Kraków, one visit at a time.
Which salt-mine tour skips the queue. Where to stand in the Rynek at dawn. Which Zakopane day actually reaches the peaks. Every Kraków tour, reviewed and rated.
The Kraków every first visit is built around.
The royal hill, the great square, the mine that goes down and down, the mountains an hour south. The handful of days most trips are planned around — and the best tour for each.
The Old Town is one enormous open-air room.

The Rynek Główny is the biggest medieval market square in Europe, the Cloth Hall running down its middle, St Mary’s trumpeter breaking off mid-note on the hour. Start here — then pick how you want to cover the ground.

The walking tour
A local guide from the Barbican through the Rynek to Wawel Hill, with the stories the plaques leave out.
The easy loop
An eco-buggy takes in the Old Town and Kazimierz without the walking — the pick when time or legs are short.
The segway glide
A gliding loop of the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter once you have the balance — quick, and genuinely good fun.
Zakopane and the Tatras, an hour and a world away.
Poland’s highest peaks, timber highland villages, thermal pools that steam under the snow. The trips below pair the cable car up Gubałówka with hot springs and a highlander cheese tasting on the road home.
Wieliczka: a cathedral carved out of salt.
Nine hundred years of mining left chandeliers, altarpieces and a whole chapel cut from rock salt, 135 metres beneath the surface. Skip-the-line entry and transport from Kraków are the difference between an easy morning and a two-hour queue.

Pierogi first. Everything else after.
Dumplings folded by hand, obwarzanki off the street carts, zapiekanka in Kazimierz, and vodka flights that arrive with a lesson. Kraków eats well and cheap — these are the tours that find the good tables.

Kraków is also a place of memory.
An hour west lies Auschwitz-Birkenau. In the city stand Oskar Schindler’s factory, the wartime ghetto and the old Jewish quarter of Kazimierz, and the planned socialist town of Nowa Huta. These are visits made with care — reviewed here plainly, so you can choose a guide and give them the time they deserve.
Kraków, by what it costs.
Every Kraków tour, sorted by what it actually costs. A great day in the city can start at the price of lunch.
Old Town walks, the salt-mine ticket, an hour on the river, a vodka flight — the everyday best of the city.

The classic guided days: Wieliczka with transfers, the mountains, the long food tours.
Private guides, chartered cars and the once-a-trip days out that earn the price.
Kraków slows right down on the water.

When the rain sets in, Kraków goes underground.
Kraków does grey, wet afternoons — and answers them better than most. Go down the salt mine, into the Rynek Underground, along a museum, or sit down to pierogi and a vodka flight. None of it cares what the sky is doing.
