About this experience

Due to its historical specificity, narrow streets and a closed zone for public transport, Krakow is best explored on foot. But some distances, if you want to see the most interesting things, can be too tedious.
Sightseeing on board an ecological, electric vehicle equipped with an audio system is a convenient and quick way to get to know the history of Krakow and its monuments. A quiet, comfortable little car can drive through the Old Town and drive its small and narrow streets. You can enjoy sitting in a comfortable car and admire this wonderful medieval city.
During the trip, visitors have a unique opportunity to see the most beautiful places in the Old Town, Kazimierz - the old Jewish district, where you can discover the traces of the Holocaust by walking through the Krakow ghetto to the famous Oskar Schindler's Factory.
