After a day of sightseeing

If you have walked all day, choose a seated evening: the Chopin concert or the boat ride. Both last under an hour and a half and need no other organising. For details on each, see the pages on the concert and the Vistula cruise.

Times can change on public holidays: check the date you choose on the booking page before fixing dinner.

If you want to eat and drink something local

The dinner with a show takes a whole evening: you leave by bus from the Kiss & Ride stop, dine in Kryspinów and return to the city. The bar tour is shorter and on foot in Kazimierz, with three stops and six liqueurs.

If you only want to eat, the food tour page has other options, including tastings in English.

How to combine two evenings

You can split them over two different evenings: a quieter one and a longer one. The concert and the boat ride fit well in the same evening, one after the other, if the times for the chosen date allow it. The other two take up almost the whole evening.
