- Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) - It is the central feature of the main market square in the Kraków Old Town.
- Wawel Royal Castle - The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill constitute the most historically and culturally important site in Poland.

- Ulica Florianska - One of the main streets in Kraków Old Town and one of the most famous promenades in the city.
- Church of St. Peter and St. Paul - The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is the first structure in Kraków designed entirely in the Baroque style, and perhaps the first Baroque building in present-day Poland.
- Muzeum Krakowa - Rynek Podziemny - The Museum is situated below the market square of the city and has an area of over 6000 square meters.
- Ulica Grodzka - One of the most well known streets in Krakow
- Krakow’s Rynek Glowny Central Square - The Center of Krakow’s Old Town
- Church of St. Adalbert - Located on the intersection of the Main Market Square and Grodzka Street in Old Town, Kraków, is one of the oldest stone churches in Poland.
- Wyspianski Pavilion - In the late 1990s, Andrzej Wajda was one of the originators of a modern exhibition and information pavilion at Wszystkich Świętych Square; on his initiative, the building was fitted with stained-glass windows made following Stanisław Wyspiański’s projects.
- Church of St. Andrew (Kosciol Swietogo Andrzeja) - A historical Romanesque church built between 1079 and 1098 by a medieval Polish statesman Palatine Sieciech. It is a rare surviving example of the European fortress church used for defensive purposes.

The Tower is the only remaining part of the old Kraków Town Hall demolished in 1820 as part of the city plan to open up the Main Square. Its cellars once housed a city prison with a Medieval torture chamber.
- Wawel Cathedral - Roman Catholic church and the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Kraków, located on Wawel Hill in Kraków, Poland. More than 900 years old, it is the Polish national sanctuary and traditionally has served as the coronation site of the Polish monarchs.

        Excellent guide. - Victor was a fabulous guide. His English was really excellent and he was incredibly knowledgeable. The two hours whizzed by in a flash but we really got a taste of the history of Poznan and Poland in general.  Highly recommended.  The recommendation print out and sweets were a nice touch too. Thank you.

        Nicely done tour - Magda did a very nice job leading us around Krakow Old Town and sharing her extensive knowledge of the city, culture and history.  It was quite warm, and we are not youngsters so we opted to conclude the tour at the base of Wawel Castle rather than hiking up.

        Fast paced walk - A very fast paced 3 hour tour. Do not expect to sit with this guide...even when seating was available close by stop. Suggest starting tour with the hill while fresh...may need to cut portion to allow stopping (maybe park area). Also offer WC option periodically. 
Guide was knowledgeable.
