Itinerary:

Hala Targowa / 30min 

The tour begins at the legendary Hala Targowa, a traditional market long favored by locals. Here, you’ll sample classic Polish specialties such as smoked sausage, regional cheeses, handmade pierogi, crunchy pickles, and a sweet treat sourced directly from market vendors—an authentic introduction to Polish cuisine.


Plac Nowy / 1h30min

From the market, follow your guide into the energetic streets of Kazimierz, a district celebrated for its artistic spirit and vibrant food scene. Along the way, you’ll stop to enjoy one of Kraków’s most iconic street foods: zapiekanka—crispy, warm, and generously topped, just as locals love it.

The experience continues in a retro, communist-era bar that offers a glimpse into Poland’s recent past. In this nostalgic setting, you’ll taste traditional zakąski, including smalec with bread and pickles, hearty bigos, and maczanka—a historic Kraków specialty. The flavors are complemented by a tasting of Polish vodka, an essential part of local food culture.

At the end of the tour, you’re welcome to stay longer at the bar, soak in the atmosphere, and continue the evening with your group. It’s an open invitation to enjoy Kraków the way locals do—through good food, conversation, and a relaxed pace.
