Vistula River Night Cruise in Krakow

The evening cruise on the Vistula shows Krakow from the water, with its landmarks lit up after dusk. It leaves from the foot of Wawel Castle, lasts about an hour and comes with an English audioguide. It is a relaxed break after a day on foot, and works well if you are short on time.
