Your day begins at the Wroclaw Main Railway Station, where you will depart on a modern fast train for a comfortable ride toward the heart of Lesser Poland.
Upon pulling into the historic station in Krakow, you will be greeted by a professional local guide ready to lead you through a city that miraculously escaped the destruction of World War II. Your exploration follows the prestigious Royal Route, a path once trodden by monarchs, leading you past the architectural elegance of the Slowacki Theatre and the hallowed halls of the Jagiellonian University, where luminaries like Nicolaus Copernicus once studied. As you step into the Main Market Square, the sheer scale of the largest medieval plaza in Europe will take your breath away. Here, the iconic Cloth Hall stands as a testament to centuries of trade, while the trumpeter’s signal echoes from the towers of St. Mary’s Church. Inside the basilica, you can witness the intricate beauty of the Veit Stoss altarpiece, a Gothic masterpiece of unparalleled detail. The guided portion of your day culminates atop Wawel Hill.
After the formal tour, the city is yours to discover. With four hours of free time, you can follow your guide's insider recommendations to find a cozy cellar restaurant for a traditional lunch, hunt for unique amber jewelry, or wander the bohemian alleys of the nearby Kazimierz district.

About Wrocław
Wrocław is the historic capital of Lower Silesia in Poland, a city of islands and bridges on the Oder with a vast market square and little bronze dwarfs.
Wrocław is spread across islands and channels of the Oder river, joined by a tangle of bridges, and it was known as Breslau when it belonged to Germany until 1945. The Market Square is one of the largest in Europe, ringed by coloured gabled houses and dominated by the Gothic Old Town Hall. Ostrów Tumski, the Cathedral Island and the oldest part of the city, still has gas lamps.
Top-ranked sights in Wrocław: Wroclaw Market Square (Rynek of Wrocaw), Panorama Raclawicka.
