ITINERARY

2,5 hours

The Berlin Wall may have fallen, the Iron Curtain cracked, but many of Communism’s most famous legacies are alive and well in Krakow. Visit and discover Krakow’s centrally-planned Socialist district of Nowa Huta, complete with steelworks and houses built in the Renaissance style of the Soviets. This unique project was meant to be a model Communist city, but later came to be one of the centres of revolution and resistance within Poland. During our tour, you will travel back in time in a genuine Trabant automobile to experience the wonders of this one-of-a-kind city. Not only will you discover how the average Pole lived, worked and played under Communism, but stories and anecdotes from your laid-back local guide will bring the “good old days” back to life!
