and wildlife along the shores. The cruise to Tyniec takes around 1.5 hours each way, giving you time to unwind and take photos of the natural surroundings. Upon arrival, visit the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec during a guided tour. Learn about nearly a thousand years of monastic history, the daily life of the monks, and the spiritual importance of this site. Take time to explore the abbey courtyard, church, and terrace overlooking the river before heading back to the boat. On the return journey to Krakow, relax on deck and enjoy the serene atmosphere of the Vistula. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase on board, so you can enjoy light refreshments while admiring the scenery. This tour perfectly combines nature, culture, and history — offering a calm yet unforgettable way to experience Krakow from the water and discover one of its most beautiful surroundings.
