Polish Countryside and Tyniec Abbey Bike Tour from Krakow

Begin your tour in central Krakow, where you’ll join up with your guide, slip on your helmet and hop on your bike. Follow your guide through the city streets, passing Pope John Paul II’s former residence and traveling along the Vistula River into the countryside.

Purchase snacks at a riverside cafe and recharge before pedaling up to Poland's oldest functioning monastery, Tyniec Abbey. Learn about the daily rituals of the monks as you wander the church and museum, and hear the history of 11th-century structure. Afterward, enjoy some time to peruse the shop, filled with treats crafted by the monks, including wine, oils, teas and more.

Cycle through the Wolski Forest, pausing to explore the ruins of a hillside fortress. Conclude your excursion at a scenic lake ringed by cliffs, the site of a former quarry where John Paul II worked during Poland’s Nazi occupation. Capture the sunset views of Krakow from the clifftops before returning to your original departure point.

Discover the beautiful countryside and historical sights around Krakow on a 4-hour afternoon bike tour. With an expert guide, cycle a trek bike out of the city past the former home of Pope John Paul II. Absorb the fresh air and scenery as you ride along the Vistula River, through tranquil Wolski Forest, and visit Tyniec Abbey, Poland’s oldest functioning monastery. Explore inside the church and museum as you learn about the monks’ daily rituals before finishing with a photo stop to capture Krakow at sunset.
