Krakow Guided Tour by Golf Cart in Old Town, Wawel Castle & Salt Mine Wieliczka

On this tour by electric golf car (TUK-TUK), you will see Krakow's oldest historic area, some of the most emblematic parts of this UNESCO Site. The Old Town and the Main Market Square are surrounded by a park called Planty. Here are many of the most characteristic monuments of Krakow - the Cloth Hall passage, St. Mary's Cathedral, the Town Hall Tower, numerous churches and tenement houses. Then, take a look at the Wawel Hill in all its glory and go inside to visit the symbol of Krakow with a guide. The residence of Polish kings is also one of the most important museums in Poland - it collects rich collections of paintings, graphics, sculptures, fabrics, goldsmiths, militaria, porcelain and furniture. After lunch (included in the price), we will drive to Wieliczka, near Krakow, where one of the largest ancient salt mines in Europe (700 years) is located. Walking through the underground corridors, we will admire the wonders carved in salt by nature itself and with human help.

The pearl of Krakow’s fortifications, the Barbican is one of the most exquisite examples of medieval military architecture in Europe. Never captured during a siege, it passed into legend when its defenders repulsed the attacking enemy forces with – believe it or not –a single shot!

One of the most famous and most recognised Polish stages, it has operated continuously since 1893. The building of the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre is counted among the most precious examples of theatre architecture in Europe.

A history spanning over eight centuries, a high altar by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz), a bugle call, the star strewn murals by Jan Matejko covering the vaulting: all this in a single church! Moreover: in the very centre of Kraków!

This is the place of the most “mosts”: the most important public space in Kraków, the most expansive Market Square of medieval Europe, it gathers everything most characteristic of the city and has its most distinctive hallmarks, and last but not least: the most beautiful, the most important, the most charming, the most…

One of the symbols of city, a pearl of renaissance architecture, Krakow’s oldest “commercial centre”: Sukiennice or the Cloth Hall is one of the most important elements of the architectural heritage of Kraków.

70 metres (230 ft), 110 stone steps, the executioner’s dungeons, and 700 years on the Main Market Square: this is the Town Hall Tower, the only remnant of the original seat of the city authorities.

Krakow is the oldest academic city in Poland and one of the oldest in Europe. Therefore, we are not surprised by the presence of ancient university buildings near the Main Square. Driving through the academic quarter, you will hear interesting facts about the life of former students in Krakow.

The limestone hill rising above the Vistula River is the former center 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.

The depth of the mine is 340 metres, the total length of corridors and tunnels is over 245 kilometres. The tourist route is more than 3 km long and includes more than 20 halls, including the largest and unique St. Kinga's Church - the patroness of miners. The underground church is richly decorated with chandeliers, carvings and sculptures of saints carved out of salt. There is a special curative microclimate in the mine and at a depth of 135 m there is a sanatorium. The salt mine in Wieliczka is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
