Itinerary

Day 1: Krakow: Wawel Hill (Royal Castle and Cathedral) & Rynek Underground Museum

Undoubtedly, the heart of Krakow is the residence of Polish kings - the Wawel Royal Castle with its Gothic cathedral. Visiting this symbolic place, we will see a rich collection of paintings, prints, sculptures, fabrics, goldsmiths, militaria, porcelain and furniture, recreating the appearance of rooms from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. We will visit the Royal Chambers with the famous tapestries of Zygmunt August and wonderful Italian Renaissance paintings from the Lanckoroński collection. We will also enter the Wawel Cathedral and admire the Gothic structure that was once the sanctuary where Polish monarchs were crowned. All this, of course, will be colored by stories and curiosities from an experienced guide.

Lunch: 2 course menu without drinks

Day 2: Krakow: Schindler's Factory museum & Wieliczka Salt mine

The Ghetto Heroes Square is a square in the Podgórze district of Krakow. In the years 1941–1943 it was within the ghetto. It was a place of concentration of the Jewish population before transport to concentration camps. Currently, there is an unusual monument in this place - several dozen cast-iron chairs standing individually in the square. They symbolize the items left over from the liquidation of the ghetto.

Day 3: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum from Krakow

The program will be concluded with a visit to the notorious former concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Driving from Krakow will take us about 1.5 hours. On site, during an over 3-hour walking tour with a local guide, we will see the authentic places where millions of prisoners lived and died - victims of human cruelty. Prison barracks, walls of death, assembly squares, unloading ramps, the ruins of crematoria, personal belongings and documents are silent witnesses of those events and today they are supposed to bear the memory of them never again. Return to Krakow will take place in the evening.
