What if you would like to turn your visit in Krakow into a journey to remember...
There are some places we recommend you to see.
"Wieliczka" Salt Mine, Miners' Route
It is a new attraction of the well known underground museum of the UNESCO list.
If you are tired with regular museum visiting, this is something for you! For 3 hours you will turn into a miner, get dirty for sure (special overalls included), explore some rare places and bring some salt crystals as a souvenir. The only thing you need is to take a train from the Main Railway Station in Krakow. In about 30 min. you will come from the heart of Krakow to a historical salt mining town.
Take the chance as in October visiting prices are reduced to a half!
Rynek Underground - On the trail of Krakow's European identity
Ever wondering how modern cities looked like in the Dark Ages?
Rynek Undergound, located just below the Main Market Square in Krakow, offers the chance. It is a unique place, where history combines with archaeology and modern techniques.
This certainly is one of Krakow's must-see-places!
The Lost Wawel
Wawel is a royal castle, but beside state rooms, royal private apartments or a cathedral, the crowning place of Polish kings, there is an archaeological path, there, that will lead you through the history of the unique place.
After visiting it is worth spending a while relaxing at the Renaissance arcade courtyard of the castle and feel the atmosphere of the past epochs still present.
Oscar Schindler's Factory
Have you seen the famous Spielberg's movie "The Schindler's List"?
Events pictured in the movie belong to Krakow's modern history and the Schindler's factory "Emalia" was turned into a museum. There you will take a trip through the city of Krakow in its tragical episode of the Nazi occupation illustrated with real objects, not a Hollywood vision.
A history not to be forgotten and a great museum!
