Visit Schindler’s Factory. However, be prepared for a large museum, not just a factory visit.

On the way there, take a look at the Empty Chair’s Memorial at the Ghetto Hero’s Square.

  5. I was just in Krakow a few weeks ago! Sadly my trip wasn’t as great as yours was. It was pouring rain the whole time we were there. We were denied entrance to Wavel Castle because tickets were sold out. And the tour we purchased to see the sights was disastrous! Krakow is on my ‘must return’ list so I can see the city properly!!! I did, however, make it to Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Schindler Factory (both really, really amazing). Thanks for sharing your ‘must see’ list…I’ll be sure to make note of it when I return to Krakow!!

    1. Oh my, I am sorry your trip was such a disaster!! Rain really can spoil all the fun. Maybe next time you should try to go in late Spring or early Fall 😀 Thank you for sharing!

  6. I went in November and had a blast! I played a couple of escape rooms and found a pinball museum which was pretty cool! I love that alleyway photo, I wish I had done more exploring there!

  11. I’ve never been to Poland, but my brother has and loved it. Not sure if he visted Krakow, but he loved Warsaw. Lovely pictures, Suvi! Your travel photos are always a delight.

    1. Thank you so much Britta! Great to hear that your brother enjoyed Poland, although I’m not surprised to hear that ☺️ Warsaw is also wonderful, I have been once and would love to go again. The Old Town there is very picturesque ❤️
