The Benedictine Abbey

Explore the Oldest Benedictine Abbey in Krakow with a Bike Tour to Tyniec

The Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec holds the distinction of being the oldest in Krakow, while the Benedictine order itself is the oldest in Poland. Founded in the 11th century by Prince Kazimierz the Restorer, the Benedictines were granted lands on the rocky terrain where the monastery stands today. Here, we delve into the history of the abbey, including its role in significant uprisings.

Our bike tour, led by a licensed guide, takes you along scenic boulevards bordering the Vistula River, passing through the Zwierzyniec district – once an independent settlement with a pagan temple. We'll return on the opposite riverbank, where we'll pause for a delightful lunch featuring excellent apple pie, and you can relax in a hammock or on a sun lounger.
