Day 2: Krakow – Niepolomice – Hebdów, approx. 35 km + transfer

After breakfast you will receive your travel documents during an information meeting. Afterwards, you will take part in a 3-hour guided tour of the historic Old Town. A visit to the Rynek Główny, the main market, is a must. It is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. In the center of the square are the Krakow Cloth Halls. The square is lined with palaces and churches. The world-famous high altar of St. Mary's Church is an eye-catcher, as is the Wawel, once the residence of Polish kings. In the afternoon, a transfer takes you to Niepołomice, from where you cycle to Hebdów.

Day 3: Hebdów – Zalipie – Baranów Sandomierski, appox. 55 km + transfer

First, your route today takes you along the Vistula River to Zalipie. The pretty village, where the wooden houses are painted and decorated with floral motifs, is literally one of the most picturesque spots on your bike tour in Poland. Visit the museum of house painting here. By transfer you will reach today's destination Baranów Sandomierski. The Leszczyński Palace, located on the outskirts of the town, is considered a pearl of the Polish Renaissance. Use the time after dinner for an extensive walk in the palace park and along the Vistula River, which is not far away.

Day 4: Baranów Sandomierski – Sandomierz, approx. 40 km

After breakfast today there is a possibility to visit the rooms of the castle. Then you will cycle on narrow roads along the Vistula River to Sandomierz. The town was once built on seven hills. A visit to the medieval old town is worthwhile, it is part of one of the best preserved cities in Poland. Climb to the observation deck of the Opatower Gate and enjoy the view of the many neat town houses. Those who are drawn to the underworld should go near the post office building. Behind it begins the Underground Tourist Route, which leads you for almost 500 meters through numerous cellar vaults from the 16th century.

Day 5: Sandomierz – Józefów / Piotrawin, approx. 60 km

Today you will cycle through nature reserves and bird sanctuaries, first along the banks of the Vistula. On the way you will have enough time to relax on the river bank. How about a little picnic? Enjoy the peace and serenity of the natural areas that are so unique for Poland. You will spend the night in Józefów nad Wisła or a few kilometers further in Piotrawin.

Day 6: Józefów – Kazimierz Dolny, approx. 45 km

Leisurely along the Vistula, today we go to Kazimierz Dolny. Already in the Middle Ages the layout of the city was created, which has been preserved until today. The Renaissance buildings stand out especially. Thanks to the use of soft limestone from the region, the versatile design of the house facades was achieved. Worth seeing examples are the houses of St. Nicholas and St. Christopher. It is also worth visiting the parish church from the 16th century, which has one of the oldest organs in Poland.

Day 7: Kazimierz Dolny – Warsaw, approx. 40 km + transfer

After breakfast, a bus transfer will take you to Góra Kalwaria. From here you will soon reach the destination of your trip - Warsaw. After check-in at the hotel, you will have the opportunity to take part in a guided tour of the Old Town. If you would like to explore the Old Town by yourself, you will be spoilt for choice. Rich in architectural contrasts, Warsaw impresses with a variety of modern and historical testimonies of different eras. These include the outstanding Palace of Culture from the 1950s and the Royal Castle near the banks of the Vistula. Last but not least, a walk through Łazienki Park, the Park of Baths, is worthwhile. At 80 hectares, it is Warsaw's largest park.
