KRAKOW (CRACOW) AND THE TATRA MOUNTAINS. "Podrozniczek"" invites you to
explore historical and natural sites in Southern Poland.
Cracow. During a 4-day stay tourists get a chance to explore historical buildings and
interiors such as royal castle and chambers, and their significance in the history of Poland.
The stay in Krakow includes sightseeing of the following objects:
The Wawel Royal Castle
which was the seat of Polish kings from the eleventh to the seventeenth century. The Wawel
complex occupies 5 hectares of land and is an unquestionable "treasure trove" of historical
and cultural objects in Poland and in Europe. It was the first Polish facility ever listed in the
UNESCO register.
Jagiellonian University is another such object, as one of the oldest
universities in the world. Established in 1364, the University holds Nicolaus Copernicus
memorabilia which are available for the public to view. For centuries Cracow has been
known as the city of outstanding artists and scientists, such as winners of Nobel prizes – this
is reflected in its architectural beauty, the highest level of entertainment on offer and magical
atmosphere attracting guests from all over the world.
Another highlight of the visit to Cracow, is a trip to
Wieliczka Salt Mine located at the
outskirts of the city. It boasts underground tourist hiking trails located from 60 to 300 metres
below the surface of the Earth.
Another town worth seeing is
Ojcow, located 30 kilometres from Cracow. There are some
interesting caves, fancy shaped rocks and palaces and museums located on limestone hills.
Zakopane: Another 4-stay in the so called ‘capital of the Polish mountains’. The town is
located about 90 kilometres from Cracow. It sits at the foothills of the Tatra Mountains, which
are part of the Carpathians band. For the convenience of exploring the fabulously charming
mountain landscapes, guests explore the area in cars and during rides in horse-drawn
carriages, particularly during a ‘must-see’ trip to Morskie Oko- lake (Sea Eye). On the
seventh day of your stay you will be offered a mountain river rafting experience down the
Dunajec River. Rafting will be held in safe boats and under professional care. This particular
waterway offers unforgettable nature experience. Later that day, you will be transferred to
