About:

Learn about Krakow through the best local restaurants and bars on this walking tour of traditional Polish food and historical monuments. After all, the best way to understand how to live like a local is to eat like a local!

Get your first taste of Polish cuisine and local beer over a discussion on Polish gastronomy in Small Market Square. From there we walk throught the vibrant historical heart of Krakow, to visit another fabulous hidden gem for a taste of soup so good they hold an annual festival for it.

Get your cameras out as we walk along Royal Way and catch the best panoramic view of the Royal Castle and Cathedral. Our Krakow food tour continues with an education in a national culinary treasure – pierogi!

With our belly full of Polish delicacies, we’ll walk through Kazimierz – formerly the Jewish quarter, a neighborhood that has blossomed into a buzzing Bohemian mecca of unique restaurants, bars, and shops. We revisit the district’s roots with a taste of the local Jewish cuisine, a shot of Bison vodka, and a listen to the live music that spills out of every restaurant on the main street.

At the end of our Krakow tour, you’ll probably be pretty tempted to stick around Kazimierz, but you’re also welcome to walk back to the city center with us. Regardless, be sure to ask your local guide for a rundown of the best-hidden haunts to spend the rest of a magical evening in Krakow.

Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour

We visit only locally-owned bars, restaurants, and food vendors that are off the main tourist trail, ensuring that they benefit from tourism in their cities.
Any leftover food not consumed on the tour is donated to the charity organization to be redistributed to the homeless.
