Summary

Begin your tour with pickup from your Krakow hotel in a classic Trabant car. Hop in with your guide and feel like a celebrity as you cruise around town in style.

Top off your 4-hour excursion with a visit to the Jewish quarter. Learn about the neighborhood’s turbulent history in the wake of World War II, and its present-day transformation into an artist community.
