Intro

Krakow – The Royal City Full of Treasures! 👑✨ Welcome to the first episode of our brand-new walking series through one of the most beautiful cities in Europe! We begin around the Florian Gate – a 13th-century symbol of Kraków and the historic entrance that, for centuries, welcomed the city’s most distinguished guests. From here, the famous Royal Route begins, but we’ll step off the main path for a moment to uncover hidden gems often overlooked by visitors. We’ll explore the Czartoryski Museum with its legendary Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece, admire the charm of historic churches, marvel at the façade of the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre, and visit the home of Jan Matejko, one of Poland’s greatest painters.
