Experience the Charm of Old Town: Our tour kicks off in the vibrant Main Market Square, the largest medieval town square in Europe. As you pedal around, you’ll take in the stunning views of landmarks such as St. Mary’s Basilica, known for its impressive Hejnał mariacki trumpet call, and the Cloth Hall, a Renaissance monument at the heart of the square. Your guide will provide insights into the historical significance of these structures and share stories from the city’s past that breathe life into the ancient stones.
Discover the Historical Depths of Kazimierz: From Old Town, we’ll make our way to Kazimierz, the historic Jewish quarter of Krakow. This district is teeming with history and character, from its poignant reminders of the Jewish community that once thrived here to its current status as a cultural hotspot. You’ll cycle past important synagogues, including the Old Synagogue and the Remuh Synagogue, and explore the vibrant squares and backstreets that are buzzing with cafés, galleries, and unique shops. Learn about the cultural renaissance that has transformed this area while still preserving its solemn heritage.
Venture into the Poignant District of Podgórze: Crossing the Vistula River, our route takes us to Podgórze, known for its somber history as the location of the Krakow Ghetto during World War II. Here, we’ll visit Ghetto Heroes Square, where empty chairs stand as a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. We’ll also see the exterior of Oskar Schindler’s Factory, now a museum, which tells the story of Schindler’s efforts to save his Jewish workers from the camps. This segment of the tour not only reflects on the tragedies of the past but also highlights the resilience and renewal that define this area today.
Scenic Return with Riverside Views: As we cycle back to the starting point, enjoy the scenic paths along the Vistula River, offering picturesque views of Wawel Castle perched above the riverbank.
