Pope John Paul II is related with many places in Poland but the most important remains Wadowice – his hometown located in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, approx. 50 km from Krakow. Karol Wojtyla was born here in 1920 and lived here until 1938. Then he moved to Krakow. However, town of Wadowice was still present in his heart. He mentioned about his hometown many times during the 26 years pontificate. In 2014 Holy Father John Paul II Family Home Museum was opened here. The heart of the museum is the flat in which Karol Wojtyla was born and raised. We invite you for one day trip from Krakow to show you this special place. Besides that, you will have a chance to visit Market Square where the future pope was meeting his friends, Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary where he was baptized and received his First Holy Communion. In the short distance from the Market Square you can taste favourite cake of Karol Wojtyla – famous Kremowka.
