More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start in the heartbeat of Kraków: the Main Market Square, where cobblestones hold the footfalls of merchants and the clock face of St. Mary’s watches the flow of the city. A Beachcruiser is fitted to you, and the guide leads the small group out through the green ribbon of the Planty, letting the city open in chapters—medieval walls giving way to university courtyards, Jewish streets thick with story, and riverbank views of the Vistula daring you to look downstream.
