Krakow: Guided Wawel Tour, Lunch, and Vistula River Walk

The Wawel Hill is for Krakow what the Acropolis is for ancient Athens or the Capitol is for Rome. The rocky hill towering over the bank of the Vistula has been the seat of secular and church authorities for centuries, and today it is the most visited and one of the most important museums in Poland. It collects collections of paintings, graphics, sculptures, fabrics, goldsmiths, militaria, porcelain and furniture. In the former royal chambers there are the famous tapestries of Zygmunt August and wonderful Italian Renaissance paintings from the Lanckoroński family collection, and the Wawel collections of eastern art contain the most important and largest collection of tents in Europe. The permanent exhibitions in the chateau recreate the appearance of the rooms from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. See all of these great things with an experienced local guide.

After seeing the original royal chambers, entering the majestic Cathedral and learning about the most interesting historical facts intertwined with fairy-tale stories, we will invite you to dinner at a nearby cafe and take a moment to breathe.

Finally, you will board a modern catamaran to take an intimate cruise on the queen of Polish rivers - the Vistula, and be able to admire Wawel, the Cathedral and a little of Krakow scattered on its shores from this side.
