Begin your Kraków History Tour with a Guided Walking Tour of the city, discovering its historic streets and landmarks, followed by a Guided Tour of Schindler’s Factory, now a museum showcasing the wartime experiences of Kraków during the Second World War. The next day, take a fascinating guided visit to the Wieliczka Salt Mines, before relaxing in the afternoon at Park Wodny, Poland’s largest indoor water park, complete with pools, slides and attractions.
The historical focus deepens with a visit to the Rynek Underground Museum, located beneath the Market Square, where you can explore excavated medieval merchant stalls and gain a unique perspective on the city’s past. Continue to the former Gestapo HQ – People of Kraków in Times of Terror Exhibition, which highlights the impact of both Nazi and Communist regimes, before enjoying time in the lively Rynek Główny, famous for its cafés, street performers and the Bugler’s Call. On your final day, take a poignant Guided Tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp, before some free time for shopping at Galeria Krakówska or further sightseeing in this historic city.
