History
The best museum about Kraków under occupation, in the real factory from the film. Book it, because it sells out.
The exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945” fills the factory where Oskar Schindler employed and protected his Jewish workers. It tells the story of the whole city, room by room, and it is very well made.
I combine it with a walk through Podgórze, the former ghetto across the river, so the places in the museum become streets you stand in.
Yes. But the exhibition is about the whole city under occupation, and Schindler’s story is one part of it. That is exactly what makes it so strong.
The most important visit of your trip. I plan it with care: a good guide, the right time of day and quiet space afterwards.
Chapels, lakes and chandeliers carved out of salt, deep under the ground. Or put on a helmet for the miners’ route.
Where Polish kings were crowned and buried. I pick the rooms worth your time, so you don’t queue for the ones that aren’t.
