Standard Meeting Point: We meet at the small square where Grodzka and Kanonicza streets meet, directly opposite the round bastion at the foot of Wawel Castle. You will find it near the memorial plaque for the famous Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek.

Flexible Meeting Point (Private Option Only):
I can meet you at your hotel or any other preferred location in the city center.
