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 lunch without drinks

Day 2: Krakow: Schindler's Factory museum with former ghetto & Wieliczka Salt mine
Schindler’s Factory presents the daily life and tragic events that took place in Krakow during World War II. The home of the museum is the site of the Schindler’s Factory shown in the Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" by Stephen Spielberg. The unusual and modern exhibition of the museum will not leave anyone indifferent.
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.
