Kraków · Poland
5 Days / 4 Nights
The Main Market Square, Wawel and Kazimierz, the Wieliczka Salt Mine, and time to reflect on the city's 20th-century history.
Kraków was Poland's royal capital for centuries, and its Old Town, Wawel Hill and the historic Jewish district of Kazimierz together form one of Europe's richest historic centres.
The journey gives equal weight to celebration and remembrance: grand churches, café terraces and the underground chapels of Wieliczka, alongside the history of wartime Podgórze and, in higher tiers, a guided visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial.
Transfer to your hotel and an evening on the Main Market Square, with the hourly trumpet call from the tower of St Mary's.
From the Florian Gate to the Cloth Hall and St Mary's Basilica with its carved altarpiece, then up to Wawel Castle and Cathedral.
The synagogues and squares of Kazimierz, then across the river to Podgórze and the Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory museum.
A guided descent into the Wieliczka Salt Mine, with its chambers and chapels carved from salt; a free evening back in the city.
A last walk along the Planty park ring, then transfer to the airport.
Comfortable shoes are essential, and the salt mine tour involves several hundred steps. Poland is in the EU and Schengen but uses the złoty, not the euro; cards are widely accepted. Non-EU visitors should check current requirements, including EES and ETIAS.
Visits are by timed, guided entry and take about three and a half hours on site, plus around 90 minutes each way by road. The memorial does not recommend visits for children under 14.
