The Stanisław Wyspiański Trail with a guide: what you will see
During the tour you will become familiar with the artist’s biography and work. We will visit several churches featuring his murals, see the most beautiful stained glass windows of all that he created, and find out why he would always sit in the Michalik café with his back facing the guests. Besides, we will visit the houses where he lived and wrote his plays, as well as the Skałka burial place holding the ashes of the artist. For those interested, we can also explore the biographical museum of Wyspiański.

For people who already know Kraków, or who were after something off the usual track from the start. Fewer crowds, more detail.
- Returning visitors who have done the classic route
- Small groups and individual travellers
- Visitors from abroad, since we also guide in English
How long it takes and what to know
Duration
The route normally takes 2 – 4 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.
Booking a date
Tell us how many of you there are, when you plan to come and roughly how much time you have. We normally reply the same day, with a suggested route and a price.
