Description
Explore Krakow's historical gems in one day: Start at Schindler's Factory, then visit the former Jewish Ghetto, and conclude with a trip to the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Embark on a tour with a licensed museum guide of Schindler's Factory, immortalized in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List." Learn about the courageous acts of Oskar Schindler, a German entrepreneur who saved many Jews during the war.
Following this, stroll through the streets of Podgórze to witness the remnants of the Second World War. See the intact section of the ghetto wall, former residences of displaced Jews, the historic "Under the Eagle" pharmacy, and the poignant Empty Chair Monument in Heroes' Square.
Then, transition to the second part of the tour with a drive to Wieliczka, a town 10 kilometers from Krakow. Explore one of Europe's largest old salt mines at your own pace, descending 340 meters into the 700-year-old mine. Wander through over 245 kilometers of corridors and tunnels, marveling at 20 halls, including the majestic St. Kinga's Church. Admire the church's salt-carved sculptures and chandeliers, and experience the unique microclimate of the mine, including a sanatorium located 135 meters below ground.
