Itinerary
Firstly, you will see Plac Centralny (Central Square) which is today’s center of Nowa Huta. You will learn about the district’s history and how it was developed between 1949 and 1989.
You will be taken on a walk through Aleja Roz (Avenue of Roses) where you will learn about the architecture of the district. Later on, you will see Tadeusz Sendzimir Steelworks (previously called Vladimir Lenin Steelworks during the Communist rule). After wandering through offices and conference rooms the guide will take you to an underground tunnel which leads to a shelter back from the 1950’s! Back on the ground, you will visit Arka Pana (Lord’s Ark) Church which was the first church built in Nowa Huta after inhabitants have been demanding it from the Communist government for years! The complex has been consecrated by Karol Wojtyla himself in 1977. Last but not least, you will be able to see real Soviet IS-2 tank in front of Museum of the Armed Act which is one of the most recognizable landmarks of Nowa Huta! The tour is around 3 hours long and after it, you will be taken back directly to your hotel.

About Krakow
Kraków, Poland's royal former capital, has a beautifully preserved medieval old town, crowned by Wawel Castle above the Vistula River.
The Main Market Square, one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, is lined with burghers' houses and centred on the arcaded Cloth Hall. St Mary's Basilica rises at one corner, its carved wooden altarpiece a Gothic masterpiece, and a trumpet call sounds from its tower through the day and night.
Top-ranked sights in Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, Rynek Glowny (Main Market Square), Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli).
