10 Multi-day Tours in Krakow That You Shouldn't Miss
Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

Situated locally, bike trip is definitely the best place to pick up road or mountain bikes in Kraków. Admittedly not known for its cycling, this shop had more city bikes and a very limited selection of specialist road or mountain bikes. On arriving the bikes we requested were prepped but there was a misunderstanding about what gear specifically they had -pedal type- and we didn’t receive exactly what was hoped. As a consequence we received a substantial discount and they tried their best to help us! They even let us hold onto them for longer at short notice as they weren’t hired the following day. *If you’re a keen MTB, gravel or road biker, definitely need to bring your own pedals, and roadside repair gear/ tubes as there’s also no insurance or pick up. You may not find your perfect frame size so definitely clarify before but the bikes are good quality & well maintained* All in all would recommend for cyclists and keen cycling tourists visiting this picturesque city. Our top tips for cycling were Tyniec and Ojcowski Park Narodowy, however the latter warrants more of a gravel bike.

That was a really good trip. We were picked up from our hotel. Our driver explained us everything and was waiting for us in the car to drive us to Birkenau and after to our hotel. Guide was a real professional and he anwsered all our questions. We used Krakow Direct and it was superb. Remember to get some snacks or lunch as the tour is really exhausting and there is no time to seat & eat.

I loved this walking tour! My mother and I went last December after a long cold day of exploration. We met up with a wonderful group of people and had lots of fun that night with our guide and fellow travelers. The food was wonderful and afterwards I felt like I had learned a lot about Polish culture. This experience was really one to remember!

Really disappointed, doesn’t take you past anything, tape runs out of sink with journey and you really have to use your imagination to workout what it’s talking about as it’s definitely not always obvious. Seriously not worth the money, next time I’d do a scooter or Segway tour.

It had been 25 years since we had seen the beautiful Medevil Krakow Square in the Old City. It’s charm was still there and even enhanced. I felt like we were in a little “Prague” and the European charm of that famous city. There were beautifully dressed horses and decorated carriages to take one a romantic ride around the massive square. Vendors from all over the region were assembled in charming booths selling their hand crafts and wares. Chestnuts were roasting and brats and kielbasa sausages were being grilled along with mulled wine being served and the aroma was just enticing. All the stores and street lights were festivally lit to give such an enchanting atmosphere. Dress warmly. It was 24 degree Fahrenheit. The next day we took the bus to the salt mines. It is an all day affair and extremely interesting just factually and historically. I would not miss this tour or do it on your own. It is very much worth it. The palace is also worth the time. The lines were not too long considering the Christmas Markets were in town. Krakow is very charming. It was not bombed during WWII and so all the buildings are original. The town was used for the Nazi headquarters during the war. It is a great town to travel to other areas to explore by bus or train. Poland is extremely friendly to Americans. They are fun. Love to sing and dance and quite welcoming.
