Krakow City Bike Tour
Beach-Cruiser Guided Rides
Get off the plane and get on a bike. The best way to get your bearings of Krakow is on our city bike tour. We cover the old Town, the Jewish quarter, and Podgorze; the location of Krakow's WWII ghetto.
The joy of this tour lies not only in the places you’ll discover, but in the simple pleasure of cycling through Kraków itself. Ride beneath the trees of the leafy Planty Gardens, follow the line of the old city moat, cruise along the gentle Vistula River, and explore the colorful, bohemian streets of Kazimierz.
Despite covering a lot of ground, the tour is relaxed and not physically demanding, making it suitable for all fitness levels. We make frequent stops for historical insight, storytelling, and photo opportunities. The tour lasts approximately 4 hours, covering 12 km (8 miles), and includes a 45-minute break for a light lunch.
Pedal through charming streets and hidden alleys as your expert local guide brings the city’s past to life with engaging stories and fascinating details. You’ll pass iconic landmarks such as Wawel Castle and the stunning Main Market Square, while also discovering lesser-known corners and hidden gems that most visitors miss. Riding through the city at an easy pace allows you to blend in with the locals — making you feel like a true Krakowian for the day.
Our City Bike Tour begins daily beneath the Adam Mickiewicz statue in the Main Market Square. No bikes just yet — we start by meeting the group, introducing ourselves and the city, and then head off together to outfit each guest with their own comfortable beach cruiser bike before setting out.
