7 days in Krakow Itinerary

One of Poland's oldest cities, Krakow sits at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, its historical town center nestled on the left bank of the Vistula River.

Visiting Nature & Wildlife Tours and Grota Lokietka (King's Lokietek Cave) will get you outdoors. Popular historic sites such as Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wawel Royal Castle are in your itinerary. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Krakow: Pieniński Park Narodowy (in Szczawnica), Pogoria 3 Lake (in Dabrowa Gornicza) and Zamek Królewski (in Suloszowa). And it doesn't end there: appreciate the extensive heritage of Kazmierz The Former Jewish District, contemplate the long history of Muzeum Krakowa, oddzial Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera, take in the spiritual surroundings of Wawel Cathedral, and admire the landmark architecture of St. Mary's Basilica.
