  Vistula River

  Sailing on an open gondola along the Vistula River in a small group, you have a unique opportunity to see Krakow from the river during a short, scenic cruise. Sit comfortably, trust your experienced captain, and admire all the most important sites in Krakow, visible from the perspective of the Vistula. Looking at Krakow from a new perspective, following the current of the queen of Polish rivers, recall the words of the Polish children's song about the Vistula: ...she saw Krakow, immediately fell in love with it, and as a token of love, she wrapped it in a ribbon.
