About

The Old Town offers a unique atmosphere with thousands of bars and delightful regional restaurants, many historic buildings and horse-driven cabs. The main point of the Old Town is the iconic Main Market Square – a Unesco World Heritage site. It is the biggest medieval old town square in Europe and is considered the most beautiful market square in Poland. The tour includes all the must-sees in the Old Town area: the Town Hall Tower, St. Mary’s Basilica, Krakow Barbican and Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) – Renaissance main centre of international trade.

You will have an opportunity to discover the extraordinary history of the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Every year more than 1 million tourists visit the mine – not without a reason. It was built in the 13th century and produced table salt continuously until 1996. The mine reaches a depth of 327 meters. It is so deep that it would easily fit the Eiffel Tower. Under the ground level you will find saline corridors, salt sculptures and statues, spectacular timber constructions, saline lakes and magnificent chambers chiselled out in rock salt.

This is partially self-guided tour which starts in Warsaw. Your train departs from Warszawa Centralna (Main Station) and you need to reach it from the hotel on your own (transfer by taxi is available at extra charge, see possible supplements below).After 2,5-3 hour journey by train our local guide will take you for a tour around Krakow. Then you will join a tour by minibus to Wieliczka Salt Mine. Once you return to Krakow, there is some free time to dine out. Afterwards, you will take fast train and come back to Warsaw around midnight. The order of sightseeing may change.
