Embark on the pilgrimage route to Częstochowa, the religious and spiritual center of Poland, home to the Black Madonna, the most cherished relic of the country.
Half-Day Trip Details
We'll meet at the designated time at Plaza de Matejko and head to Częstochowa, a city 140 km (87 miles) northwest in the Silesia Province.
Częstochowa is an industrial town in southern Poland renowned for its magnificent abbey, the Jasna Góra Monastery, established by the Pauline monks in 1382. Jasna Góra has become a world-known site of pilgrimage because it houses a magnificent painting of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child.
The monastery became famous in the 17th century when three hundred men managed to protect it from a siege of 12000 Swedish armed men. This was considered the first miracle of the Black Madonna.
Nowadays, the relic of the Virgin Mary is the most revered relic in Poland and one of its national symbols.
After 6.5 hours, we'll conclude our day trip by returning to the meeting point in Kraków.
Day Trip Language
The journey to Częstochowa does not include a guide, but once you get to the destination the guided tour is exclusively in English.
