Slow Walking Tour of Kraków

Slow walk through the arts, architecture, and history of Kraków.

A walking tour through Krakow, focusing on the art of the Young Poland period (Art Nouveau in Polish), but not only that. During this walk, you'll learn more about the city's history, art, and monuments. We'll conclude the walk with coffee in a hidden café – a garden in the museum-home of one of the greatest Young Poland artists. If you're a fan of Art Nouveau and Secession, and you'd also like to learn more about the city, its art, and its monuments, this walk is for you.
