It is here, in this town of Wadowice,
where everything began: my life,
my studies, the theatre
and the priesthood

Itinerary

Day 1

The name of this small town, Wadowice, has become world-wide known for the fact that one of the greatest Poles in the history of the world was born and brought up here.
This man was nobody else but Karol Wojty�a, the future Pope John Paul II.
The town is an attractive destination both for pilgrims and tourists.
On the one hand, you may pay a nostalgic visit to the Pope�s family house; a flat in a terraced house where his parents, Emilia and Karol Wojty�a, moved in after the First World War.Now, the Pope�s family house has been turned into a museum and it draws 200,000 visitors a year.
On the other hand, there are so often remembered by the Pope tourist paths leading up Leskowiec hill and other beautiful nature spots in the Beskid Ma�y range.

After a strenuous walk you can rest on the picturesque banks of the Skawa River, which attract weary tourists with their unique beauty and tranquillity.
It�s surely worth taking a trip to this town to see with your own eyes the place with a bit of history and follow the footprints of the great man who may soon be declared a saint.
It�s a moving, sentimental trip, one which will make you stop and reflect on life for a while.
It�s simply good to be there, so why don�t you come along with us!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
