Krakow from the horse-drawn carriage

Let us show You the city from a unique perspective!

Krakow horse drawn carriages were lauded in poetry (You would probably love the poem ‘The enchanted carriage’ written by famous Polish dreamer, Konstanty I. Gałczyński!). Nowadays, they permanently etched into the landscape of the Old Town and became one of the biggest tourist attractions. Join us and feel like a 19th-century burgher in his coach!

Our route leads from the Matejko Square to the Wawel Hill (through St. Florian’s street, the Main Square, Grodzka and Kanonicza streets). During this magical ride, while the soft clop of the hooves on the pavement carries down the street, You can admire remains of medieval Krakow fortifications, St. Mary’s Basilica, the Renaissance Cloth Hall or the magnificent baroque church of Saints Peter and Paul. All this, drinking in the unique atmosphere of old Krakow!

A carriage can accommodate from 4 to 5 persons. Hiring one vehicle costs from 600 PLN per hour. Thanks to special sound system with a transmitter and headphones our guides can be heard in several cabs, so we can invite for this unique Krakow tour even 30-person group!

We highly recommend this comfortable and probably the most romantic way of Krakow sightseeing. Decide on this magical experience!
