University Route
Stops on your route:
1. Collegium Maius and Jagiellonian University » 2. Nowodworski College » 3. St Anne's Church » 4. Collegium Novum » 5. St Norbert and Former Premonstratensian Convent's Church » 6. Collegium IuridicumThe Jagiellonian University is nearly 650 years old! This source of knowledge succoured Nicolas Copernicus, Nobel prize winners Ivo Andrić and Wisława Szymborska, and the future Pope John Paul II Karol Wojtyła. Today, students move between the buildings of the University strewn all over the city, yet in bygone centuries, the buildings of the Academy – as the University was known at the time – were gathered together within the old city. A walk along the route presenting Poland’s oldest university illustrates the motto “to educate by entertaining”.

Route of St Stanislaus
Stops on your route:
1. Wawel Cathedral » 2. Bernardine Church » 3. Church Na Skałce (On the Rock) » 4. St Catherine and St Margaret's Church » 5. Wolnica Square and the City Hall of Kazimierz » 6. Corpus Christi Church » 7. Brothers Hospitallers of St John of God's ChurchThe route leads from Wawel Cathedral to the Church “na Skałce” along the path of the traditional procession, which takes place every year on the first Sunday following 8th May. The day is the date of the canonisation of Kraków’s first saint who died a tragic death as a result of his conflict with the King. Unlike the procession, the route also leads you to the three churches of Kazimierz: St Catherine’s, Hospitaller Order of the Brothers of St John of God, and Corpus Christi Church, the former parish church of the city of Kazimierz.
