Unveiling Wawel Cathedral’s secrets

Step into Krakow's royal tapestry at Wawel Cathedral, where whispers of kings linger in the air. Your expert guide will unravel the secrets etched in stone, from Gothic arches to Baroque swirls, revealing tales of coronations, weddings, and echoes of a glorious past. Be awed by the vast Zygmunt Bell, legend says that your wish comes true if you touch its clapper with your left hand. Climb the winding steps to the bell tower to see the city of Krakow unfold like a medieval map.

Step back in time at the Old Town

From Wawel's majesty, step into Old Town's vibrant embrace. Cobbled streets lined with colorful tales lead you back in time. At the heart of it all lies Rynek Główny, the Main Square, a kaleidoscope of life where street performers and artisans captivate the crowds. Be sure to look beneath your feet, too, as the square's Cloth Hall hides an underground museum showcasing Krakow's rich mercantile past. Then, visit St. Mary's Basilica, where you can see the Veit Stoss altarpiece. Sculpted from limewood and featuring over 200 intricately carved figures, it is a testament to Krakow's artistic soul.
