This 8-hour tour is all you need to get to know Krakow. We'll start the day with a visit to Krakow’s most popular attraction and the world’s first World Heritage Site: the Wawel Royal Castle. With skip-the-line tickets you'll get in without waiting in long lines and admire the richly decorated State Rooms of the medieval residence of Polish kings. You will also skip the lines to the Wawel Cathedral, Poland's national sanctuary and former coronation site.

From Wawel Hill, you will follow the Royal Route to the Old Town, passing the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, St Andrew’s Church, and many historical palaces. Your Private Guide will share many interesting stories from the Middle Ages as you wander around the Market Square, admiring the Cloth Hall, Town Hall Tower and other medieval monuments. Like in the old days, you may hear the legendary St Mary’s Trumpet Call played from the towers of St. Mary’s Basilica (skip-the-line tickets are included).

After lunch break at a recommended local establishment, your Private Guide will take you to the courtyards of the Jagiellonian University, the world's 13th oldest continually operating university whose alumni includes the Renaissance polymath Nicolaus Copernicus. Later, you will have the opportunity to learn about the events of World War II and the Holocaust as you explore Kazimierz, the former Jewish Quarter. Here, you will walk through the famed Schindler’s passage and visit the Old Synagogue, which was the center of Kraków's Jewish community until WWII. The guide will also show you other Jewish heritage sites, such as the Tempel Synagogue, and give you recommendations on what to order from a local Jewish cafe.
