Itinerary

Day 1

The Wall may be over and done with, but many of Krakow's most famous communist artifacts are alive and well. Visit Nowa Huta, the district that still bears testament to the power of the Soviets. Most notably, our guides will lead you on an in-depth tour of the place that was originally gifted to Krakow by Stalin himself. These labyrinths of tenements were done in imitation of the renaissance and meant to be a model communist city. It later came to be one of the centers of revolution and resistance within Poland, leading to the eventual overthrow of the communist government.

This guided tour is complete with transportation in a genuine Trabant or Polski Fiat 125, cars manufactured by the Eastern Bloc specialists. During this approx. 2,5 hour tour, our guides will lead you through this one-of-a-kind city and up to the gates of the steel mill that was originally the heart of this district.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
