• Wawel Royal Castle - Join the guide to embark on an exploration of monarchy, faith, and art. Enter the Royal Castle, which was converted into a significant Polish museum in 1930. Explore the magnificent rooms adorned with Renaissance and Baroque decor, paintings, sculptures, porcelain, and military relics. Admire treasures like the Flemish tapestries commissioned by King Sigismund II Augustus and Italian Renaissance pieces from the Lanckoroński collection. Discover Wawel’s exceptional Eastern art collection, featuring the largest array of Ottoman tents in Europe.

• Wawel Cathedral - A key highlight is the Wawel Cathedral, a Gothic marvel that has hosted the coronations, weddings, and funerals of Polish royalty. Visit chapels and altars, then ascend the tower to view the impressive Sigismund Bell—legend has it that touching it brings fortune. Finally, descend into the crypts where kings, queens, poets, and national heroes are laid to rest, as the guide narrates tales of power, devotion, and legacy.

• Muzeum Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego Collegium Maius - As you wander through the historic streets, pause at the Collegium Maius, the oldest building of the Jagiellonian University. Established in 1364, this university has educated many scholars, including the renowned astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In the serene courtyard, the guide explains how this institution became a beacon of learning in Central Europe and continues to play a vital role in Kraków’s identity.

• Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) - Just a short walk away is the lively Main Market Square, the largest medieval square in Europe. Here, history comes alive: horse-drawn carriages pass by elegant townhouses, street performers uphold age-old traditions, and the square is dominated by the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice). Once a thriving hub of international trade, it linked Kraków to distant markets, where merchants traded in salt, textiles, furs, and amber. Today, the guide highlights its Renaissance arcade and shares how the Cloth Hall has remained a marketplace through the ages, embodying the city’s commercial spirit.

• St Mary’s Basilica - The tour’s highlight is entry to St. Mary’s Basilica, with its two asymmetrical towers gracing the skyline. Inside lies one of Gothic Europe’s great treasures: the stunning Veit Stoss altarpiece, crafted in the 15th century. With its monumental figures and dramatic scenes, it vividly depicts biblical stories in remarkable detail and color. The guide explains how it has endured centuries of challenges, from fires to wars, and why it remains a powerful symbol of Kraków’s devotion and artistry. The richly painted vaults, stained glass windows, and chapels enhance the unforgettable experience of entering a living masterpiece of sacred art.
