Overview

See all the wonderful secrets that the mighty Wawel Castle hides behind its walls with an experienced local guide. Enter the royal chambers like a noble, wander the corridors and crumbs, learning facts and curiosities from the life of Polish rulers. On this tour you also have entrance to the huge Wawel Cathedral where kings were crowned.
After your lunch break, explore Krakow's central square in Royal Krakow and do an in-depth look! At the beginning, look carefully at today's Main Market Square and then walk literally under the square and see what happened in the same place hundreds of years ago. Goods from all over the world were sold in crafts, and Kraków merchants made their fortunes, the city authorities closely monitored the order, the executioner tortured suspects in the dungeons of the Town Hall, and courtiers paraded across the square to get to the castle. Ah, what a time it was ...

    Wawel Royal Castle

    the heart of Krakow is the residence of Polish kings - the Wawel Royal Castle with its Gothic cathedral. Visiting this symbolic place, we will see a rich collection of paintings, prints, sculptures, fabrics, goldsmiths, militaria, porcelain and furniture, recreating the appearance of rooms from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. We will visit the Royal Chambers with the famous tapestries of Zygmunt August and wonderful Italian Renaissance paintings from the Lanckoroński collection. We will also enter the Wawel Cathedral and admire the Gothic structure that was once the sanctuary where Polish monarchs were crowned. All this, of course, will be colored by stories and curiosities from an experienced guide.

    Muzeum Krakowa - Rynek Podziemny

    The Krakow Undergrounds Museum on the Market Square, opened in 2010, is a kind of archaeological park where you can observe pictures of the life of a large, bustling medieval city. With the help of modern technology, the authors of the project created the ideal illusion of a lively medieval city. At a depth of several metres below the surface of the Main Market Square, from the Cloth Hall to St Mary’s Church, awaits a true treasure trove of information on Kraków’s past. In 4000-square-meters underground there are streets and stands of thousands years old, and there is atmosphere of the market square - you can hear merchants talking and carts creaking. Scales, coins, clothes, jeweleries and even human remains - all the artefacts were found during the excavations. Walk into the depths of Krakow on a 1.5-hour guided tour of Rynek Underground Museum accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide, and discover the medieval market stalls and the city’s rich history.
