Highlights
Our 3-hour tour with a licensed guide of Schindler's Factory and the former Jewish ghetto site provides a splendid occasion to discover the Kraków 2WW history. The tour starts with a visit to Schindler's Factory, the most visited museum in Kraków. While visiting the permanent exhibition we shall become comprehensively acquainted with the history of the war-time German occupation of Kraków. The exhibition brings us up to date with the fate of Poles, Germans, and Jews in occupied Kraków – from the outbreak of war to the questionable "liberation" of the city by the Red Army in January 1945. Equipped with the knowledge acquired at the museum, we will set out for the former Ghetto. The locations and historical events discussed in the museum will be shown by our guide in the authentic surroundings in which they took place. Visiting the "Emalia" Factory and the ghetto in one tour allows you to fully grasp and understand the complicated fate of Kraków and its inhabitants during 2WW.

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).
