The Oskar Schindler Museum in Krakow is an extraordinarily moving and essential experience for any visitor. It masterfully chronicles the horrific process endured by Polish Jewry, from initial isolation and confiscation of property to the ultimate tragedy in the gas chambers. The exhibition achieves this with a remarkable level of accuracy and authenticity, truly recreating the historical experience for the modern visitor. Excellent use of immersive elements, such as the replica ghetto wall and textured flooring, powerfully brings the dark past to life. The simulation of a railway station platform is particularly haunting, placing visitors directly into a moment of devastating uncertainty. Through superb curatorial choices and impactful staging, the museum tells a story that is both informative and deeply emotional. The use of original artifacts, photographs, and personal testimonies provides an authentic and reliable account of wartime Krakow. Visitors gain a profound understanding not just of the war, but of the immense moral courage displayed by a few. The story of Oskar Schindler, the "Righteous Among the Nations," is rightly highlighted as a beacon of hope against a backdrop of unimaginable darkness. His enduring place in the memory of humanity as a savior of lives is a central, powerful takeaway. This museum is a poignant tribute to both the victims and the extraordinary individuals who stood against evil. We left the museum with a lasting impression of the resilience of the human spirit.

Beautiful tour. We were fortunate to have Chiara as our guide; she took us on a journey back in time through the history of Poland during the Third Reich years, starting from the outbreak of the War and ending with the fall of the Nazi regime. I discovered stories and tales not usually read in books. Super recommended tuor 😁

Wow,just wow. The whole experience was fantastic. Well organised, knowledgeable guide( excellent English and so proud of her towns history). A good, brisk tour, she crammed a lot of information in and the time flew. Truly spectacular chapels and visuals( was so impressed with the statue of Pope John Paul II). Would recommend to anyone though legs were sore the next day but well worth it and one of the highlights of our stay in Krakow.

A very fascinating visit, where it's hard to imagine everything that happened here... but a really great guide, who explained everything really well! The pace may be a little brisk, and the site is not suitable for people with reduced mobility, but it's an unforgettable historical tour!

The tour was very well organized. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. He also translated for us on the tour. Auschwitz-Birkenau was a powerful experience. Parts felt a little rushed- but there is so much to see, and they are large sites to cover in the amount of time allotted. That being said, I learned so much and appreciated how our guide shared the stories about what happened here. The salt mines were a wonderful experience as well! The sculptures are beautiful, and the tour sharing the history of the mines was very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour.

Things to know before booking your Oskar Schindlers Factory tickets

Pre-booking is recommended: Schindler’s Factory is a popular site in Krakow, and guided tours often sell out. Booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance is highly recommended.
Standard ticket includes: Entry at your chosen time slot. View the permanent exhibition detailing life under Nazi occupation, wartime artifacts, and installations related to the factory’s operations and workers. Your exploration is self-guided, but possibly less immersive.
Opt for guided tours instead: Choose from guides who can speak English, German, Spanish, French, German, or Polish. They'll share less-obvious details, like the fact that Oskar Schindler wasn't always selfless, and his motivations were complex.
Combo tours for the extra edge: Deepen your understadning of WW2 history with combos to the Krakow Ghetto, the Kazimierz district, and Auschwitz-Birkenau. To explore different facets of Polish history, book combos with Wawel Castle or Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Transfers for combos: Round-trip transfers are included for most combo experiences, eliminating logistical worries and ensuring you can focus on the historical and cultural context. However, confirm if your ticket offers transfers before booking.
Closures and special dates: Guided tours do not operate on Mondays, the free-entry day. If you'd like to visit on a Monday, you still have to purchase a ticket, although the number of slots is limited. The site is closed on the first Tuesday of each month.
Timing & duration: Standard visits take around 1.5–2 hours. Combo tours may last a full day depending on additional sites and travel time between locations.
Accessibility & age considerations: The museum is generally accessible, but some exhibits include stairs or uneven flooring. Children under 14 years may find certain displays distressing due to sensitive content.
