Since there were no guided tours in Spanish left, we joined a group with an English-speaking guide, and it turned out to be a great decision—the guide was fantastic. I don't remember her name, but she was truly exceptional. And the tour of the factory museum was well worth it.

Very good guide! The hole experience got four instead of five stars because it was not easy to understand where to meet up, should we be in the line or where should we wait? Also delayed by nearly 30 minutes and a bit crowded inside during the tour. This part was decided by the museum and not by our guide, who did a very good job and gave us a superintresring tour!

Skip the ticket line and head straight into Oskar Schindler’s Factory, a landmark of Krakow’s WWII history.

This landmark was a former enamelware factory run by the German Oskar Schindler, who saved the lives of more than 1000+ Jews.

It now has immersive exhibits on Krakow under Nazi occupation, including personal belongings and photographs of Jewish citizens and the Barbakan defense structure, a medieval remnant.

Walk through rooms that inspired the movie “Schindler’s List,” gaining insight into the city’s Jewish community and wartime resilience.

Upgrade for a guided tour to uncover personal stories, rare artifacts, and the impact of Schindler’s heroic actions during the Holocaust.

Enhance your visit with a walking tour of the Jewish Ghetto, led by a live guide sharing firsthand accounts and hidden history.

Alternatively, opt for a combo tour with the UNESCO-listed Wieliczka Salt Mine, complete with transport, headsets, and a professional guide.

Nice not to wait in line and headsets worked well I am a history teacher and was discipointed that it was more about WW2 and the occupation rather than Schindlers story and the factory aspect. Also the group was too big to see what she was talking about at the time so harder to follow.

I thought I was going to see the factory and learn more about what Oscar Schindler did to save the Jewish people. There is no option to press. I am going to choose one that is not want to consider. If I do not choose one, I cannot press Submit.
