Krakow: Sandomierz & Lublin Tour

This unique tour allows you to see beautiful small town of Sandomierz and larger city of Lublin during only one day from Krakow. Sandomierz stands out as one of the most picturesque locations in southeastern Poland. It is also recognized as one of the oldest and most historically important cities in the nation’s history. Established in the early Middle Ages, Sandomierz’s strategic position at the confluence of the Vistula and San rivers facilitated its growth as a key trading hub. Lublin, often referred to as the capital of eastern Poland, is a city of remarkable beauty. It stands as the biggest and fastest-growing urban area east of the Vistula River. With its history stretching back to the 12th century, Lublin’s rich past is evident in its stunning monuments, traditional culinary delights, and the legends that echo through its streets, lanes, and the facades of its historic buildings.
