Hoogtepunten

Delve into Krakow's medieval past on this self guided audio tour, with tales of ancient kings and fire-breathing dragons, on this tour of the historic old town and castle. You’ll hear how Krakow was transformed into a royal city – and Poland’s capital until 1596 – after starting out as a humble merchant town. Our walk starts in the city’s medieval market square and ends just outside Wawel Castle, the first ever UNESCO World Heritage Site. (Krakow’s whole old town was the first city in Europe to be given UNESCO World Heritage status too.) Some of the highlights you can look forward to include: • The story of St. Mary's trumpeter • Krakow's legendary fire-breathing dragon • A walk around Wawel Castle and the Royal Palace which are open from 10am to 6pm • Stories about St. Mary's Basilica and the Wawel Cathedral • The Kraków Barbican, a medieval fortress • A short visit to the Bishop's Palace, the former home of Pope John II

About Krakau

Krakau, de voormalige koninklijke hoofdstad van Polen, heeft een prachtig bewaarde middeleeuwse oude stad, bekroond door het Wawelkasteel boven de Wisła.

Het Grote Marktplein, een van de grootste middeleeuwse pleinen van Europa, wordt omzoomd door burgerhuizen en heeft in het midden de Lakenhal met zijn arcaden. De Mariakerk rijst op aan een hoek, met een gesneden houten altaarstuk dat een gotisch meesterwerk is, en vanuit de toren klinkt dag en nacht een trompetsignaal.

Top-ranked sights in Krakau: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, Rynek Glowny (Main Market Square), Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli).
