The wooden churches of southern Little Poland represent outstanding examples of the different aspects of medieval church-building traditions in Roman Catholic culture. Built using the horizontal log technique, common in eastern and northern Europe since the Middle Ages. The wooden church style of the region originated in the late Medieval, the late sixteenth century, and began with Gothic ornament and polychrome detail, but because they were timber construction, the structure, general form, and feeling is entirely different from the gothic architecture or Polish Gothic (in stone or brick). Later construction show Rococo and Baroque ornamental influence. The form of these Roman Catholic churches is deeply influenced by the Greco-Catholic and Orthodox presence in the region.

Treat yourself to an evening tasting tour of traditional Polish spirits! We will visit several local bars and pubs located in the Kazimierz district, which is the centre of nightlife for young Cracovians, together with an experienced guide and an expert in Polish spirits and distillery history.

Vodka is always served with "snacks" according to Polish tradition – something we are about to taste in our intimate group as well. And Poland has so much more to offer than just vodka! We are awaited by great pubs in Kazimierz, offering excellent craft beers made in Kraków, and bars where we will try some unique Polish alcohol with a pedigree even older than vodka.
