Overview

Krakow is so rich in history and beauty that it's challenging to see everything on foot in just one day. However, exploring the city by bike, whether on a classic Dutch Bike or a modern e-bike, makes the experience much more enjoyable and efficient. Our bike tour takes you through the heart of the old town, meandering through the vibrant Jewish district of Kazimierz and the historical former ghetto before arriving at Schindler’s Factory. In just a few hours, you’ll cover the city’s key historical sites and gain a deeper understanding of its past, often knowing more than the average Krakowian! Along the way, we’ll visit must-see landmarks such as the Market Square, the medieval city walls, Planty Park, and a stunningly old yet beautiful university building. You’ll also encounter a fire-breathing dragon and have the chance to taste a real zapiekanka during a break. This immersive bike tour offers a comprehensive and enjoyable way to discover the best of Krakow.
