To Be Determined

Arrival in Warsaw Airport and Transfer by Taxi or Train

Unless flying budget airline RyanAir into Warsaw Modlin Airport, you will likely arrive in Warsaw's main airport - Chopin Airport. Taxis are available at both airports, or you can arrange a private transfer for added convenience. The cheapest and fastest way to reach central Warsaw from Chopin Airport is by train. In less than half-an-hour the S2 and RL train deliver you to Warszawa Śródmieście station, which is co-located with Warsaw Central Station in the center of the city. From there you can walk to your hotel, take public transport, or easily hail a taxi or take an Uber that will be much less expensive than from the airport. Plus by taking the train you avoid potentially heavy traffic as well.

Tour the Royal Castle and Old Warsaw

Almost completely razed to the ground during WWII, the Polish capital, Warsaw, has undergone astonishing change and renewal over the past 70 years with the painstaking rebuilding of its old town and castle from virtual scratch. The extensive renovation and development that came with Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004 have left Warsaw looking better than at any time since the end of the war. The Old Town's inclusion as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is no accident - although smaller than the historic centers of Prague and Vienna or even Krakow, it's still stunning and the story of its rebirth is truly awe-inspiring. The adjacent 15th century New Town also features beautifully reconstructed cobbled streets and the birthplace of double Nobel Prize-winning scientist Marie Skłodowska-Curie.

Late Afternoon/Early Evening

Visit to the Palace of Culture & Nowy Świat

The Palace of Culture and Sciences is the building everybody who has visited Warsaw remembers. It has been a bone of contention for fifty years and still evokes extreme emotions. It has 42 floors, consumes as much energy as a town of 30,000, and remains the tallest skyscraper in Poland, even though it was built in the 1950s as a 'gift' from the Soviets to the Polish people. The extensive sightseeing terrace which surrounds the top tower is on the 30th floor and can be reached in just 19 seconds by elevator. Entry to the Palace is via its eastern side on Marszałkowska St. You can get a feel for 'socialist realist' architecture and Communist-era "luxury for the people" by visiting the cavernous interior on a guided tour to see the opulent Gagarin Hall and the famous Congress Hall where the Rolling Stones and other big stars have performed. Apart from serving as an office complex, the Palace also contains a number of cafes and bars, multiplex cinema with eight screens, four theatres, two museums (the Museum of Evolution and the Museum of Technology), bookshops, a large swimming pool, the aforementioned Congress Hall with seating capacity for 3,000 people, and an accredited university, Collegium Civitas. Directly across the road from the Palace, you can find Warsaw's heaviest concentration of restaurants, pubs, bars, and cafes in a number of pedestrian thoroughfares around Chmielna and Nowy Świat Streets.

POLIN: Museum of the History of the Polish Jews

Winner of the 2016 'Oscar' for museum design, the POLIN museum is a brilliant example of the new generation of multi-media narrative history museums, and demonstrates Poland's determination to re-tell its history after decades of suppression under the former Communist regime. Built on a former Jewish Ghetto site in front of the Ghetto Heroes Monument, which memorializes the 1943 uprising within the Warsaw ghetto, the museum's core exhibition occupies more than 4,000 square meters (43,000 sq ft) of space. It consists of eight galleries that document and celebrate the thousand-year history of the Jewish community in Poland – once the largest Jewish community in the world – that was almost entirely obliterated during the Holocaust. The Holocaust fills only one of the eight galleries, and thus does not overshadow the long and rich history that preceded it. Highlights include early Jewish manuscripts, re-creations of 18th century Jewish town life (including a scale replica of the Gwozdziec synagogue with its colorful painted interior), a religious school and a busy Warsaw street from the early 20th century. All this is done using sound effects and modern projection techniques, vintage photographs and films, histories of Polish-born movements from Hasidism to Zionism, and a vast multimedia network encompassing more than 250 computer terminals. This is a museum full of noise and color; with echoes of centuries of Yiddish chatter and the soulful sounds of klezmer music. No visitor will leave unmoved.

