• Wawel Royal Castle - Join your guide to embark on an exploration of monarchy, faith, and art. Enter the Royal Castle, which was converted into a significant Polish museum in 1930. Explore the magnificent chambers adorned with Renaissance and Baroque interiors, paintings, sculptures, porcelain, and military artifacts. Admire treasures like the Flemish tapestries commissioned by King Sigismund II Augustus and Italian Renaissance masterpieces from the Lanckoroński collection. Additionally, discover Wawel’s unique collection of Eastern art, featuring the largest collection of Ottoman tents in Europe.
• Wawel Cathedral - The centerpiece of your visit is the Wawel Cathedral, a Gothic marvel that has hosted the coronations, weddings, and funerals of Polish monarchs. Explore chapels and altars, then ascend the tower to view the impressive Sigismund Bell—legend has it that touching it brings good fortune. Finally, descend into the crypts where kings, queens, poets, and national heroes are laid to rest, as your guide shares tales of power, devotion, and legacy.
• Jagiellonian University Museum Collegium Maius - As you wander along the historic streets, pause at the Collegium Maius, the oldest building of the Jagiellonian University. Established in 1364, this university has educated generations of scholars, including the renowned astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In the tranquil courtyard, your guide explains how this institution became a beacon of learning in Central Europe and continues to play a vital role in Kraków’s identity.
• Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) - Just a few steps away is the lively Main Market Square, the largest medieval square in Europe. Here, history comes alive: horse-drawn carriages pass by elegant townhouses, street performers uphold age-old traditions, and the heart of the square is dominated by the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice). Once a bustling hub of international trade, it connected Kraków to distant markets, where merchants traded in salt, textiles, furs, and amber. Today, your guide highlights its Renaissance arcade and explains how the Cloth Hall has remained a marketplace through the centuries, embodying the city’s commercial spirit.
• St Mary’s Basilica - A highlight of the tour is entry to St. Mary’s Basilica, with its two asymmetrical towers dominating the skyline. Inside lies one of the great treasures of Gothic Europe: the stunning Veit Stoss altarpiece, carved in the 15th century. With its monumental figures and dramatic scenes, it vividly depicts biblical stories in remarkable detail and color. Your guide explains how it survived centuries of turmoil, from fires to wars, and why it remains a powerful symbol of Kraków’s devotion and artistry. The richly painted vaults, stained glass windows, and chapels enhance the unforgettable experience of stepping into a living masterpiece of sacred art.

Highlights include reconstructions of 11th-century burials, traces of ancient streets, and unique artifacts that illustrate Kraków’s role as a thriving trade hub.
