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.

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.
