Very impressive and a most interesting history of Krakow. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the use of ear phones meant we could easily hear even if we were a little way away.

It was foggy from the morning. Although it did not reach the historical pavement, it covered the ends of the towers of all tall buildings. The town hall was without a tip, Wawel had towers ending in a straight cut, Kościuszko's mound disappeared at the second ring road, only part of St. Joseph's Church was visible, but electric scooters shone brightly down on the pavement. Despite this, Helena Rubinstein stood in the doorway in a white blouse. You could say that the day was chilly and walking around the city of Krakow is not the best idea. However, jumping on the WOW Bus, hiding from nature for a while in a bad mood, is something else. After a few hundred meters, jump out, find a route to a convenient stop and jump on again. This is the way to experience Krakow!
