To leave behind those feelings of desolation and sadness, we must take the Excursion to the Wieliczka Salt Mines. In this peculiar place you will discover about twenty decorated rooms, some pretty underground lakes, plus sculptures and bas-reliefs made in different types of salt blocks.

The different tools used by the workers of that time will also be appreciated. But the most striking point of the tour is the Chapel of St. Kinga. It is a majestic room of more than 50 meters of built length and decorated entirely in salt.

Another interesting tour to perform is the Free tour of Krakow Free! The journey begins through the beautiful streets of Old Town (Old City) until you reach the Marketplace. This square has two emblematic points of the city, the Basilica of Santa María as well as the Cloth Hall.

Between the streets of the Stare Miasto you can see the traces of the medieval era, an example of this is the Barbican as well as the Door of San Florián (main entrance to the extinct walled city). They will also contemplate the Tower of the Old Town Hall, Church of San Pedro and San Pablo, as well as the Wawel Castle.

If you are one of the people who saw the spectacular Steven Spielberg movie "Schindler's List", you will surely want to know more about this character. For many he was one of the few Germans with a conscience at a time where many lacked it.

La Guided tour of the Schindler factory It is an excellent way to learn a little more about this man and how he did to save the lives of more than a thousand Jewish citizens. How he was able to be ruined for protecting his employees from the greatest massacre of mankind. The factory has now been converted into a museum. In it you can see the different rooms that made up the factory, the different workshops and offices that were occupied by the Jews to carry out their daily work.

Today each of these places has photographic and auditory samples from the congregation of Jews that were kept safe there. You can appreciate the skills that Schindler did to keep his workers alive. But the most important thing is to witness how someone who started with a somewhat selfish idea (hiring Jews for cheap labor) ends up becoming a protector for them.

You can also learn more about the Jewish culture and people through the Free tour of the Jewish quarter of Krakow Free! This tour will allow you to move around the streets of the old Jewish ghetto that lived so much misery. You will discover the hidden beauty of Kazimiers, a town that has a vast representation of Jewish architecture.

This bridge has a length of 130 meters and is designed to be traveled on foot or by bike. It has an aerodynamic design that is complemented by the wiring and metallic figures that make it up, these can move along with the bridge thanks to the action of the wind.
