Tour Itinerary

1

Meet your guide at Saint Mary's Basilica
Your tour begins in Krakow's Main Square, right in front of Saint Mary's Basilica. After quick introductions with your guide, you'll dive straight into the culinary heart of Old Town.
2

Bite into fresh obwarzanek bread
Grab Krakow's iconic obwarzanek, a chewy braided bread twisted by hand and baked until golden. The sesame and poppy seeds add crunch to every bite. This centuries-old street snack has fueled locals since medieval times.
3

Devour zapiekanka, Polish pizza, and pierogi dumplings
Stop at a local spot to try zapiekanka, an open-faced baguette loaded with mushrooms, cheese, and sauce, then savor pierogi, a Polish dumbling stuffed with potato, cheese, or meat. These are Poland's ultimate comfort foods, warm and satisfying.
4

Sip traditional Polish vodka
Raise a shot of smooth, ice-cold vodka and toast like a local. Your guide explains how this bold spirit became woven into Polish tradition and why it cuts through the richness of street food so perfectly.
5

Wander through Stary Kleparz Market
Step into Stary Kleparz, Krakow's oldest food market, where vendors have sold fresh produce and regional specialties for centuries. Stalls overflow with color, chatter, and the scent of smoked meats and pickled vegetables.
6

Taste kiełbasa sausage, oscypek cheese, and pickles
Sample smoky kiełbasa sausage, tangy barrel pickles, and oscypek, a firm highlander cheese with a salty, smoky punch. Finish with sheep milk bundz cheese and old-school Polish sweets that balance sweet and savory perfectly.
7

Your tour finishes at Stary Kleparz Market
The tour ends at the market, leaving you full, a little buzzed, and deeply satisfied. Linger at the stalls, ask your guide for a café recommendation, or wander back into the Old Town.
