Discover Kraków’s Old Town through its artisan traditions on a 1.5-hour guided walking tour. Led by an expert local guide, this compact experience reveals centuries of craftsmanship, trade, and culture at the very heart of the city.

The walk begins at the medieval Barbican, where your guide introduces Kraków’s fortifications and the history of the Royal Route, once the path of merchants and kings. From there, you stroll along Floriańska Street, lined with historic buildings and shops, hearing stories about guilds and crafts that shaped Kraków’s economy.

The next stop is a traditional ceramic shop on Sławkowska Street. Here, you’ll see famous Bolesławiec pottery, with its hand-painted blue patterns, and learn how ceramics became a proud element of Polish culture. You will also have free time to browse the shelves, take photos, or purchase a unique souvenir.

The route then continues to the Main Market Square, the vibrant center of Kraków. Your guide leads you into the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), a historic trading hall that has been the heart of local commerce for centuries. Inside, you’ll discover stalls offering amber jewelry, folk decorations, textiles, glass, woodwork, and other hand-made treasures. 

This small-group experience, limited to just 10 participants, blends storytelling with authentic shopping opportunities, allowing you to see Kraków not only as a historic city but also as a living center of traditional crafts.
