Abercrombie & Kent: Tailor Made Poland: Warsaw & Krakow

Day 1 Warsaw, Poland

Arrive in Warsaw, where you are met by your Guardian Angel and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel.

Discover Old Town’s fairy-tale façades, continuing to the Royal Castle and 14th-century Cathedral of Saint John. Then, follow the Royal Route from Castle Square to 180-acre Lazienki Park, a stunning green space and palace complex. See the Chopin Monument and visit neoclassical Lazienki Palace, the summer residence of the last Polish king.

Begin your day at Wilanow Palace and Gardens, a breathtaking residence owned by several noble Polish families over the years. Spend the afternoon at leisure, perhaps at the Warsaw University Library, which — along with quaint shops and cafés on the ground floor — houses one of the most beautiful rooftop gardens in Europe.

Today, board a train to Krakow, relaxing in your reserved, first-class seat. Upon arrival, you are greeted by your Guardian Angel and transferred to your hotel. After checking in, enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Set out on a full-day exploration of the UNESCO-listed city of Krakow, one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe. The royal capital of Poland until the 17th century, Krakow is known for its impressive medieval architecture. Visit the Royal Castle and the Cathedral located on Wawel Hill. The city’s centerpiece is magnificent Market Square, the location of St. Mary’s Church with its famous 15th-century altar created by Wit Stwosz. Before leaving the town center, stroll through the impressive medieval university complex. Travel out of central Krakow to Kazimierz, the former Jewish Ghetto area, and see the factory of Oskar Schindler, now transformed into a museum showcasing the effects of World War II on Krakow.

Pay a sobering visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, preserved as a memorial to the more than one million Jews who lost their lives here, along with tens of thousands of others, including Poles, Roma and Soviet prisoners of war. Afterward, return to your hotel for the balance of the day at leisure. You may opt to further explore on your own, perhaps visiting the Cloth Hall Museum — the center of the textile industry in the 14th century.

Transfer to the airport and board your departure flight.
