Kraków Highlights with Wieliczka & Auschwitz (3 Days)｜Poland

Your journey begins in Kazimierz, Krakow’s historic Jewish Quarter, where Jewish and Christian communities coexisted for centuries. Stroll through atmospheric streets, pass historic synagogues, and listen to stories that reveal the richness of pre-war Jewish life, faith, and tradition.

Continue to Schindler’s Factory, one of Krakow’s most impactful museums. Through immersive exhibitions, discover the realities of Nazi occupation and the stories of those who endured, resisted, and helped others through courage and compassion.

The day concludes in the area of the former Jewish Ghetto in Podgórze. See preserved fragments of the ghetto wall, pause at Ghetto Heroes Square with its symbolic Chair Memorial, and view the Under the Eagle Pharmacy—a powerful symbol of wartime solidarity and remembrance.

On the second day, visit Wawel Hill, the royal heart of Poland. Explore Wawel Castle, home to Renaissance art and royal treasures, and step inside Wawel Cathedral, where Polish kings were crowned and laid to rest. After a traditional Polish lunch at a nearby bistro, continue to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, descending into a remarkable underground world of chambers and salt-carved chapels, guided by an in-house expert.

On the final day, travel to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, one of the most significant remembrance sites in the world. With an official museum guide, visit preserved barracks, exhibitions, and memorials honouring the victims of the Holocaust. The tour concludes with your return to Krakow, offering time for quiet reflection after three days of discovery, history, and remembrance.
