03 / City Notes

Notes from the cities we stop in

Short entries written by the guides who walk these streets with our groups of 16 travellers or fewer.

Krakow old town rooftops above the Vistula embankment at dusk

Krakow, Poland / best season May to June / 6.4 km on foot

Krakow

The old town is compact enough to cross twice in an afternoon. We start at the Barbican, follow the royal route to Wawel Hill, then drop into Kazimierz for the second half of the day.

Evening is the better slot for the Main Market Square: the cloth hall empties out and St Mary's Basilica keeps its doors open late. Bring thin-soled shoes. The cobbles here are unforgiving.

Vienna street facade with tram rails and morning light on the pavement

Vienna, Austria / best season April and September / 8.1 km on foot

Vienna

Vienna rewards a slow morning. Walk the Ringstrasse before the trams fill, then cut inward through the museum quarter while the courtyards are still quiet.

Coffee houses are part of the itinerary rather than a break from it. Order a melange, sit as long as you like, and let the guide handle the day ticket for the U-Bahn. Group size stays capped so nobody waits on a tram platform alone.

Ljubljana riverside walkway with the Triple Bridge and cafe terraces

Ljubljana, Slovenia / best season June / 4.8 km on foot

Ljubljana

The centre is car-free and small. We cross the Triple Bridge, climb to the castle for the view, then follow the river south past the market colonnade.

This is the shortest walking day on the route and the easiest place to add free time. Prices include all taxes and fees, so lunch on the riverside terraces is the only thing you pay for yourself.

Cities on the route change by departure. See the full day-by-day itineraries or check upcoming departures from Kyiv and Lviv.
