Your Experience
Your journey in Krakow will take you on an memorable exploration of its castles and cathedrals. Begin with a guided tour that offers an archaeological, architectural, and artistic experience starting at Wawel Castle. This historic site was once the residence of Polish kings and is now home to a museum showcasing remarkable paintings by Roger van der Wayden, known for his detailed artistry. Marvel at works by Quentin Massys, Ambrosius Benson, and Bartholomaeus Spranger, celebrated for their Gothic and Renaissance styles.
After immersing yourself in the castle's grandeur, your next stop is the Wawel Cathedral. This nearly 1000-year-old cathedral holds significant historical value as it contains the tombs of Polish kings beneath its crypts, making it a sacred site for locals.
