Krakow offers so much for music tours

The beautiful old town has the status of UNESCO World Cultural Site, with hugely impressive historic buildings such as Wawel Castle and Cathedral. Walking tours and boat tours are a popular way to see all the sights and gain knowledge of this remarkable city. There are also an amazing range of excursions outside the city from the moving experience of Auchwitz to the spectacular salt mines of Wieliczka.

Concerts

Krakow has a thriving cultural programme year around which make it a fantastic destination for a music tour.

Churches in the city’s old town welcome our groups for both stand alone concerts and to perform as part of Mass. There are further performance opportunities in the surrounding area for example the pretty town of Myslenice, in the Mountains to the south of Krakow.

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

We understand that when you go on a music tour where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms generally en-suite.

Once your tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your concert requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. Until your departure, you simply need to prepare your musicians musically and compile the tour repertoire.

You should book your tour between 8-18 months in advance. This will give us time to find the best possible venues for your tour and you will have ample time for fundraising should you need to do so.
