Overview

Admire the royal city from the deck of a modern catamaran on a scenic cruise along the Vistula River. As you glide past Wawel Castle, historic churches, and other landmarks, listen to informative commentary provided by the boat's advanced sound system, while taking in the stunning views from the open deck on a clear day. Even in cooler weather, the heated deck and plush leather sofas will keep you warm and comfortable.

Upon reaching your destination, meet your guide for a walk through the streets of Podgórze, the site of the former Jewish ghetto during the war. These streets still hold echoes of those tragic times. Explore a preserved section of the ghetto wall, the homes where thousands of displaced Jews once lived, the historic “Pharmacy Under the Eagle,” and the poignant monument of empty chairs at Ghetto Heroes Square.

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.
Ghetto Wall Fragment
  • 10m
See a small fragment of the original wall around the former ghetto, preserved to our times, with a plaque commemorating the fate of the inhabitants
The Ghetto Heroes Square
  • 30m
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).
