Overview

Every hour, a trumpet melody breaks off mid-note from St. Mary's tower - find out why. That's the kind of story you'll hear on this self-guided audio tour along Krakow's Royal Road, from the medieval Barbican to the fire-breathing dragon at Wawel Castle. Over 15 stops, you will uncover legends most visitors walk right past like a knife hanging in the Cloth Hall tied to a tale of jealous brothers and a cobbler who supposedly slew a dragon with a sulfur-stuffed sheep. The tour lives on your phone with offline access and is available in 9 languages. It allows you to pause for coffee in the Main Square, duck into a church, then resume exactly where you left off. If you'd rather explore Krakow Old Town at your own pace than follow a guide's umbrella through crowds, this is built for you. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and every booking comes with a full refund guarantee.
