Poprad: Guided Tour to Krakow
Discover the historic charm of Krakow, the former capital of Poland, on a full-day tour from Poprad, featuring UNESCO-listed sites and medieval architecture.
Embark on a memorable exploration of Krakow, a city renowned for its extraordinary historical monuments and unique medieval architecture that remarkably survived World War II. Our journey from Poprad to Krakow begins with a convenient hotel pick-up, whisking you away to this majestic city that once served as the royal capital of Poland. As a testament to its cultural and historical significance, Krakow’s Old Town, along with its surroundings, was inscribed into UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1978.
Accompanied by a local professional English-speaking tour guide, you will traverse the narrow, cobbled streets of the Old Town following the Royal Route, a path that kings once walked. Marvel at the architectural wonders along the way, including the historic Slowacki Theatre and the esteemed buildings of Jagiellonian University, Poland’s oldest university. The journey leads you to the expansive Main Market Square, where you can admire the Renaissance splendor of the Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) and the Gothic beauty of St. Mary’s Basilica.
Another highlight of the tour is the visit to the magnificent Wawel Royal Castle, perched atop Wawel Hill beside the Vistula River, showcasing a mix of architectural styles from Gothic to Renaissance. After soaking in the sights and sounds of Krakow, you’ll have free time to explore further, shop for souvenirs, or enjoy a meal in one of the local restaurants before our English-speaking driver escorts you back to your hotel in Poprad.
