Online Krakow Experience: How to Become Polish in an Hour
Krakow, Poland
Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Fascinated by Polish culture? Want to learn about the country that’s famous for pierogi and vodka (and much, much more)? Chat with a local Krakow guide on this interactive virtual experience, and uncover everything you want to know about Poland. Hear stories from the Communist era, learn about folk traditions and superstitions, and pick up a few Polish phrases. Then put your newfound knowledge to the test with an interactive trivia game, and maybe even win a prize!
Your virtual Krakow experience will begin with some friendly introductions so you can get to know your localhost and the others participating in your experience from around the globe.
Together, we’ll then all learn about Polish culture, complete with a trivia game to test your knowledge, and photos and maps to explain local geography and traditions. Your host will even be dressed in a traditional Polish folk costume!
Over the course of one hour, you’ll learn what it was like to live in communist Poland, how to say a few Polish phrases, and what you should know before you visit. You’ll get the inside story on local traditions like why the Polish water themselves to invite spring, or why the last drop of vodka is always saved for good luck and for the dwarfs who are believed to live among us.
At the end of your lesson in all things Polish, we’ll announce a trivia game-winner, who will receive a special certificate promoting their Polish knowledge, plus 50% off any Krakow Urban Adventure in the future.
