Deluxe Warsaw & Kraków
Luxury Vacations, Arts & Culture
Trip Overview:
This 10-day Polish vacation takes you to Warsaw and Krakow to explore Poland’s most famous cities. It features deluxe accommodations, private tours, and is a great introduction to the country.
Your journey begins in Warsaw, the Polish capital that was almost completely rebuilt following the destruction of World War II. You’ll have a few days in Warsaw to see its many historical landmarks and appreciate its varied cultural influences. One day, head on a private city tour starting at the Palace of Culture and Science, a brutalist building leftover from the days of Soviet control, continuing to the Old Town, which was painstakingly rebuilt to capture its medieval past, and finally to the Royal Castle, where the former kings of Poland used to govern the nation.
The next day, enjoy a private tour of Wilanow Palace, located about 10km south of the city centre and one of Poland’s remaining Baroque royal residences. This opulent property has changed hands many times and bears the influences of its many historical owners in its resemblance to a Parisian mansion, Italian garden, and Polish estate manor. On your final day in Warsaw, go on a private tour of the Royal Lazienki Park and Garden Palace, the summer residence of Stanislaw August, the last King of Poland. These 76ha of land contain stunning themes and variations, with notable buildings such as Myslewicki Palace, one of the last classicist-style buildings left in Warsaw.
Head to the train station and ride the train to Krakow, Poland’s tourist centre and one of the most beautiful small cities in Europe. A private city tour will showcase the appeal of its city centre, starting in the Market Square, which is one of Europe’s largest and home to the massive Cloth Hall and St. Mary’s Cathedral, which is decorated with startling colours on the inside. Continue up Wawel Hill to explore Wawel Castle, which overlooks the river and is the unofficial centre of the city.
The next day, head to nearby Oswiecim for a sombre tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, learning about the Holocaust and how this beautiful Polish town was transformed into one of the darkest places in human history. Cap off your time in Krakow with a private tour of Wieliczka Salt Mine, located only 25 minutes outside of the city. This salt mine dates back to the 13th century and was the oldest operating salt mine in the world when it ceased production in 1996. Explore the massive subterranean installation, admiring the giant wooden pillars holding up the mine and the fascinating spots such as an entire church sanctuary carved from the salt.
At the end of your stay, you’ll head back to the airport to connect back home.
