Board at Przystan Wawel Resto Bar for a 50-minute Vistula cruise with English or Polish audio. You will pass Wawel Castle, Kazimierz, the Bernatek Footbridge, Manggha Centre, and Church on the Rock.

“We really enjoyed the river cruise, the only down fall was we sat at the back and couldn't hear the audio very well, but other than that it was an amazing experience. It's a nice little boat, it had about 16 seats to sit out on then there was a little inside part where you could also sit, it also had a toilet which was also a bonus. one tip would be to definitely wrap up warm, hat, scarf, gloves, thick coat.”
