This sightseeing walk follows the historical coronation path of the Polish kings from the time when Kraków served as the royal capital. 

The tour is ideal for making your first acquaintance with Kraków's historical center in a casual, laid-back manner. You can preview it for free at the Krakow Guide App.

The walk begins at Matejko Square near the Church of St. Florian.  Hundreds of years ago, it was a suburb that has now become the Klepazh district. Entering the Old Town through the historical ceremonial gate, you will pass through the Main Market Square and finally reach the Wawel Royal Castle. There are many essential landmarks and historical sights along the way for which we prepared exciting audio stories. We will also point out some other attractions that you may want to visit later on your own or with a guide.
