- Tour Itinerary
DAY 1:
UK to Krakow From
your preferred UK airport to Krakow where you will be met
and taken to the hotel Wyspianski in the city centre (3*),
your base for the next two nights. Meet your fellow travellers
and Tour Manager over dinner this evening. (D)
DAY 5: Warsaw to Wroclaw We continue our journey
through Polish history as we head southwest to Wroclaw, set
on the river Oder. We stay at the hotel Park Plaza (4*) for
two nights. (B,D)
DAY 2: Krakow Included guided city tour
to give you a first impression of this wonderful city, the
former royal capital of Poland, teeming with ancient buildings
and monuments. Absorb the medieval atmosphere within the old
city walls; the 'Rynek Glowny' was the largest square of medieval
Europe and today it's the focal point of the city, housing
the Cloth Hall with the many colourful stalls offering their
various products. Here you will also find the
magnificent St. Mary's Church, one of the finest Gothic structures
in Poland, as well as a multitude of restaurants, bars and
cafes. Explore Wawel Hill and its impressive castle from where
Poland's former kings ruled the country. See the castle's
State Rooms, Treasury and Armoury, and the neighbouring cathedral
where the tombs of some of the kings can be found. South from
Wawel Hill is the Kazimierz district, historically home to
the Jewish population of Krakow, an area of the city dedicated
to restoring the synagogues and ancient buildings to their
former glory. (B,D)
DAY 6: Wroclaw The capital of Lower Silesia
is the fourth largest city in Poland and has endured a torrid
history of ruin and restoration, reflected in the splendid
buildings in and around the old town square. Enjoy our guided
city tour to show you the main sights or explore at leisure.
We highly recommend a visit to see the 'Panorama of The Battle
of Raclawice', a gigantic painting, 120
metres long and 15 metres high, depicting the Polish army
defeating the Russians. (B,D)
DAY 3: Krakow to Warsaw We say goodbye
to Krakow and journey north to the capital, Warsaw, to spend
the next two nights at the Kyriad Prestige (3*). (B,D)
DAY 7: Wroclaw to Auschwitz to Krakow A visit to the former concentration
camp at Auschwitz with an included guided tour, where we reflect
on the poignant memories of war, and the people who lived
to tell the tale. Then on to Krakow for our final night at
the Wyspianski (3*). (B,D)
DAY 4: Warsaw Enjoy an
included guided sightseeing tour of Warsaw, lovingly rebuilt
according to old prints and paintings after the devastation
of World War II. The result is an area of warm pastel colours,
where surviving pre-war buildings achieve a special poignancy.
The beautiful Rynek Starego Miasta (Old Town Square) is closed
to all traffic except horses and carriages, and pretty streets
full of burghers’ houses, churches and palaces radiate
from it. This afternoon will be free for individual exploration
of your favourite sights, or maybe just relax in one of the
many tempting cafes in and around the old town. (B,D)
DAY 8: Krakow to UK To Krakow airport for your
return flight to the UK. (B)
