The information from civitatis is misleading, it says two different times to be at the meeting point: 7:45 and 8:30. They should fix it, in the end I contacted the supplier and they gave me the correct time (7:45 a.m.). The very friendly driver took us to Czestochowa in a van since we were a total of 5 people and he stays as long as we need. The guide in Czestochowa is from the Jasna Góra sanctuary itself, with the guide generally good but he was quite rushed with the time.

Description

Embark on the pilgrimage route to Częstochowa, the religious and spiritual center of Poland, home to the Black Madonna, the most cherished relic of the country.

Half-Day Trip Details

We'll meet at the designated time at Plaza de Matejko and head to Częstochowa, a city 140 km (87 miles) northwest in the Silesia Province.

Częstochowa is an industrial town in southern Poland renowned for its magnificent abbey, the Jasna Góra Monastery, established by the Pauline monks in 1382. Jasna Góra has become a world-known site of pilgrimage because it houses a magnificent painting of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child.

The monastery became famous in the 17th century when three hundred men managed to protect it from a siege of 12000 Swedish armed men. This was considered the first miracle of the Black Madonna.

Nowadays, the relic of the Virgin Mary is the most revered relic in Poland and one of its national symbols.

After 6.5 hours, we'll conclude our day trip by returning to the meeting point in Kraków.

La información de civitatis conduce a error, pone dos horas diferentes a las que estar en el punto de encuentro 7:45 y 8:30. Deberían arreglarlo, al final contacté con el proveedor y me facilitó la hora correcta (7:45 h). El conductor muy amable, nos llevó hasta Czestochowa en una furgoneta ya que éramos en total 5 personas y se queda el tiempo que necesitemos. El guía en Czestochowa es del propio santuario Jasna Góra, con el guía en general bien pero iba bastante apurado con la hora. Translate this opinion into English.

Excursión muy interesante, especialmente para los católicos. Chofer de habla inglesa excepcional que gracias a él conseguimos visitar a la Virgen antes de su cierre (12h) El guía del monasterio muy bueno,pudimos hacer la visita, tiempo para rezar y permanecer en la capilla hasta que la virgen es tapada.. El horario de la excursión puede mejorarse ya que sino es por el buen hacer del chofer podríamos haber empezado una vez tapada la virgen. Sería mejor llegar a las 13.30 que se vuelve a abrir.

El conductor super majo, pero se va mucho tiempo en la carrerera y el tour luego es corto y para el precio que tiene no compensa. El museo estaba cerrado así que a pesar de estar incluído no lo hemos visto. Mucho tiempo en la carretera, y muy caro para lo que lo ves .
