Itinerary

Your tour begins at Schindler’s Factory Museum

Meet your guide outside Schindler’s Factory Museum at Lipowa 4 and check in with the group. Soon, you'll enter this former enamel factory, now one of Kraków’s most visited WWII sites.

Skip the lines and enter the museum

Bypass the long ti cket lines and head inside with your guide. Once through the doors, you’ll see an immersive exhibition designed to feel like occupied Kraków.

Follow the “Kraków under Nazi Occupation” route

Move room to room through recreated streetscapes, propaganda, and everyday objects that map how the city changed after 1939. Along the way, your guide explains what each space represents and why it matters.

Learn how the occupation reshaped daily life

Next, focus on the lived experience behind the dates and headlines, from restrictions and fear to survival strategies. Your guide connects artifacts, photographs, and soundscapes into a clear story you can follow.

Understand Schindler’s story in full context

Then, zoom in on Oskar Schindler’s factory and the workers it sheltered, without losing sight of the wider history around it. You leave with a grounded view of courage, coercion, and the stakes of wartime Kraków.

Your tour ends at Schindler’s Factory Museum

Finish back near the entrance so you can keep exploring Podgórze or head toward Kazimierz afterward. Take a moment to decompress, because the exhibition is powerful and deliberately intense.
