Rynek Underground Museum / 1h30min / Admission Ticket Included

Explore Kraków’s best-kept secret—hidden just beneath your feet! With skip-the-line entry to the Rynek Underground Museum, you’ll explore a fascinating archaeological world where centuries of history come alive.

Follow your expert guide through atmospheric tunnels under the Main Market Square, lined with remnants of old streets, stalls, and medieval trade relics. Hear stories of merchants, craftsmen, and travelers who once filled this thriving marketplace.

Cutting-edge multimedia exhibits—holograms, sounds, and projections—recreate the lively rhythm of the Middle Ages. You’ll feel the hum of trade, the clatter of carts, and the heartbeat of a city that never stopped evolving.


Wawel Castle / 1h / Admission Ticket Included

Afterwards, experience the grandeur of Wawel Castle and Cathedral—two of Krakow’s most treasured landmarks—on a guided tour designed for those who appreciate history and art in equal measure. A symbol of Polish statehood and cultural excellence, Wawel Hill holds centuries of royal legacy within its walls.

Your expert guide will lead you through the elegant State Rooms of the Royal Castle, now part of a world-class museum. Discover Renaissance interiors, elaborate tapestries, and the famed Lanckoroński collection of Italian paintings. The castle’s galleries of porcelain, weaponry, and Eastern art—including Europe’s largest collection of Ottoman tents—reflect Poland’s position at the crossroads of cultures.


Wawel Cathedral / 1h / Admission Ticket Included

Next, explore the Gothic Wawel Cathedral, where monarchs were crowned, married, and laid to rest. Admire its ornate chapels, golden domes, and exquisite detail. Climb to the tower for panoramic views and the chance to touch the Sigismund Bell, before descending to the royal crypts—resting place of Poland’s greatest rulers and visionaries.
