Await pickup at your Krakow accommodation between 8:30am and 9:30am — the exact pickup time is confirmed closer to the tour date. After a 1-hour journey to Wadowice, the birthplace of Pope John Paul II, you’ll take a sightseeing tour of the pretty town and learn about the early life of the Catholic figure.
Then, proceed to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, which sits at the foothills of the rugged Carpathian Mountains, to visit its Baroque 17th-century sanctuary. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its architectural beauty, the basilica is considered the second most important religious site in Poland after the Black Madonna.
