Discover Krakow's Finest Treasures!

Anyone who has spent even a few days in Krakow knows how much the city has to offer; so much so that in fact most tourists leave the city with the majority of her treasures left undiscovered. There simply isn't enough time to cover them all!

Although Krakow's inexhaustible resources of relaxation and wonder are a godsend for the residents and expats of the city, the vast majority of visitors to Krakow simply do not have the luxury of staying the many months it would take to appreciate them all. If you're in town for only a weekend or so you certainly don't want to waste your time and energy visiting only the tourist traps. Sure there are some sights you simply have to see - the Wawel Castle and St. Mary's Basilica for starters - but after a while it should become obvious to you that this city loves the curious. You need to get off the beaten path and do some exploring if you want to make the most of Krakow! Don't know where to start? That's where these guys come in...

Krakow is chock full of tour providers. You can find everything from the big agency guys to the wacky local operator (much more interesting!). If you fancy a real 'out there' trip, for example, sign up for Communism Tours. You'll drive around Nowa Huta (Stalin's gift to Krakow) in a real East German Trabant - younger generations in particular are likely to find this much more exciting than your run-of-the-mill tour bus. Too much for you? Fine, tour the tried-and-tested Old Town and Jewish District, but do it with class: let an expert guide on the city take you around in a private group. Where can you find such a service? The friendly folk of Krakow Tours would love to help you out.

These are just a few suggestions. You might find that the most interesting spots are those immediately outside of Krakow, such as the Salt Mines at Wieliczka, Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Ojcow National Park or the mountain jewel of Zakopane. Of course, nothing beats simply wandering around aimlessly through the winding streets of the Old Town, but a little bit of variety never hurt anyone.
