A very pretty museum with very well-presented reconstructions of scenes from life... total immersion! However, we had 3 minor drawbacks: -all in all, very little about the factory and Schindler...we expected more! -our arrival: confused! No information on where to go with our queue-cutting tickets! Little or no incantation! - French language requested: but unfortunately no French audioguide. Comments in Polish or English! So unfortunately and regrettably we were only able to look at the photos and do a few translations via Google translation! But all in all, the museum is very pretty! And a very friendly, smiling young lady was a great help.
The enterance to Schindler's factory in Kroakow was orgnized very well, we enterd on time and got hearing divice. The guide and the guidness in the museum was very good and intresting. This experience is very recomended.
All the installations were amazing and made you feel like you really were walking through Krakow in the 40s. Our guide was also very good, and so interesting to listen to.
Good organization although it seemed clandestine, good guide who spoke very good English. She did speed here and there but she was on hour and time so understandable. It is a mustsee in Krakow
Easier find our guild at the door, quick entrance, easy to hear everyone supplied ear pieces, guild knowledge while experience was engaging
It was so smooth the queues for the trip were massive, but our guide was there and we skipped the queue. She was very informative and made the trip extremely educational and thoughtful. I have already recommended the company to friends and family.
Very happy we got the tour. I was worried for a minute that we weren't going to find out guide but it was easy. The guide was right there on time. Since the museum is small, meaning the rooms are small it was a bit crowded but the guide managed for us all to hear her well. Very interesting and without a guide it would be difficult to read it all and understand the magnitude of what happened there. She pointed out many small things but important. She also tod us about the ghetto wall and we walked there oursleves. It was the last minute decison the night before to book a tour and I am very happy we did.

Unbelievable good organisation
Good information for time change received in advance; delivery to place on time
Great tour, great guide, fascinating story
The displays were very informative & done well, but there were multiple large groups with tour guides making it difficult to move at my desired pace AND making it difficult to navigate the narrow passageways in the museum.
The guide was knowledgeable and his delivery was good so all in all a good experience But the group was too big for the venue, the tour felt rushed/hurried - we would have preferred a little more time to take in each section.
Even though the tour was relatively short, it was incredibly meaningful and well-paced. The guide managed to pack a lot of historical depth into a short amount of time, and shared it all with genuine emotion and insight. I left feeling both moved and more informed. A truly memorable experience.
Ticketing experience was handled well. No problems. The guide was excellent and explained everything well. I now have a better understanding of what happened during WW11 to the Jews and the Polish people.
Tickets were delivered as ordered and the entry process to the museum was easy. The tour was good but some large groups made it difficult to see some of the information properly.
The skip the line with guide, was the best. The only way, in my opinion to see the factory. You learn so much. The lines outside waiting to get in make it so worth it.
I really enjoyed the tour, the guide was extremely prepared, knew many important facts besides the content in the factory.
Our guide was really passionate and very very informative, nothing was too much trouble. I really enjoyed our tour. Apologies as I can't remember his name, but he spoke 15 languages and was an ex polish officer. He was fantastic!!

It's more about the history of Krakow between 39 and 45 than the story of Mr. Schindler. Very interesting to incorporate Schindler's "little" story into the big picture. Instructive and well commented by the guide in French.

It seems to me a most interesting exhibition, and the guide that has touched us, Ela, an exceptional person, transmitting with her good work what the Nazi barbarism suspended. If I had to give her a grade, it would be a 10.

