If you’d like to know Polish history in a nutshell - this tour is a must for you. The Old Town and the Main Market Square are one of Kraków’s most iconic sights and are unmissable. Experience Polish culture at its finest and transport yourself into a medieval fairytale surrounded by sights. Soon enough, you’ll see why this incredible market is one of the few UNESCO World Heritage sites in Poland.

Almost 500 years ago, Kraków was one of the most developed and richest cities in Europe. Luckily enough, most of it remained unharmed during the second world war - even after most of the country was destroyed. Stroll by the oldest university in Poland and one of the oldest university buildings in the world still in operation, and one of the oldest souvenir shops. You will also get to go inside St. Mary’s Church and marvel at the architectural wonder of its interiors as well.
