The Finest Stained Glass with a guide: what you will see

Experience the beauty of enchanted glass!During the trip we will tell you how stained-glass windows are made, what were their main uses in the past and why they were so popular. We will show you the most beautiful Medieval stained-glass windows, as well as some of those that were created later on. And together we will try to guess who are the characters presented on those marvelous windows.

Selected places: St Mary’s Church, Dom Towarzystwa Lekarskiego (the House of Krakow’s Medical Association), Wyspiański 2000 Pavillon, the Franciscan Church, the Wawel Cathedral.

How long it takes and what to know

Duration

The route normally takes 2 h. We adjust the pace and the scope to the group, so if you have less time we will shorten it without dropping what matters most.

Admission tickets

The guiding fee does not cover admission to museums and ticketed sites. Several of them sell timed entry and are often booked out days ahead in season, so it is worth mentioning them when you book.

Before you set off

What to bring

Every route is walked, at a pace suited to the group. A few small things will simply make it more comfortable:

  • Comfortable shoes. There is a lot of walking, and much of the Old Town is cobbled.
  • Water, especially in summer. We pass shops and cafés, though not always when you want one.
  • Clothing suited to the weather. A hat and sunglasses in the heat, an umbrella or rain jacket in spring and autumn.
  • Some cash in Polish currency. Most places take cards, but not all. The currency in Poland is the złoty (PLN).
  • A charged phone or camera. There will be plenty worth photographing.
  • Any documents that entitle you to a discount, such as a school, student or pensioner card.
