Top Krakow Attractions & Museums - page 3

This in-depth tour is well-suited to travelers with limited time; visit two top attractions on the same day—Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory museum, and Wieliczka Salt Mine. Skip the long ticket lines at Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory and then travel seamlessly to Wieliczka, where you can visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed salt mine.

See the factory depicted in Spielberg’s 1993 film “Schindler’s List," which was used during World War II to make weapons using Jewish camp laborers. Learn about Schindler as the founder and how he contributed to saving approximately 1200 Jewish lives. Tour the exhibition and former outbuilding. Feel free to visit the temporary exhibition in your free time at the end of the tour. Benefit from a thorough exhibition that covers Polish history during the Second World War, as well as the life of Oskar Schindler himself. See the former farm building of the factory, where you can find the original entrance gate and photos of several hundred survivors on the building facade.

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, the most notorious of all Nazi concentration camps, demands some preparation so choose from two tour options for your visit. Either explore the somber site at your own pace, with the help of an included ebook to prepare, or choose a tour and learn all about the camp's history from your guide. Either option includes transfers from Krakow.

Explore Krakow in a uniquely deep way with a tour into the Wieliczka Salt Mine. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a labyrinth reaching 327m at its deepest parts. You’ll skip the entrance line and walk with your guide for a tour stretching almost 3km in length. Listen to the legend of St. King, learn about the life of miners, and photograph this site that’s over 700 years old.

Swap Krakow sightseeing for a day trip to one of Poland’s biggest amusement parks—Energylandia. Instead of waiting around for public transport, enjoy the perk of having pickup included—directly from your Krakow accommodation, as well as admission to the park. Once inside, explore Energylandia’s many attractions at your own pace—including roller coasters, water rides, cinemas, and shows—before a return transfer to Krakow.

This is a great pick for families visiting Krakow. Swap city sightseeing for a visit to Gojump MEGAPARK—one of Poland’s biggest trampoline and inflatable parks. Prebooking your entry allows you to bypass people lining up to buy tickets, and get to the action quicker—at a time that suits you.

Experience the diversed folk culture and the crystal clear air of the Polish highlands. Zakopane - the tourist centre of winter sports and mountain tourism is located at foot of the Tatra Mountains. The town offers many monuments of old wooden architecture built in the peculiar, local style (so called "zakopane style"). After you get to Zakopane, you can enjoy a cable car ride up the Gubałówka Mountain and then a walk along its ridge to Butorowy Wierch or Szymoszkowa maedow. Next you will go down on a chairlift to take a walk around the Old Town of Zakopane. In the town you will visit the charming old parish church & unique cemetery, Willa Koliba (museum of the "zakopane style") and the finest example of the zakopane style: Jaszczurówka Chapel. Some time for lunch at Krupówki Street (nowadays the main street in the town)and your own explorations of the enormous regional market will make your experience complete.

Discover Energylandia, an amazing world of fun and adventure for the whole family, without worrying about the hassle of transportation.

Learn about the story of the famous Polish artist Tadeusz Kantor. Feast your eyes on magnificent permanent and temporary exhibitions. Visitors to the permanent exhibition for the first time will have the opportunity to see, among other things, the Great Emballage of the late 20th century from the play I'll Never Come Back Here and the Barricade from Let the Artists Die. In addition to the museum mentioned above, you get access to 39 other museums in Krakow for 3 days, which you can visit for free with the Krakow card.

A unique experience where in total darkness you will feel on your own skin what it is like to be blind. You will experience everyday situations using all your senses except sight. You will be accompanied by a blind guide who will answer all your questions. It is a great lesson in empathy and an unforgettable experience that paradoxically opens your eyes.
