Trip Overview:
This 5-day Polish vacation introduces you to the cities of Warsaw and Krakow. It features first-class accommodations and private tours.
Your journey begins in Warsaw, the Polish capital and a city rebuilt from the ashes of World War II. Spend the day in Warsaw learning about its architectural history and diverse cultural influences on a private city tour. Start at the Palace of Culture and Science, a brutalist building leftover from the days of Soviet control, and continue into the Old Town, which was painstakingly rebuilt to capture the glories of Poland’s medieval past. End your tour at the Royal Castle, where you’ll tour the former rooms of the King of Poland and learn about the Polish Constitution.
From Warsaw, ride the train south to Krakow, Poland’s most popular tourist centre and a beautiful medieval city. That afternoon, head on a private tour of the old town to learn about its history and celebrated culture. Start in Market Square, one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, where you’ll see the Cloth Hall and St. Mary’s Cathedral. Continue up Wawel Hill to explore Wawel Castle, which unites the city from a cliff overlooking the river below. The next day, head 25 minutes out of town to tour Wieliczka Salt Mine, which dates back to the 13th century and was the oldest operating salt mine in the world when it ceased production in 1996. Today, the salt mine is a massive subterranean tourist attraction, with cavernous hallways to explore. Admire the giant wooden pillars that hold up the mine and tour some of its most unique corridors, including an entire church sanctuary carved from the salt.
At the end of your time in Krakow, head to the airport and connect to your next destination.
