Itinerary

Stare Miasto

2 hours

You will walk the road of the Kings from the Church of St. Florian, through the Florian Gate, along Florian Street to Wawel Hill, the place where their coronation took place. We will make a stop at the main square of Krakow - Rynek Glowny. Here we will meet with the delightful St. Mary's Church and the sounds of “hejnal” played by a trumpeter.
Wawel Royal Castle

30 min

You will visit Wawel Hill, which is the center of Polish identity. It is called the Polish acropolis and the Polish necropolis. It is here that many great people of Poland are buried - kings, country leaders, poets and generals. You will see the bright, beautiful courtyard of the Royal Castle. And not only.
Podgorze

30 min

We will walk through the territory of the city, which during the Second World War was a ghetto for the Jews of Krakow. The buildings of those times have been preserved here - the Employment Office, the Children's Shelter, the Hospital, and the Mutual Aid Fund. You will find out why the owner of the "Apteka pod Orlom" after the war was given the name of the Righteous Among the Nations. And what do the empty iron chairs on the Ghetto Heroes Square symbolize.
Stop 4

one hour

You will hear the history of Jewish life in Poland and Krakow while walking along the cozy streets of the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz. We take a look into the courtyards where the filming of the film "Schindler's List" took place.
