More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a low-profile glass catamaran and the Vistula takes the lead—its current nudging the hull as Kraków unfolds along both banks. The city’s limestone bluffs and red roofs slide by: Wawel’s silhouette rises like a compact citadel, churches pierce the skyline, and modern galleries catch the afternoon light.
