Your experience

See Krakow from the water

Begin your journey near Wawel Castle, a symbol of Poland's royal past. Settle into a comfortable boat and set sail on the Vistula River. As you glide along, admire the picturesque landscapes and spot the Norbertine Monastery perched peacefully on a hilltop. Keep your eyes peeled for the picturesque Salwator area, known for its historical buildings, and the Kościuszko Mound, an artificial hill commemorating Polish hero Tadeusz Kościuszko. You'll also pass by the imposing Przegorzaly Castle, a 14th-century structure offering stunning vistas. A multilingual audio guide will be your companion, sharing intriguing stories and historical insights about the passing landmarks.

Explore one of Poland’s oldest towns

Upon arrival in Tyniec, a charming village steeped in history, you'll have time to explore at your own pace. Step back in time at the Benedictine Abbey, Poland's oldest active monastery, dating back to the 11th century. Marvel at the captivating blend of architectural styles – Gothic, Baroque, and modern elements – a testament to the Abbey's enduring legacy. Explore the Abbey's fascinating interiors, including the church and museum. The museum houses historical artifacts, offering a glimpse into monastic life over the centuries. Wander through the village's narrow streets, lined with quaint houses and charming shops. Don't miss the Swietojanskie Spring, considered a monument in the area, and the Skołczanka nature reserve.
