See some of Krakow's top sights on this guided day tour. Learn the story of Oskar Schindler at his factory, remember the victims of the Holocaust at the Empty Chair Monument, and explore one of Europe's oldest salt mines, Wieliczka.
Begin your day with a tour with a licensed museum guide of Schindler's factory. Learn about the story of this German entrepreneur featured in the movie Schindler's List, who helped many Jewish people during WWII.
Then, walk through the streets of Podgórze Ghetto and see evidence of the tragic history of WWII. See a part of the wall around the ghetto, houses where thousands of displaced Jews used to live, the pharmacy Under the Eagle, and the Empty Chair Monument in Heroes' Square, with 68 symbolic chairs.
Next, drive to Wieliczka, a small town outside Krakow. Visit one of the largest old salt mines in Europe at your own pace without a guide. Stroll around underground and see 20 halls, including the largest, St. Kinga's Church, named for the patroness of miners.
Admire the underground church's interior, richly decorated with chandeliers and sculptures of saints carved out of salt. Experience the special curative microclimate in the mine and learn about the sanatorium deep below ground.
