Overview

Relax on a modern boat as you cruise along the Vistula River, taking in some of Krakow's most stunning sights. With a heated deck and comfortable leather sofas, you'll feel cozy and at home even on chilly days. On warmer days, head to the upper deck to enjoy breathtaking views while spending time outdoors.

Afterward, switch to a bus for a trip to Wieliczka, a quaint town near Krakow, home to one of Europe's largest and oldest salt mines, dating back 700 years. The mine extends 340 meters deep, with over 245 kilometers of corridors and tunnels. The tourist route spans over 3 kilometers and includes more than 20 chambers, underground lakes, and a variety of corridors and structures. Among them is the remarkable Church of St. Kinga, the patron saint of miners—a unique underground church adorned with chandeliers, carvings, and statues all sculpted from salt. The mine boasts a special healing microclimate, and at a depth of 135 meters, there's even a sanatorium.

  • River Vistula Krakow
    Sailing on a catamaran on the Vistula River on a small two-way cruise, you will get to know Krakow's monuments, visible from the side of the river. Admire all the most important places in Krakow from the Vistula River. See Krakow from a new perspective as you follow the flow of the queen of Polish rivers.
  • The Kościuszko Mound in Krakow is one of the five mounds located in Krakow. It was erected in honor of Tadeusz Kościuszko - a great patriot and leader of the national uprising (pass by)
  • Fortified like a castle, this mighty monastery, founded in the 12th century, was destroyed and rebuilt several times. The most important Krakow traditions are also associated with it: here, on Monday after Easter, the annual Emmaus festival is celebrated. Hence, the Lajkonik procession - the most important symbol of Krakow - sets off every June. (pass by)
  • The limestone hill rising above the Vistula River is the former center of power, the legendary (associated with the mythical founder of Krakow and his descendants) and historical: princely, episcopal and royal. Wawel is a complex of castle and sacred buildings - a symbol of the city, but most of all a museum presenting the most valuable monuments of Polish material culture. Take a good look and you will also notice the silhouette of the famous Wawel dragon breathing fire towards onlookers (pass by)
  • The original, modern form of the building housing the museum of art and technology is perfectly seen from the river level. The wavy line of its roof is to refer directly to the waves of the Vistula River. (pass by)
  • The baroque church of Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Stanislaus on Skałka rises above the boulevards, right on the Vistula River, on a small hill made of white Jurassic limestones. The basilica is also a national pantheon (many distinguished painters, musicians and poets are buried here) and a library with priceless documents, books and incunabula. (pass by)
  • Once independent, the city situated south of Wawel was the hub of Jewish life in Kraków for centuries, and today it is one of the greatest tourist attractions of the city. (pass by)
  • Wieliczka Salt Mine
    Ballroom, concert hall, art gallery, shrine - all made of salt and located underground. The tourist route through the Wieliczka Mine passes by chambers and drifts, salt and wooden chapels, brine lakes, and around you there are breathtaking views. The walk resembles an expedition not only deep into the Earth, but also into the depths of history. Mining machines, tools, traces of manual salt extraction - all this fits into the story of people and the place that they have created over the centuries. The sacred places of the mine, including the delightful chapel of St. Kinga, create a unique, unique in Europe, and perhaps in the world, underground pilgrimage route.
