Traditionally, a sightseeing tour of Krakow starts from the Market Square or Matejko Square, where the Royal Road begins. In the area around these squares, you can find several historical monuments, such as St. Florian's Church and the Academy of Fine Arts.
Typically, excursions also include visits to Jagiellonian University (the oldest university in Poland) and the National Museum.
A bus tour is advisable if you plan to venture beyond the Old Town area or if you want to explore the attractions in the outskirts of the city. Among the popular destinations are the salt mines in Wieliczka, the thermal pools in Zakopane, and, of course, the deeply impactful excursions to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Upon your request, a guide in Krakow can offer themed tours, including visits to specific museums or renowned restaurants serving Polish cuisine.
The cost of a tour in Krakow varies depending on the route, duration, and level of comfort, ranging from 215-260 PLN for a 2-4-hour walking tour in the city center (per group) to 1000 PLN for a trip to the outskirts of the city in a comfortable vehicle.
