Traditionally, a sightseeing tour of Kraków begins at the Main Market Square or Matejko Square, where the Royal Route starts. In this area, you’ll find several historical landmarks, including the Church of St. Florian and the Academy of Fine Arts.
Tours in Kraków usually include Jagiellonian University (the oldest institution of higher education in Poland) and the National Museum.
This option is especially worthwhile if you plan to explore beyond the borders of the Old Town district or wish to discover some of the attractions in the surrounding area. Among the most popular destinations are the salt mines of Wieliczka, the thermal pools in Zakopane, and of course, the deeply moving tours of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
At your request, a guide in Kraków can offer themed tours — for example, with visits to specific museums or well-known Polish cuisine restaurants.
The cost of a tour in Kraków varies depending on the route, duration, and level of comfort: from 180–250 PLN for a 2–4-hour group walking tour in the city center to 600–800 PLN for a comfortable car trip to the surrounding areas.
