Medieval Kraków brims with beautiful Gothic churches and ancient monuments. Yet, in a mere 10 km from the Old Town, you can find a district called Nowa Huta, built after World War II by the communists as an ideal socialist urban area. We encourage you to discover this truly unique yet little-known part of Kraków. “Nowa Huta” in English means “new steel mill”. This mammoth manufacturing plant, along with a residential district for the steel mill workers, was built on the initiative of the communist government after the war. The district was meant to contrast with the ‘old’ Kraków with its religiosity, traditions, and anti-socialist sentiments.

On this 2-hour Nowa Huta walking tour, a local guide takes us through the construction history and utopian concepts of this socialist city.
