Note: This event has already passed.

Whether you come to see the sights or purchase some world famous Polish pottery, this is a trip you will remember forever! We will be visiting Bolesławiec and Krakow, two locations popular with tourists. The town of Bolesławiec is famous for its beautiful handcrafted Polish pottery. The city of Krakow is known as one of Poland's most important economic and social hubs, and it is the town where Oskar Schindler had his enamel factory.

On this tour we will travel from Vicenza to Bolesławiec at night by bus, arriving in Bolesławiec around 11 a.m. on Thursday. Once there we will have free time to explore the city and enjoy a meal. We will then check in to our hotel — 3 star or better — followed by free time to explore the Polish pottery factories/outlets or check out the town. A Thanksgiving meal will be provided for dinner.

On Friday, we will enjoy breakfast (included) and depart around 9 a.m. for Krakow. Once we reach Krakow at approximately 1 p.m., we will check in to our hotel — 3 star or better — and proceed to a guided tour at 3 p.m. in order to get better oriented to the city. Our guided tour will start and finish at the hotel. After the guided tour you will have free time for dinner.

On Saturday, you will have free time to explore the city of Krakow. You can use this time to ride the Hop-On Hop-Off bus or visit famous sites like the Cloth Hall and the Cathedral. At 1 p.m. you have an option to meet in lobby for a guided tour of the Auschwitz concentration camp located approximately one hour outside of Krakow. After our tour of Auschwitz we will head back to Krakow for free time.

On Sunday, we will check out of our hotel and leave for Vicenza at 9 a.m.
