Set away from the city’s busiest circuits, the PRIVATE Souvenir-Making Sustainable Workshop leads you into Podgórze, a green, community-minded district of Kraków. Over roughly three hours you’ll share homemade Polish cake, taste craft beer, and work alongside a local specialist to create a traditional, upcycled souvenir — all on a tour run in partnership with a local organisation that channels proceeds to aid people experiencing homelessness.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Off-the-Beaten-Path Podgórze

The route takes you into Podgórze — described as one of Kraków’s greenest districts — giving a quieter, more local perspective of the city and offering access to some of its best pedestrian views.

THE CRAFT

Make an Eco-Friendly, Traditional Souvenir

With a local specialist you’ll create a handmade souvenir from natural, upcycled materials, supporting the preservation of traditional arts and crafts while taking home something truly unique.

THE TASTE

Homemade Cake and Local Craft Beer

The experience pairs hands-on making with local flavors: expect a portion of homemade Polish cake and a sample of craft beer from a nearby mountain microbrewery as part of the workshop.
