Wawel Cathedral and St. Mary's Basilica Guided Walking Tour

Explore intricate details of the Wawel Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece that houses the tombs of Polish kings and national heroes. Delve into the stories behind the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements that grace this historical treasure. Throughout its 1000-year history, the cathedral was the place of coronations of Polish kings, royal weddings, and christenings of royal children, as well as the burial place of almost all Polish rulers and people of special merit for the country. Saints Stanislaus and Wenceslaus are worshiped in it, inside there is the Altar of the Homeland, and above it, there is a huge Zygmunt Bell, decorated with numerous works of famous artists.

Stroll through Kraków's Old Town, immersing yourself in its medieval charm, and discover the heart of the city at the bustling Rynek Główny (Main Square). The tour includes a visit to St. Mary's Basilica, located at the Main Square, where the stunning Veit Stoss altarpiece captivates with its intricate woodcarvings and artistic brilliance. This is a really beautiful church and a must-see for any travelers, whether religious or not.

This guided tour is a seamless combination of the architectural splendor, history, and archaeological discoveries of two places of worship - the royal cathedral and the burgher basilica, with elements of Krakow's Old Town passing along the way.
