Overview

Experience the royal city from the water on a short panoramic cruise along the Vistula River aboard a modern catamaran. Enjoy stunning views of Wawel Castle, historic churches, and other landmarks from the open deck, weather permitting.

After disembarking, meet your guide and explore lesser-known areas. Visit the site of the Krakow-Płaszów concentration camp, located in the suburbs of Krakow, not far from the city's grand monuments. Delve into the camp's dark history and see the sombre memorials dedicated to Holocaust victims. Your guide will explain the impact of Nazi occupation in this area and how the deportation of Jews from the Krakow ghetto began in 1942. Explore the different sections of the camp, learning about the harsh labour carried out in the quarry and military factories, and gain a deeper understanding of life in the camp as you pay tribute to its victims.

Activity itinerary

River Vistula Krakow
  • 40m
Sailing on a catamaran on the Vistula River on a small one 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.
Kosciuszko's Mound (Kopiec Kosciuszki) (Pass by)
The Kościuszko Mound in Krakow, one of the five mounds located in Krakow, was erected in honour of Tadeusz Kościuszko - a great patriot and leader of the national uprising.
Monastery of the Norbertan Sisters (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.
Wawel Royal Castle (Pass by)
The limestone hill rising above the Vistula River is the former centre 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.
Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology (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.
Church on the Rock (Kosciol na Skalce) (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.
The Ghetto Heroes Square
  • 20m
Situated in the Podgórze district, which in 1941 was turned into the Krakow Ghetto, the former Plac Zgody [Concord Square] was designated 'Umschlagplatz' under the Nazi occupation, the place where the Jews had to congregate to be deported. Right next to the square there are symbolic places of those times - the Eagle Pharmacy (acting as an asylum, providing shelter during deportations, delivering messages or parcels in and outside the ghetto) and the Enamel Factory (employing Jewish residents of Krakow).
Plaszow Concentration Camp
  • 1h 30m
Deep in the Podgórze district of Krakow lies an undeveloped, rolling and almost wild area, hiding a sinister history. Here, on the grounds of an old cemetery, during the war the Nazis set up one of their many death camps for the Jewish inhabitants of Krakow and the surrounding area - ``Konzentrationslager Plaszow bei Krakau''. Unlike the well-preserved Auschwitz, today you will not find barracks or railway frames here. Only a trained eye and the knowledge of a guide will allow you to recreate the character of this place and learn the fate of its prisoners. The film "Schindler's List" was also filmed in this area.
