Overview
Krakow is the cultural capital of Poland with its Old Town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On this sightseeing tour, visit the Barbican and Florian’s Gate, one of the few remains of the Krakow's medieval fortification that surrounded the city. The old wall by Florian’s Gate is also where artists display their paintings - an open air gallery of sorts.
Visit the Sukiennice Cloth Hall, one of the city's most recognisable icons. It was once a major centre of international trade. During its golden age in the 15th century, it was the source of a variety of exotic imports from the East – spices, silk, leather and wax.
Visit the Jagiellonian University, first founded in 1364. It has been an integral part of Krakow for more than 600 years.
Discover the cultural and historic landmarks of Krakow on this tour.
