Unforgettable sights, great mysteries, fascinating stories
This trip will allow you to experience the variety of Krakow. You will discover the dark side of the city as detectives, explore the underground salt city, learn to cook Polish dishes and... get to know the most useful Polish expressions ;).
1. ON THE PROGRAMME:
Żubrówka and Żurek
For a start! We'll spend an evening together singing Polish songs, raising Polish toasts and tasting Polish food, all this to the accompaniment of a traditional Polish band.
Misterious Krakow - the dark sites of the Old Town
Discover some unsolved cases as well as famous crimes that happnened in the past. Slip into the role of a detective - trace the footsteps of murderers, examine old photos, solve mysteries....
To gather information for this tour we made a research in libraries and city archives but the effect was worth it - Agatha Christie would love this tour.
Wieliczka - discover the underground city of salt
Wonderful chapels, charming lakes, monuments carved in salt, original museums... In the labyrinth hidden 112 metres under the city you will discover a completely different world, learn about people's struggle with nature, their work, their passions and beliefs.
The Salt Mine in Wieliczka is the most frequently visited tourist attraction in Poland. Placed on the UNESCO's World Heritage List, it is one of the world's oldest (13th century) operating salt mines.
The mysterious Kazimierz - discovering Jewish culture
During our walk around Kazimierz you will feel the unique atmosphere of a Jewish town, see the most interesting monuments of the district, visit places of worship as well the most peculiar sites such as the renowned Laznia theatre, the oldest bakery in Krakow and Jewish artisan workshops.
We will take you to the places where Steven Spielberg shot his Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" and to Szeroka street, home to the world-famous Jewish Culture Festival. Together we will sit in the legendary Singer bar, drinking cold beer and talking about Lajkonik, the beautiful Esther and Klezmer music... in Polish :)
Pierogi feast - let's make it together
Poles love pierogis. All Polish restaurants have them in their menus, and molding them is probably the oldest Polish culinary tradition. Now you have the chance to experience our tradition as well. During our pierogi party you will get to know our special recipe and together we will mold a whole lot of delicious pierogis.
And a Polish lesson so that you know how to...
order "barszcz z uszkami" in a milk bar,
negotiate a better price with a taxi driver,
sing Sto Lat at your Polish friend's birthday,
impress everybody with your pronunciation of Polish tonguetwisters such as "chrz±szcz brzmi w trzcinie".
Above all it's great fun plus some useful skills!
