If you select the Old Town, you will walk through the historic heart of Krakow, admiring its most important landmarks such as St. Mary’s Basilica, the Cloth Hall, the Barbican, and the Florian Gate. Beyond the well-known sights, the guide will also introduce you to quieter streets and hidden corners that reveal how the city developed over the centuries.

Choosing Kazimierz, the former Jewish district, offers a different perspective on Krakow’s past. This area is known for its distinctive atmosphere, shaped by centuries of Jewish heritage.

FAQ

This is a walking tour led by a licensed city guide. When booking, you choose one district – either Krakow’s Old Town or Kazimierz – and the tour focuses entirely on the selected area.

The Old Town tour explores Krakow’s historic centre, including landmarks such as St. Mary’s Basilica, the Cloth Hall, the Barbican, and Florian’s Gate, as well as quieter streets and lesser-known spots. The Kazimierz tour focuses on the former Jewish district, known for its unique atmosphere, historic synagogues, and places connected with Jewish culture, traditions, and everyday life.

Both group tours and a private option are available. Group tours follow a standard programme covering the main highlights of the chosen district. Private tours offer a more flexible experience, with the guide adjusting the pace and spending more time answering questions.

The price includes a walking tour with a licensed guide and one entrance ticket to an interior attraction – either St. Mary’s Basilica (Old Town) or the Old Synagogue (Kazimierz), depending on the selected district and option. Food and drinks are not included.