Afternoon/Late Afternoon

Visiting the Warsaw Rising Museum

Visit Warsaw's top museum "Warsaw Rising Museum", an interactive, multi-media exhibition designed to play on the emotions and engage the intellect as you journey through the story of the Polish capital's incredibly brave but ultimately failed rebellion in 1944 against the Nazi occupation.

Early Evening to Late Evening

Self-Guided Dining Out in Warsaw

Warsaw has recently become a real dining heaven, which can please even the most demanding foodies. Here, you can find a great variety of restaurants serving different cuisines, as well as offering different dining experiences. Since the city is very spread out, there are many areas where you would be surprised by how much Warsaw has to offer. One of such great places is "Śródmieście Południowe" or simply the south of the Center.

Morning/Mid-Day

Follow the Royal Way to Some of Warsaw's Best Attractions

Like Madrid's Gran Via or Paris's Champs Elysees, Warsaw has its own grand avenue - Krakowskie Przedmieście - not as easily pronounceable as its western cousins, to be sure, but with all the sweep of a historic thoroughfare. Together with another busier avenue - Nowy Świat - it forms the basis of what was once known as the Royal Way along which Polish and visiting kings and queens would proceed on their way to or from the Royal Castle. For centuries the nobility built palaces along this route, and these were faithfully rebuilt after the war. A fine example of Warsaw's palaces is the Ostrogski, which now houses a museum devoted to Poland's greatest composer Frederyk Chopin. Speaking of Chopin, be sure to the inspect the black Chopin benches that line the Royal Way and that feature a button which when pressed unleashes a thirty-second torrent of Chopin. You'll also find beautiful churches, grand hotels, and monuments on the route, including a statue of Poland's greatest poet, Adam Mickiewicz, as well of the great Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. The entrance to the green campus of Warsaw University is also located on the Royal Way, and just beyond it you'll find a more modern side of Warsaw on the banks for the Vistula River. If you are interested in modern architecture, you will want to see the very ecologically friendly university library and one of the biggest roof gardens in Europe. And families and science lovers will certainly want to check out the Copernicus Science Center.

12:40 PM

Transfer to Station by Taxi or Public Transport

Most trains depart from Warsaw Central Rail Station (Warszawa Centralna) station, the largest station in the city. Before spending money on a transfer, be sure to check whether your hotel is within easy walking distance. Also consider that public transport is the cheapest and sometimes fastest option. Warsaw Central is a transport hub, meaning you can reach it by tram, bus, or metro. Uber is available for those with the app. If you do not have Uber and are staying at a hotel, we suggest asking your front desk to order a reliable taxi. A pre-arranged private transfer meanwhile is the most convenient option. Some private transfers will even help with your bags.

13:42 - 16:04

Rail journey from Warsaw to Krakow

This comfortable train journey will take about two-and-a-quarter hours. If your train is designated as an EIC (Express InterCity) train, then Wi-fi coverage will be available, and food and drink are also sold on the train. The journey begins in Warsaw's central station, located next to the skyscraper-filled downtown, which is one of the more impressive skylines of Europe. As you leave Warsaw, you will pass its densely populated suburbs and areas of heavy industry before reaching the pleasant Polish countryside. As you get closer to your destination, you'll pass through the fertile farming country of Małopolska before reaching the station in central Krakow.

4:04 PM

Private Transfer from Krakow Rail Station to Your Hotel

Upon your arrival in Krakow, your driver will meet you on the platform. He will be carrying a sign with your name on it. The driver will drop you off at your hotel. This is a private transfer. The price of the pickup is already included in your itinerary cost so you will not have to pay the driver. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be aware the car service can fit up to 1 checked item of luggage and 1 personal item per person, such as a purse or small backpack. If you think you will have more baggage, please inform your travel consultant as this may result in an additional fee.

