Overview

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, sculptures, fabrics, militaria and furniture. The permanent exhibitions in the castle recreate the appearance of the rooms from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
After seeing with an experienced local guide 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 lunch 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.

Activity itinerary

Wawel Royal Castle
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
The residence of Polish kings and a symbol of statehood, and today also one of the most important museums in Poland. It collects paintings, graphics, sculptures, fabrics, goldsmiths, militaria, porcelain and furniture. The chambers contain the famous tapestries of Sigismund Augustus and wonderful Italian Renaissance paintings. The permanent exhibitions recreate the appearance of the rooms from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. For centuries, kings have been crowned in the cathedral and its vaults are home to distinguished secular and religious activists, eminent poets and painters.
Vistula River
  • 1h
Sailing on a catamaran on the Vistula River on a small two-way cruise, you will get to know Krakow's monuments, visible from the side of the river. Admire all the most important places in Krakow from the Vistula River. See Krakow from a new perspective as you follow the flow of the queen of Polish rivers.
Kosciuszko's Mound (Kopiec Kosciuszki) (Pass by)
The Kościuszko Mound in Krakow, one of the five mounds located in Krakow, was erected in honour of Tadeusz Kościuszko - a great patriot and leader of the national uprising.
Monastery of the Norbertan Sisters (Pass by)
Fortified like a castle, this mighty monastery, founded in the 12th century, was destroyed and rebuilt several times. The most important Krakow traditions are also associated with it: here, on Monday after Easter, the annual Emmaus festival is celebrated. Hence, the Lajkonik procession - the most important symbol of Krakow - sets off every June.
Wawel Royal Castle (Pass by)
The limestone hill rising above the Vistula River is the former centre of power, the legendary (associated with the mythical founder of Krakow and his descendants) and historical: princely, episcopal and royal. Wawel is a complex of castle and sacred buildings - a symbol of the city, but most of all a museum presenting the most valuable monuments of Polish material culture. Take a good look and you will also notice the silhouette of the famous Wawel dragon breathing fire towards onlookers.
Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology (Pass by)
The original, modern form of the building housing the museum of art and technology is perfectly seen from the river level. The wavy line of its roof is to refer directly to the waves of the Vistula River.
Church on the Rock (Kosciol na Skalce) (Pass by)
The baroque church of Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Stanislaus on Skałka rises above the boulevards, right on the Vistula River, on a small hill made of white Jurassic limestones. The basilica is also a national pantheon (many distinguished painters, musicians and poets are buried here) and a library with priceless documents, books and incunabula.
