Krakow & The Trails of The Vistula

Duration

7 days

Overview

Land of kings, historians, and legends. If the bricks and cobblestone of this city could talk, we would hear stories about some of the most decisive moments in Polish & European history. From Czech dominance back in the IX century, passing through Swedish ruling in the 1700’s; to the Prussian, Russian and Austrian division and some of the darkest hours of history, during WWII. Ask Wawel’s dragon for permission to enter the castle and discover this architectural jewel, wander the streets of the “Ghetto” and learn about one of the toughest lessons history has taught us, and access bunkers from the cold war to hear stories from a recent past. All wrapped in a fairy-tale-like atmosphere that will mess with your senses and surrounded by lavish forest, lakes and medieval towns, that will invite you to reflect, as you stop after a hike or drop your bicycle for a second. Do not forget to indulge yourself with delicious pierogi and a taste of soplica in Kazimierz, the old Jewish quarter.
