Try some oscypek — smoked cheese made from salted sheep’s milk — or other delicacies at Small Market Square (Mały Rynek) and hear how the Poles’ love of soup, stew and pierogies was born from the need for cold-busting foods during the country’s freezing winters. Pair your food with some authentic Polish beer, and then walk to the Main Market Square (Rynek Główny).
Follow your guide to a hidden eatery and try some typically hearty Krakovian soup. As you dig in, hear about the importance of soup such as barszcz (beetroot soup) to Polish cuisine, and how Krakow celebrates this national love affair with an annual soup festival.
Follow the 'Royal Way,' passing Wawel Royal Castle (Zamek Wawelski) and Katedra Wawelska (Wawel Cathedral), and pause to savor some authentic, hand-made pierogies. If you think you’ve tasted these Polish delicacies before, think again — the dumplings you’ll try here are the genuine article. Dig in and hear about their medieval origins and how they can be stuffed with potatoes, meat, sauerkraut, cheese and even fruit.
Continue to the former Jewish district of Kazimierz, now a buzzing, bohemian area where many restaurants keep age-old Jewish culinary customs alive. Enjoy some typical fare and a shot of ‘bison grass’ vodka, the unique Polish vodka that contains a blade of grass from the Białowieża Forest to add freshness.
Your tour ends here, leaving you free to enjoy more of Kazimierz independently. Alternatively, walk back to the center with your guide and get their inside tips on restaurants and bars for whiling away the rest of the evening.
