Best Tours & activities in Kraków (2026)

A guided tour is a good way to understand Kraków's layered history, from the royal city to the Jewish quarter and the communist era. Walkative! runs pay-what-you-wish walking tours of the Old Town and Wawel and of Jewish Kazimierz several times a day, plus routes on Nowa Huta, the Second World War and the former Płaszów camp. Crazy Guides takes visitors to Nowa Huta, the planned socialist district, in Trabants and Soviet-era Ladas, and also offers food and vodka outings.

Eat Polska runs a half-day food tour, a vodka tour and a pierogi class with local guides, best taken early in a trip so you know what to order afterwards. Cool Tour Company's daily bike tour covers the Old Town, Kazimierz and Schindler's Factory in about three and a half hours, and Aqua Fun runs short sightseeing cruises on the Vistula past Wawel, as well as a longer trip upstream to Tyniec Abbey. Popular day trips include the Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial; book these in advance, as entry slots are limited, and allow a full day for Auschwitz. Wear comfortable shoes for walking tours and bring a layer, as Kraków's weather can change quickly.
