Krakow: Zamosc Tour

Zamosc, a quaint town in southeastern Poland, is renowned as the “Polish pearl of the Renaissance”. Established by Jan Zamoyski and inspired by Italian concepts of the ‘ideal city’, it was primarily designed by the Italian architect Bernardo Morano. Presently, Zamosc stands as one of Poland’s most scenic towns, notably preserving its original 16th-century appearance. Recognized for its historical significance, the town’s center has been a part of the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1992. It is highly suggested to experience this charming destination, often referred to as the “Padua of the North,” through a one-day tour.
