- wladyslaw h15 contributionsFantastic place, shops everywhere, every type of food you could wish for, street music……we’re not talking about a dude and his boombox ……we’re talking a full brass band, drums, tuba, trombone etc, horse drawn carriages that are illuminated in the evening…..too much to list, go there see itWritten 26 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BarbaraRiekwelCoatbridge, UK522 contributionsI have been to many a church, cathedral and basilica but this must be the most beautiful i have seen. It’s worth reading up about the history and the “artists”. The ceilings and some of the other areas look like they are made out of silk, rather than painted. It’s breathtaking really. The entrance price is a reasonable 15 zloty ( discount for kids and 60+) .Written 4 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jake CGreater Manchester, UK115 contributionsAs some other reviews elude to, this museum does offer more of an overview of the Nazi occupation of Poland rather than information about the factory itself.
Having said this, I still spent around 3 hours here because the exhibitions are varied and interesting, despite being extremely sad to read.
The museum is split into three floors and covers part of the former factory site. There is a particular focus on the treatment of Poles during Nazi occupation, and several exhibitions on cultural genocide (closure of educational institutions etc.)
A real strength of this museum is that the exhibitions are varied in the way that they are presented. There is lots to read but also a cinema room with first hand accounts of the war and lots of visual cues.
Given that entry cost me less than £7, I would say Schindler’s Factory is well worth a visit. Consider booking in advance because I had to queue for entry for approx. 20 minutes as I didn’t have a ticket.Written 25 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However, whilst reading the “rules” on their website I wasn’t sure whether to try it with being a woman on my own and I definitely didn’t want to go in alone! I called in at Lost Souls Alley (which is in the very centre of the old town) to see what was what. Despite putting the address in Google maps it’s hard to find. It’s not very well signposted and you have to go down an alleyway and up a flight of stairs to find the reception. The guy was very helpful and explained that 6 people are allowed per booking, so if I looked online for a time slot that had less than 6 spaces it would mean that someone else had already booked that slot. The booking system is my only complaint regarding LSA. I wanted to book the green version but it turns out you can only book pink/green and on arrival the whole group must decide which version they want to do. So if you turn up on the day and the other people outnumber you, you either have to cancel or do a version that you don’t want to! I booked a particular time slot for the following day but later received a phone call from LSA. They had noted that I was British but I’d booked on a time slot with Polish people. They offered me another time slot with English speaking people. I really appreciated the call and accepted the change of time slot but it makes me wonder why they don’t offer Polish/English/other language options on their booking system? The experience itself was amazing and very scary. Don’t expect too much in terms of “escape room” experiences. It’s very basic in so much as you’re usually looking for a key or way to escape the room. It’s more about the fear than challenging puzzles 🫣 It’s very dark and if you’re doing the green (hands on) experience the actors will touch you and try to separate you from the group but they won’t hurt you! I don’t want to give too much away, but the first room is probably the scariest because it’s pitch black and you don’t know what to expect. After that it becomes more scarily fun! The website warns that you might get injured. I scraped my arm and hand whilst running away from actors, but that was my own doing. I found it funny that the guy at reception had an antiseptic spray to hand so minor injuries are obviously common. You can pay a small amount to get photos of your experience shared on Flickr. You get a password and after 4 days you can access CCTV stills from your experience. It’s clear that no thought has gone into choosing these stills as they’re not the best images, but as you get over 100 images it’s reasonable value for money. The experience itself is 5 stars and I’d definitely do it again and recommend it to others. The booking system could do with some improvements and I don’t know why they don’t signpost themselves better from the street as they’d probably get more ad hoc bookings.Written 24 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TrudiwrEngland95 contributionsWhat a beautiful castle! The tent exhibition is incredible and definitely worth going to, but beware of the hoards of tourists and don’t go on a Monday when I believe it is free in the morning. It’s only cheap to go in and worth paying to avoid the crowds.Written 2 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shaul DHolon, Israel110 contributionsAfter a extremely emotional moving visit at Auschwitz camp, we took a large and calm tour at the Jewish quarter of Krakow, every stine on the road and every single brick from the walls is a witness of the darkest period of the Human HistoryWritten 24 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lilyella SLondon, UK5 contributionsThis was a truly unique experience, my eyes (?) were truly opened. The blind exhibition was so accommodating as they were able to make a last minute change for a tour in English for me (I was late to my start time!). I’m much more aware of my surroundings in ways I wasn’t before. I loved how interactive it was, experiencing life in the dark, as if I was blind.
The light exhibition was truly amazing as well, and I loved how interactive everything was - I was able to play instruments made from lasers and even a Theremin! (admittedly not well). I would highly recommend for anyone who likes fun and play really! Suitable for kids as well as adults (I had lots of fun and was by myself)Written 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Danielle RLeicester, UK820 contributionsWe bought tickets just for the cathedral rather than the castle. This filled a good few hours and was really interesting.

- ObiChanKenobiNottingham, UK38 contributionsAfter exploring the Old Town Square, we stumbled across Muzeum Krakowa (given that it’s based under the main building and ticket office on the other side of the building), we paid approx. £10 each for entry into the museum. In the ticket office, there is a coin souvenir machine for a small takeaway before entering the museum.
Entering the museum is easy enough however keeping track of each exhibition is not so thus we had a good explore of the museum itself and each exhibition which includes relics of the past (combs, jewellery etc.), a floor map of medical trade routes, videos and interactive digital booklets which shed light on the history of the city.
There are also mock graves, wells with skeletons and utensils, and 3D models of what the medieval city looked like, along with large sections of road which shows how each era built for carriages to travel.
There was a tour guide which I stuck close to at points as they further expanding on the lore of the city in enthusiastic and engaging dialogue.
The entire museum takes around 2+ hours to fully complete which ends with a series of mini-cinema rooms showing how the museum was built and constructed in the early 2000s, and finished with a small gift shop.Written 30 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
