Activity itinerary

Krakow

Sailing on a catamaran on the Vistula River on a small two-way cruise, you will get to know Krakow's monuments, visible from the side of the river. Admire all the most important places in Krakow from the Vistula River. See Krakow from a new perspective as you follow the flow of the queen of Polish rivers.

Kosciuszko's Mound (Kopiec Kosciuszki) (Pass by)

The Kościuszko Mound in Krakow is one of the five mounds located in Krakow. It was erected in honour of Tadeusz Kościuszko - a great patriot and leader of the national uprising

Monastery of the Norbertan Sisters (Pass by)

Fortified like a castle, this mighty monastery, founded in the 12th century, was destroyed and rebuilt several times. The most important Krakow traditions are also associated with it: here, on Monday after Easter, the annual Emmaus festival is celebrated. Hence, the Lajkonik procession - the most important symbol of Krakow - sets off every June.

Wawel Royal Castle (Pass by)

The limestone hill rising above the Vistula River is the former centre of power, the legendary (associated with the mythical founder of Krakow and his descendants) and historical: princely, episcopal and royal. Wawel is a complex of castle and sacred buildings - a symbol of the city, but most of all a museum presenting the most valuable monuments of Polish material culture. Take a good look and you will also notice the silhouette of the famous Wawel dragon breathing fire towards onlookers

Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology (Pass by)

The original, modern form of the building housing the museum of art and technology is perfectly seen from the river level. The wavy line of its roof is to refer directly to the waves of the Vistula River.

Church on the Rock (Kosciol na Skalce) (Pass by)

The baroque church of Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Stanislaus on Skałka rises above the boulevards, right on the Vistula River, on a small hill made of white Jurassic limestones. The basilica is also a national pantheon (many distinguished painters, musicians and poets are buried here) and a library with priceless documents, books and incunabula.

Kazmierz The Former Jewish District (Pass by)

Once independent, the city situated south of Wawel was the hub of Jewish life in Kraków for centuries, and today it is one of the greatest tourist attractions of the city.

Szeroka Street (Pass by)

Szeroka Street is the heart of Jewish Kazimierz. Let a testimony to its significance be the fact that four synagogues used to stand on the street, which was unheard of anywhere else in Europe.

Muzeum Krakowa - Stara Synagoga (Pass by)

Standing on Szeroka Street Street, known not only as the stage of the final concert of the Jewish Culture Festival but also as the centuries-old centre of Jewish life in Kazimierz, is one of the oldest synagogues in Poland preserved in such a good condition.

Ghetto Wall Fragment (Pass by)

See a small fragment of the original wall around the former ghetto, preserved to our times, with a plaque commemorating the fate of the inhabitants

The Ghetto Heroes Square (Pass by)

Situated in the Podgórze district, which in 1941 was turned into the Krakow Ghetto, the former Plac Zgody [Concord Square] was designated 'Umschlagplatz' under the Nazi occupation, the place where the Jews had to congregate to be deported.
