Tour Overview

As part of this 3-day package of excursions, we offer, first of all, to get acquainted with the monuments of Jewish culture in Krakow. A guided walk around the Kazimierz district will be the best opportunity for this - see authentic streets, houses, cafes and synagogues, feel the atmosphere of the former Jewish district. In the following points of the program, we will reach the times of the German occupation and the tragedy of the Jewish inhabitants of Krakow - it will be illustrated by a visit to the Schindler Museum and the former ghetto in Podgórze. The culmination will be a trip to Oświęcim and a visit to the complex of Nazi concentration camps Auschwitz-Birkenau in which millions of people were murdered.

Itinerary

Day 1: Krakow: Jewish quarter Kazimierz, Schindler Factory museum and former Ghetto in Podgorze district

Visit the Kazimierz district - this is where Jewish culture once flourished, the preserved traces of which have survived to this day. Szeroka Street is the centre of old Jewish culture surrounded by old synagogues, palaces and majestic houses from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

Day 2: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum from Krakow

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.

Day 3: Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow

The salt mine in Wieliczka is definitely worth visiting! Ballroom, concert hall, art gallery, shrine - all made of salt and located underground. The tourist route through the Wieliczka Mine passes by chambers and drifts, salt and wooden chapels, brine lakes, and around you there are breathtaking views. The walk resembles an expedition not only deep into the Earth, but also into the depths of history. Mining machines, tools, traces of manual salt extraction - all this fits into the story of people and the place that they have created over the centuries. The sacred places of the mine, including the delightful chapel of St. Kinga, create a unique, unique in Europe, and perhaps in the world, underground pilgrimage route.
