About this activity

When in Krakow, it is worth going to the monastery on Jasna Góra.

This is one of the most important places of worship of the Virgin Mary and has been the most important pilgrimage centre in Poland for hundreds of years. The miraculous image of the Black Madonna from Jasna Góra is especially worshipped by the faithful of the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Catholic Church.

The visit to the old Pauline Monastery is a unique opportunity to learn about the everyday lives of monks, to see the beauty of medieval monastery buildings and fortification walls, and admire the baroque basilica. In the end of the day we will drop you off at the departure point chosen by you.
