Description

Take a retreat to an artistic center of retreat in Poland on a full-day journey from Warsaw to Kazimierz Dolny. It is a hidden gem in the east of Poland. Perched high above the Vistula river and populated for centuries by artists and artisans, this small town has big appeal. Upon arrival, follow your guide to the town square with well-preserved Renaissance townhouses, some of the best in Poland. See the artists who opt to stay and work there, deriving inspiration from the town's surroundings. Admire the folk art sold at its stalls. Discover the Jewish heritage of the town, stopping by the renovated synagogue. Listen to the story of Jewish life and death as a poignant and important part of the town’s history. Visit the ruins of the castles from the time of Casimir the Great, hosting music concerts during the summer. Climb the famous Three Crosses Hill, named because of the wooden crosses that adorn the slope there. Take the opportunity to enjoy a panoramic view over the river and the whole town with its characteristic red roofs and whitewashed walls. Explore one of the gorgeous gorge. At the end of the ice age, water draining from the Vistula carved an unusual maze of gorges, unlike anything else in Europe. The most popular of these is Korzeniowy Doł (Root Gorge), which is filled with tree roots that wind around like snakes. Are you hungry after so exciting tour? Whether you’re a meat eater or a vegetarian, taste Kazimierz’s famous bread roosters baked from for half a century. Admire Polish beautiful countryside scenery with woodlands, fields, orchards, and hops plantations on the way back to your hotel in Warsaw.
