Cycling day trip from Krakow to Niepołomice

This relaxed ride starts in the beautiful city of Krakow, known for its stunning Old Town and historic charm, then rolls eastward to the quieter town of Niepołomice. Covering just over 30 km, most of the route uses well-paved surfaces and dedicated cycleways, so it’s a smooth cruise overall—ideal for road bikes. The elevation is gentle, with hardly any serious climbs, and you’ll mostly descend as you leave Krakow.

You’ll pedal through a mix of cityscape, quiet neighborhoods, and eventually open countryside, getting a nice change of scenery along the way. The ride ends in Niepołomice, famous for its Renaissance castle (the "Lesser Wawel") and proximity to the lush Niepołomice Forest, prime for exploring if you want to extend your outdoor time. All in all, it’s a stress-free route whether you’re commuting, touring, or just up for a casual weekend adventure!
