Pope John Paul II Route
Pope John Paul II Route Itinerary
Begin the tour by climbing on an air-conditioned coach and sit back while you are driven 50 km to Wadowice, birthplace of Karol Józef Wojtyła.
Accompany your knowledgeable English-speaking guide to the main square of the town and into the Minor Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the most ancient temple in Wadowice. This church played a major role in the future pope’s early life, as he celebrated both his First Communion in 1929 and his Confirmation in 1938.
The next stop is Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Park, a very important place of pilgrimage, visited by thousands of people every year. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999 and still houses numerous spiritual events throughout the year.
Head back to Kraków and stop at the Divine Mercy Sanctuary, designated a sanctuary by Pope John Paul II before he became pope due to the remains of Saint Maria Faustyna Kowalska, the first 21st-century Christian saint.
