KRAKOW
- Day 06
In the morning, we’ll include a panoramic tour of Krakow, the capital of "Lesser Poland," founded in the 7th century. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its medieval charm. During our visit, we’ll explore its picturesque streets, the Main Market Square—one of the largest in Europe and the heart of the city—and the Wawel Castle Hill, the former residence of Polish kings.
Afterward, we’ll head to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, a small town set in a scenic landscape, famous for its monastery and chapel complex. Known as the "Calvary," this UNESCO World Heritage Site is an important pilgrimage destination.
Next, we’ll stop in Wadowice, the birthplace of Pope John Paul II, where there will be time for lunch and a leisurely stroll.
In the afternoon, we’ll visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi concentration and extermination camp from World War II, where over a million people perished. We’ll visit Birkenau (Camp II) where trains carrying deportees arrived from across Europe.
We’ll arrive in Warsaw at the end of the day.
