Enjoying Holy Week in Southern Poland!
Join us for a once in a lifetime experience in Krakow and the foothills of the Tatra Mountains during the last week of March with just enough fun to get you back to the States to enjoy Easter with your loved ones. We’ll spend half of the week relaxing in the country in the Spa town of Szczawnica where we can book a spa appointment, enjoy the thermal springs, or simply take a brisk walk along the river front. Then, we’ll turn our attention to the Old Town of Krakow to experience the unbelievably colorful and vibrant Easter Market in the very heart of the city at Krakow’s glorious main square. Enjoy the fine arts as well as the delicious foods on offer as we weave in a few of the amazing historical sites that surround us.
Dates: March 21st through 27th
Fees: $4,250 (plus airfare) per person based on double occupancy. This trip is limited to 6 people.
Here’s the day by day breakdown:
Arrival Day
Fly into Krakow and meet our on the ground team for a scenic private transfer south toward the Tatras Mountains. Along the way, we’ll stop to take in the view and enjoy a late lunch. Please note, due to the long transfer, all incoming flights will need to be coordinated so we can best schedule our time. (This is a bit of a departure from our normal protocol.)
Days One through Three:
Welcome to Szczawnica, the historical center of restorative spas for the region. Dotted with “inhalariums” and vistas of the Dunejec River, this beautiful area is the perfect place to restore and recuperate in the fresh mountain air.
Days Four and Five:
As we transition toward the city, we look forward to spending time in the very heart of Krakow during one of its most unique times of year: Easter Market season! Take in the colorful eggs, gorgeous flowers, amazing food and more as the main square bursts to life. Weather permitting, we may even see a bit of change as the famous restaurant greenhouses are removed for the warmer weather. We’ll be sure to sprinkle in a few of the historical sites that surround this part of the city.
Days Six and Seven:
Krakow continues to delight and we’ll take in some of the amazing sites. Choose from the Rynek Archeology Museum, The Diosocean Museum, or the Ethnographic Museum. Perhaps you may be interested in a day trip to Czestochowa to see the Black Madonna. The choice is completely yours! We’ll end our time with our signature farewell dinner with all of the tastes and smells that make a Polish Easter so very special!
Departure Day
We’ll be sure to make your last moments memorable now that you’ve conquered Europe’s best-kept secret! We know some of you are flying directly home, while others may be on to new adventures like Prague or Paris. Wherever you are off to, we are so thrilled we got to share Poland with you!
