Highly recommend Schindler’s Factory. The museum is incredibly informative, immersive, and deeply inspiring. It does an excellent job of bringing Kraków’s history during WWII to life in a way that’s engaging and respectful, making it meaningful for both adults and kids. The exhibits pull you in room by room, and you leave with a much stronger understanding of the human stories behind the history. Definitely buy skip-the-line tickets. They were absolutely worth it...especially when we saw long standby lines outside in the cold. It made the experience smoother and allowed us to focus fully on the museum rather than waiting. A powerful and memorable visit that shouldn’t be missed while in Kraków.

I think the best part about my visit was the KNOWLEDGE our tour guide had. He explained everything in details, answered questions and even shared his own experiences which made this trip memorable. I visited the museum for many reasons but my main one was to learn about my heritage, our tour guide shared so much history with me I struggled to keep my emotions in. There were soo many things to look at from hand written letters to personal belongings, pictures and other. This place is 1000% worth visiting, as its a place full of memories and at the end of the tour you will definitely have a different look on life. Thank you so much

It's an excellent place to visit and the factory is really well laid out to learn about the history from before the war until the end of war. It covers some really key parts. However the tour itself felt very rushed, we missed some parts because we wanted to read some of the information on the boards as well. It was a big so it wasn't always possible to hear the tour guide if you ended up at the back. I'd love to go back to the museum but I think next time we'd do it at our own pace. Tour guide was also late, and we'd arrived the 15 mins early it said to. In this weather that wasn't fun.

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.

The museum is a treasure time capsule which allows a rare look into the past. It was most communicative and felt as if we were travelling in time. I highly recommend it to everyone! 🙏

First of all, the name of this tour should be corrected to "World War II Museum and Information about Oscar Shkinler." The tour is generally well-documented, with nice photos illustrating Krakow's history and World War II, but the Oscar Shindler is only featured in a small part of it. In any case, nice tour for Krakow history and Schindler's job. I quitted the tour early because of another scheduled tour for Wawel Castle. I joinef another tour guide for Getto. I like it much, tour guide was a man graduated from Jewish history. Wall, park, Getto history and houses were perfectly described.

More than a factory it is a museum and should be advertised as such. The guide.m, being an expert in the field spoke too fast without taking into account that although the tour was in English there was no native speaker in the group. He made no effort to be understood by all of us.

Ewa was our handler, and Ewa (another Ewa) was our guide. She was brilliant! She gave us context before starting the journey, which served as critical point of view for our group. Thank you.

The projection of images and photos was very good. See about adding languages other than English and Polish, as we waste a lot of time translating texts.
