Summary/Abstract: The text was inspired by reviews of the book: Marek Wrede, Itinerarium króla Zygmunta III 1587–1632, Warsaw 2019, published in Studia Geohistorica, 9, 2021 (Magdalena Jakubowska) and Studia Źródłoznawcze, 59, 2021 (Karol Łopatecki). It takes up some of the problems raised by their authors (e.g. it corrects a part of the route of King Sigismund III’s voyage to Sweden in 1598, providing a chronology and map of the journey). Above all, however, it is a voice in favour of undertaking institutionalised research into the itineraries of the kings of the Commonwealth from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Signalling the problem, it presents the current state of such studies and attempts to formulate preliminary conditions for undertaking team studies into royal itineraries.
