Krakow

Two-day rail city break from Switzerland to Krakow's UNESCO old town

Illustration of Krakow

railtour suisse runs this two-day, one-night rail city break from Switzerland to Krakow, the former capital of Poland. The journey is by second-class train, with the round trip and one hotel night bundled into the from-273-Swiss-franc price. The single night is spent in a 3-star hotel in Krakow, leaving a day and an evening to see the city. Krakow's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with St Mary's Church at its center, next to the Market Square, described as the largest medieval square in Europe, with its historic town hall and Cloth Hall. Wawel Castle, seat of the Polish kings for centuries, sits above the city and is also UNESCO-listed. The Kazimierz district, the old Jewish quarter made known internationally through the film 'Schindler's List', is now full of art galleries, cafes and cabaret. This trip suits travellers who want a short, independent rail introduction to one historic European city rather than a longer escorted tour.
