Welcome to Cracow

Krakow is famous for its tourist attractions. Cloth Hall, St.Mary;s Church,the Wawel Castle. I shall try to present places less known, but extremely interesting and worth seeing. To get to the most of them, no transfer is needed, just a walk. Also,there is no need for buying up of private guided tours .All these places are available within walking distance from the Market Square.Today, one of my favourite less known places - the Crypts under the Church of St. Casimir, Prince Royal, commonly Known as the Reformers Church

Located just a few steps from Szczepanski Square,is the Order of Franciskan Friars or Minor Monks. Besides the residential part,it contains the Church and across the Street Droga Krzyzowa,the Temple.The Temple was built in years 1666-1673 by Franciszek Szemberg Foundation in place of an earlier Temple, backdated to 1628,ruined by fire.It was constructed in Baroque style, but not splashed  with luxury. Built like the other Reformation churches,in accordance with the strict rules concerning the shape, size and design. It is compounded of two-span Presbiterium,closed by a straight wall and 3 columned nave.While inside the Church,it is worth to observe the late Baroqueian altars. To find the real treasure and directly the Secret of Crypts,we must ask for help of the Furtianin. For this purpose,we use the door located at the left of Church’s entrance. A short negotiation, accompanied by the mention of our support for the conservation works carried out within the complex, and just we jointly open the low gate,located in the main nave.A few steps down and we begin to feel cold chills on our backs.We’ve just entered one of the most terrifying places in Krakow. The grotto, in which the crypt was created,is characterized by a unique micro-climate, that causes  spontaneous mummification of mortal remains. During the centuries several thousands of people were buried there.During ll World War,when in the crypt an ammunition magazine for the German Army was set up,it resulted in the destruction of nearly all mummies.Today,there are about 50 left.I’ll tell you about three of those and surprisingly, all will be of women .

Some people love the independence that comes from using the taxi service.The journey can begin at the moment which is convenient for us,it can be terminated at any moment.Stopping at a restaurant or for the toilet, is not a problem.Travelling by taxi gives certainly the feeling of independence. Unfortunately, most often, the driver does not speak English ,or other foreign language and the price of the final bill can surprise everyone. That’s why CTS offers service in Krakow, Krakow Private Tours and Airports Transfers, giving all advantages of travelling by taxi, while devoid of its flaws. All the costs are known prior to travel. We guarantee an English speaking driver, with a large local knowledge, that can very often replace the guide.
