Description
Krakow is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Central Europe, the cradle of Polish culture. The city has long attracted people as the country's former capital and seat of Polish Kings. We will begin your tour by visiting the bustling heart of the city - Main Market Square renowned for St. Mary's Basilica with the stunning medieval altar sculpted made by Veit Stoss and the Cloth Hall, which has been the local market place for centuries, ending at the spectacular Wawel Hill, which is the embodiment of Poland's former monarchical glory. At a short distance from Krakow we will explore the amazing underground world of Wieliczka Salt Mine. The tourist route leads through the underground chambers, chapels, caverns and caves, where you can learn the details of the history of salt mining. You will visit the largest of the chapels dedicated to St Kinga. This subterranean church is richly decorated with chandeliers, sculptures, and religious figures carved out of salt.
