Step Into Oskar Schindler’s Factory

Your adventure starts with skip-the-line access to Oskar Schindler’s Factory, guided by a knowledgeable expert. Discover how Schindler helped save the lives of more than a thousand Jewish residents during World War II.

Thought-provoking exhibits use multimedia displays to depict the lives and fates of local people, bringing history powerfully to life.

Stroll through Krakow’s former ghetto, Podgórze, where the physical traces of the Holocaust remain visible: see a preserved portion of the ghetto wall, houses that once sheltered displaced families and the famous Pharmacy Under the Eagle. Pause at Heroes’ Square, marked by its striking 68 empty chairs memorializing the lost residents of the ghetto. These sites serve as poignant reminders of the city’s courageous yet tragic history, revealing the depths of human resilience and hope under adversity.

Guided Visit to Wieliczka Salt Mine

After exploring Krakow’s wartime legacy, travel comfortably with included transfers to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Descend into a different world as your licensed guide leads you along a 3-kilometer tourist route, passing through more than 20 awe-inspiring halls beneath the earth.

Admire the legendary Chapel of St. Kinga, illuminated by chandeliers fashioned from rock salt and adorned with Biblical carvings and saintly statues, all sculpted from salt deposits.
