Krakow is the most important city in polish history and is located in South Poland. It is also the capital of the ‘Malopolska’ region that compromises of the Tatra Mountain range.

Krakow was Poland’s ancient royal capital, and has been a home for many famous local and international writers, artists and thinkers. UNESCO lists it as one of the world’s twelve most significant historic sites!

Here you can visit the most striking royal residences in Europe such as ’Wawel Castle’ or the medieval ‘Sukiennice’, being a vast cloth hall which is a great place for shopping if you are after amber jewellery or thick hand-woven woollen sweaters. The Old Town with its many squares, gothic, renaissance and baroque style buildings offer many hours of sightseeing, shopping or simply an array of places where to have some food or drinks.

Day 2

A private sightseeing tour of the Krakow’s Historic Centre and the Old Town including the Wawel Hill, city gates and Jewish district -Kazimierz. (Aprox. 3 hrs).

Time free for lunch.

In the afternoon private transfer to the Salt Mine –Wieliczka- the oldest salt mine in Europe listed on the list of UNESCO.A guided tour inside ( aprox.3 hrs).

The ’’ Wieliczka’’- mine has operated continuously since its construction in the Middle Ages. Today it reaches a depth of more than one thousand feet on nine levels with close to one hundred ninety miles of corridors, galleries, chambers and underground lakes. The mine currently has three distinct functions: as an active, working mine, as the world's first subterranean therapeutic sanitarium used in the treatment of bronchial and allergic asthma, and as an important tourist attraction for visitors to Krakow.

People who tour the mine visit only the first three levels, along a winding route of nearly two miles. As they follow the subterranean paths, they wander past artistic salt carvings and the 17th century solid salt St. Anthony chapel, the oldest original creation in the mine.

Or private transfer to Auschwitz-Birkenau camp (3 hrs sightseeing tour inside).

We believe Auschwitz is something much more than just a regular Museum. One should think of a visit in more of an 'life experience' category. For some people it is world's largest cemetery, for the others one of the most important witnesess of the tragedy of World War II. No matter what your interest is, we believe everybody should see it.

Auschwitz began as a concentration camp for Polish political prisoners. In 1942, it became the center for extermination of European Jews.

On this tour you will witness where the Nazis killed about 1.5 million people - mainly Jews, but also Poles, Gypsies, Russians and other nationalities - between 1940 and 1945.
