2.1-Hour Evening Vistula River Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 952 reviews · 1 hour · from $23

Cruise Krakow’s Vistula at sunset, passing Wawel Castle, Kazimierz, and Church on the Rock in a relaxed one-hour trip.

“After reading the reviews for this we were a little concerned that it wasn’t going to be that good but we had the best time! The weather was amazing so we got to see a beautiful sunset across the river. We brought takeaway pizza on board with us and sat listening to the tour, eating pizza and drinking Prosecco! Overall, it was a perfect evening and the price makes it that much better!”
