Overview
Just arrived in Krakow? Start here.
Join me for a history 2-hour walk through Krakow’s historic heart, from the medieval Old Town to Wawel Hill - the best introduction to the city for first-time visitors.
We’ll explore Krakow’s most important landmarks and uncover the stories behind them: the Main Market Square, St. Mary’s Basilica, the Cloth Hall, the old university quarter, the Royal Route and Wawel Hill. Along the way, you’ll learn how Krakow grew from a medieval town into one of Poland’s most important cities, hear stories about kings, merchants, students and ordinary Krakowians, and discover some of the legends and curious details that are easy to miss when exploring on your own.
But this tour is not just about dates and monuments. We’ll also talk about Krakow today - local customs, Polish culture, food, everyday life and the little things that will help you understand the city better during your stay.
By the end of the tour, you’ll have a good overview of Krakow’s history and its most important sights, a few stories to remember, and plenty of ideas for what to see, eat and do next.
Please note that free-of-charge booking on FreeTour.com is mandatory for this tour.
