Hop on your bike for a beautiful ride from Krakow to Tarnów! This smooth 123 km route takes you east out of Krakow, Poland’s beloved former royal capital, and leads you through rolling countryside with barely noticeable elevation changes—perfect for enjoying the views rather than struggling with hills.

You’ll stick mostly to paved paths and designated cycleways, so it’s a relaxed journey without much traffic, letting you soak up the scenery and local villages along the way. The route is mostly asphalt and very comfortable for road bikes. Expect a couple of short stretches with paving stones, but nothing rough or technical.
