About this activity
Seen by many as the country’s cultural and spiritual capital, Krakow is by far Poland’s best-known and most-visited city. World Heritage-listed Old Town along with the former Jewish quarter of Kazimierz rank among the best preserved medieval sites in Europe. If ancient houses, lofty Gothic churches, magnificent palaces, and castles are your thing, then Krakow does have a lot to offer. Home to Central Europe’s second oldest university – an object of national pride – as well as a bustling cultural, academic and business center, Krakow has a quite cosmopolitan feel to it. There is no better place to experience that welcoming atmosphere than by taking advantage of the excellent range of cafés, pubs, and restaurants that will perfectly attend to landmark-weary legs. Now we give You an opportunity to do the tour of Krakow in two different ways – by an electric car with an audio guide system or walking with a licensed city guide. City tour by an electric car: Our electric cars with a professional guide will take you anywhere you want showing you around the most interesting sights of our beautiful city. The route leads along the most important monuments and historical places of interest of the Old Town. The renaissance Royal Castle at the Wawel Hill, St Mary’s Basilica on the Main Square, the historical market stalls of the Cloth Hall, the former Jewish quarter of Kazimierz with seven synagogues, as well as the old Jewish Ghetto and former Oskar Schindler’s enamel factory.
