Service Description

Located in southern Poland along the Vistula River, Krakow sits at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. The city experiences a continental climate with warm summers averaging 73°F (23°C) and cold winters around 30°F (-1°C). As Poland's former royal capital for over 500 years and one of Europe's oldest cities, Krakow escaped major destruction during World War II, preserving its magnificent medieval core and Renaissance architecture. The historic center, including Wawel Royal Hill, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stands as the spiritual and cultural heart of the Polish nation. Discover Wawel Royal Hill, the most important historic sight in all of Poland, where legend, royalty, and national heritage converge on a limestone outcrop overlooking the Vistula River. Our journey begins with the legendary tale of the Dragon of Krakow and a visit to the fire-breathing dragon statue that guards the hill, a beloved symbol that blends myth with history. We'll climb to the magnificent castle grounds, which served as the seat of Polish kings for approximately 500 years and evolved through the centuries. You'll see defensive walls dating from the 1100s alongside the elegant Renaissance castle courtyard from the 1500s, witnessing how this royal residence grew from a medieval fortress into a stunning palatial complex. Throughout the tour, we'll engage with fascinating stories of Polish royalty, tales of powerful kings, political intrigue, royal weddings, and the pivotal moments that shaped Poland's destiny. You'll explore the exterior of the Royal Cathedral, the sacred site where Polish monarchs were crowned and laid to rest, and where national heroes are honored. This Gothic masterpiece with its golden-domed Sigismund Chapel represents the spiritual soul of Poland. Experience the place where Poland's history comes alive, from dragon legends to royal splendor on the hill that defines a nation. $79 for each additional screen (does not apply to corporate customers.) * This tour is not designed for our corporate customers.