Guided Excursion to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp

There is no shortage of cruelty and evil to be found in human history, but the Holocaust stands out as perhaps the greatest of these evils, in both scale and conception. The Holocaust's most significant historical sites, the concentration camp of Auschwitz and its auxiliary camp of Birkenau, are located a little over an hour from Krakow. Important Note About Potential Cancellation Please note that the cost of this tour is non-refundable. If for whatever reason you need to cancel this tour after the tickets have already been purchased we will be unable to return the cost.

Afternoon/Late Afternoon

Explore Kazimierz and its Jewish Quarter

The district of Kazimierz was once home to one of Europe's largest and most influential Jewish communities. This tiny area became the cultural center of European Jewry, drawing immigrants from around Europe. It was filled with synagogues, Jewish schools, and printers, and was home to famous scholars such as Rabbi Moses ben Isserles. While most of its residents were tragically killed in the Holocaust, they left behind a rich and fascinating historical legacy to explore.

Despite being 700 years old, the New Town (Nové Město) is the youngest of the original five independent towns that made up Medieval Prague. The heart of New Town is one of the three original markets around which the town was planned, Wenceslas Square. Not fully given over to tourism like the Old Town, the New Town combines a historic atmosphere with the daily commercial and social life of locals, making it a great place to get a taste of the real Prague.

Early Evening

Excursion to the Terezín Concentration Camp

The former Terezín Concentration Camp is where the Nazis created a model “Jewish Town” intended to fool the Red Cross and other observers into thinking that the Jews in Europe were being humanely treated. While the ruse worked, the reality, of course, was that almost all of the Jews located in Terezín were killed, either in Terezín or later in Auschwitz. You can visit the ghetto museum, barracks, and prison, and see exhibitions of music, artworks, literature, and a theater, all created by the prisoners themselves.

Late Afternoon/Early Evening

Wanderings in the Old Town

A visit to the Old Town transports you to an entirely different era. A labyrinth of twisting cobblestone lanes and alleys surrounds Old Town Square, which has been Prague's municipal center since the Middle Ages. The square is lined by magnificent churches and imposing Renaissance palaces. As you wander through the Old Town, you discover numerous other delights, including several beautiful churches, a plentiful supply of cozy cafes and pubs, and an outdoor market dating back to the Middle Ages.

Vyšehrad Fortress; a Favorite of the Locals

The castle of Vyšehrad was the seat of Bohemia's kings from the 11th to the 12th centuries. Due to its strategic position on a hill overlooking the Vltava River and Prague, it became an important army garrison in the 17th century, and it was transformed into a fortress with huge walls, gates, and ramparts. Walking along these ramparts will offer you wonderful views of the city and river. The interior of the fortress is now given over to a pleasant and quiet park which is a favorite of locals.

Afternoon/Late Afternoon

Stroll through Petřín Park

Petřin Park is Prague's most prominent park, as it is located on the side of a large hill overlooking the city. The park is filled with cherry orchards, beautiful forests, and lawns, and is crisscrossed by numerous paths as well as the medieval Hunger Wall built by Emperor Charles IV. At the top of the park is an Eiffel Tower-like observation tower which provides an unobstructed view of the city.

22:03 - 08:29

Overnight Rail Journey from Prague to Budapest

The direct overnight train to Budapest is a convenient way to save daylight for touring while also sparing a night's lodging cost. Overnight trains are not the best for light sleepers though. Budget-conscious travelers can choose compartments with 4 to 6 bunks, while those willing to spend a little more can get compartments with 1-3 single beds. The fare tickets for the journey, and the reservations for the bunks/beds, are two separate things. Be sure that you are buying tickets that cover both, otherwise you will have to hope that a sleeper is still available for purchase. If not, you will have an uncomfortable night on the train in a regular seat (if there's one available).

Evening/Late Evening

The Danube River defines Budapest, as it divides the metropolis into two distinct city environments - Buda and Pest.
