  • Admission ticket included
The tour starts with a guided visit to the Museum of the Family Home of Saint John Paul II (with a professional guide or an audio guide available), where you can explore his early life and heritage. This is followed by a walk through the charming historic old town of Wadowice. The experience also includes a relaxing coffee break and a taste of the famous “papal cream cake” (kremówka) — the traditional dessert that was one of Pope John Paul II’s favourite treats from his hometown.

Minor Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

At 12:00, you will take part in a 45-minute Holy Mass in Polish at the Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Bazylika Ofiarowania Najświętszej Maryi Panny) in Wadowice’s main market square, followed by a short visit to the church.

Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Santuario

  • 1h
Visit to the Sanctuary of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, a UNESCO-listed pilgrimage site and one of the most important religious centres in Poland. This unique complex of monasteries, chapels, and devotional paths held a very special place in the life of Saint John Paul II, who visited it frequently in his youth and often returned there in prayer and reflection. During the visit, you can expect a peaceful walk through the scenic grounds, admire the historic architecture, and experience the spiritual atmosphere of one of Poland’s most significant pilgrimage destinations.

Sanctuary of Divine Mercy

  • 1h 30m
A visit to the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Łagiewniki, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Kraków and a global centre of devotion to Divine Mercy, associated with Saint Faustina Kowalska. This is a place of prayer, reflection, and spiritual significance for visitors from all over the world. Next to the sanctuary is the Church of Saint John Paul II, part of the “Have No Fear!” Centre, dedicated to the life and legacy of Pope John Paul II. The modern basilica and surrounding complex offer a space for prayer, learning, and remembrance of his message and teachings. The Centre also houses a unique and deeply significant relic — the garment worn by Pope John Paul II during the assassination attempt in 1981.
