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.

Explore the recreated Jewish ghetto: Allocate time to walk through this immersive installation for perspective on daily life under Nazi occupation.
Guided tours add context: A local guide can explain the motivations behind Schindler’s actions and the stories behind artifacts you might otherwise overlook.
Combine wisely with nearby experiences: Consider a combo tour with the Kraków Ghetto or Kazimierz district to see how wartime life contrasted with the pre-war Jewish quarters.
Plan for audio-visual exhibits: Some rooms feature sensitive multimedia content; headphones are recommended for clear narration without distraction.
Take note of small artifacts: Original maps, personal effects, and office furniture reveal nuances of factory operations and wartime survival strategies.

The tour was brilliant and the tour guide very good and funny too, the hole place is amazing, but be prepared to walk a lot of stairs, once deep inside the mine it's an amazing place and huge, a lot to take in a see. Very good tour, from pickup to return, very well organised.

In your own words: Write a very positive review about the Krakow to Zakopane Day Trip with Chochołów Thermal Spa, Cable Car, and Transportation Included. Our guide was Antoni. In ChatGPT's words:
The day trip from Krakow to Zakopane with admission to Chochołów Thermal Spa, cable car, and transportation included completely exceeded our expectations! It was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our trip to Poland.
The organization was impeccable from the start: comfortable transportation, punctual schedules, and a very well-structured program, which allowed us to enjoy every moment without rushing or worrying. The scenery along the way is simply breathtaking, and Zakopane has a unique charm with its typical architecture and cozy mountain atmosphere.
The cable car provided absolutely incredible views of the Tatra Mountains — a memorable and perfect moment for photos. The Chochołów Thermal Spa was the ideal balance between relaxation and fun. The thermal pools are excellent, very well maintained, and set in a wonderful natural setting. It was the perfect end to an already fantastic day.
A very special mention goes to our guide, Antoni. Extremely professional, friendly, and always available, he made the whole experience even more enriching. He demonstrated a deep knowledge of the region, sharing interesting information and curiosities along the way, always in good spirits and attentive to the group. We felt accompanied and well cared for at all times.
We 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krakow. It is a complete experience, combining nature, culture, adventure, and relaxation—and with a guide like Antoni, it becomes simply unforgettable!
