Wieliczka Salt Mine and Oskar Schindler Factory guided half day tour from Krakow

4.5/5
4 reviews

Discover two of Krakow’s most important historical attractions in one day. Visit the UNESCO-listed Wieliczka Salt Mine and Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum with transportation from Krakow.

Your experience begins with hotel pickup and transfer in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. After a short drive, you'll join a guided tour of the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a unique underground world dating back to the 13th century. During the 2.5-hour visit, explore underground chambers, lakes, salt sculptures and the famous St. Kinga's Chapel. The tour is conducted by a licensed guide in groups of up to 35 participants.

After visiting the mine, continue to Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum, located in Schindler’s original enamel factory. Interactive exhibitions present the story of Krakow under Nazi occupation and the lives of its residents during World War II.

Admission to the museum is included. Please note that the museum visit is self-guided and does not include the services of a guide. Most visitors spend approximately 1.5 hours exploring the exhibitions independently.

The tour ends at Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum, located at Lipowa 4 in Krakow. Return transportation after the museum visit is not included.

    Thank you, we had a wonderful time in the most amazing city I have ever seen. The location was perfect, the apartment very clean and all the staff were very friendly. It was lovely to have a homely base to rest after all the walking. I would recommend to stay there.
