We were worried that in the freezing temperatures that the car would be cold but it was surprisingly warm. We had headsets that explained the history of key buildings (castle and churches) but the best part of the tour was the historical tour of the Jewish Quarter and scenes of the ghetto during the Second World War. We visited Schindler's factory too which was excellent.

Super leuke fietstour gehad! Mike, onze gids heeft ons naar plekken gebracht waar je anders niet komt. Heerlijke lunch gehad in een lokaal restaurant. Een aanrader!

Fun trip. Covered all the main sites. Very cycle friendly city.