Our guide was Phil and he was excellent. Good explanations. Useful anecdotes and advice. Walk was fascinating and Oskar Schindler exhibition was excellent. Would strongly recommend.
The meeting point, the explanations, the guide and the places visited
Walking tour seemed inconsistent - rushed in some areas and repetitious in others. Spent too long walking round and round the same area of Kazimierz with little new information. Lots to see in the Schindler Factory but limited time available. Factory was history of the war rather than a detailed history of Schlinder and his exploits.
Hi! The tour was very good, Alice was a wonderfull tour guide and really made this experience great. I would take her tours anytime ❤️
INTERESTING DISCOVERY OF THE SITE IN RELATION TO THE HISTORY OF KRAKOW AND THE JEWS DURING THE WAR. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE GUIDE
The organization and the guide were perfect. Only one drawback: groups of more than 20 people in narrow rooms, so that we lost track of what the guide was describing and what we were seeing. A real shame.
The guide (I believe his name was Felip) was absolutely brilliant. Knowledgeable, patient and very easy to listen to. Would thoroughly recommend.
Extremely Disappointing Tour – Not Worth the Money I had high expectations for the walking tour of Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory, but it turned out to be a frustrating and disappointing experience. The wired headsets provided were of very poor quality – the audio kept cutting out and I could barely hear anything the guide was saying. On top of that, the group was far too large, making it impossible to get close enough to the guide to hear them directly either. The time slots between groups were way too close. We were constantly too near the group ahead of us, and the group behind us kept catching up. As a result, there was no opportunity to stop, absorb, or read any of the exhibition content on our own. The whole tour felt rushed and overcrowded, which really took away from what should have been a powerful and reflective experience. We paid PLN 53.18 per person for this tour, and frankly, it was not worth it. I’m very disappointed and would like to request a refund or some form of compensation for this poorly organized and underwhelming experience.
Great guide Bartłomiej was extremely knowledgeable the only minus was the ghetto tour not well organized we stood outside not know wing where to go and when he will be back
The person leading the outing was superb. She was very knowledgeable and, when one of the party had a fall, she took charge of this impeccably.
Great arrangements all round. Emails were responded to quickly and clearly. The tour itself was also clear and well arranged. Nice tour guide, Robin was not there, we had David.
A very high quality guided tour, with a guide who has a marvellous command of French and is remarkably punctual. The explanations were really interesting, constructive and comprehensive.
Helen was very informative. I wasn't feeling well and she looked after me. Very sweet of her. I left before I went on the Ghetto part of the tour.
Our guide was GREAT ! The Schindler factory did feel a bit rushed (limited space, and lots of your groups) you do not get a chance to see all the exhibits.
Excellent guide. A little too many people (group of 25)
The tour guide was excellent. Very committed and really wanted to convey something to us. We were thrilled.
Bart our guide was knowledgeable, efficient and friendly , well organised.
A very interesting visit that retraces the history of Poland from 39 to 45.
Thanks ms Ewa for your 4 hours guided tour through Kasimierz, the Jewish ghetto and Schindler's factory !
Excellent and competent management, very good preparation
The lady who gave the tour was able to tell us a lot.
Very informative. Guide answered our questions. Wonderful tour

If you're ever in Krakow, it would be a real shame to leave without a visit to the salt mine. This centuries-old industrial enterprise has also become a highly artistic work of art. You'll come away richer for your eyes and intellect. In the attached photo, it's all salt. We recommend it!
Good organization although it seemed clandestine, good guide who spoke very good English. She did speed here and there but she was on hour and time so understandable. It is a mustsee in Krakow
Superb Site – But Book Direct to Avoid Overpaying! The Wieliczka Salt Mines themselves were absolutely superb – a truly fascinating and unique experience that’s well worth a visit. The underground chapels, sculptures, and sheer scale of the mines are breathtaking, and the guided tour (which is included with the entry ticket) was informative and engaging. However, we were disappointed with the booking company we used. We paid a significantly higher price under the impression we were getting a special guided tour, only to find out that the site includes a guided tour for all visitors as standard. Had we booked directly with the salt mines, we could have saved a considerable amount of money. The experience itself is quite physically demanding – lots of walking and stairs – so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a bit of a workout. Despite the booking issue, we have no regrets about visiting. Just a word of advice: book directly with the salt mines to avoid unnecessary extra costs.
I liked the guided tour in German very much, only with the meeting point we had some trouble, I was in Belgium with my granddaughter who speaks Polish very well and can also use the cell phone, it was not so clear where we should meet.
Easier find our guild at the door, quick entrance, easy to hear everyone supplied ear pieces, guild knowledge while experience was engaging
With a fairly large group you are led through salt mine at lightning speed. Nevertheless, still spent 3 hours on the road. Go along to the museum. You can take the elevator to the second floor.
The tour guide was great and very informative. It's a great experience if you don't mind walking lots of steps but you take the miners lift back up to the top. I'd advise arriving at least an hour before your tour if you wish to store luggage as there simply is not enough lockers to go around, so you will have to wait around for someone to retrieve their bags.
It's more about the history of Krakow between 39 and 45 than the story of Mr. Schindler. Very interesting to incorporate Schindler's "little" story into the big picture. Instructive and well commented by the guide in French.
It was so smooth the queues for the trip were massive, but our guide was there and we skipped the queue. She was very informative and made the trip extremely educational and thoughtful. I have already recommended the company to friends and family.
Who knew that salt could be so interesting? We had an amazing trip to the Wieliczka Salt Mines. Tickets are timed and you literally turn up 10 minutes or so before your time slot to meet your guide and off you go. An amazing experience with knowledgeable guides. The beauty of the place took our breath away. Just be prepared to walk. A lot! Tiring but enjoyable- we will return again one day.
This was easy to book and from start to finish it was absolutely amazing. The tour guide was informative and fun. What an amazing place. Definitely worth a visit. So much to see. We even stayed and had a drink in the cafe in the caves. After licking the walls and inhaling the healing air we were super thirsty. Thank you to all for an amazing visit 🤩 We visited from krakow and got an uber from our apartment.
Great experience for healthy walkers; but with the amount of money you receive, having a shortened tour with a down elevator to start (perhaps 1 or 2 levels only) for slower walking persons, would increase income from families who all want to participate?
Parking nearby. Quick and easy entry. Very friendly and attentive guide with very precise explanations. Exceptional, magnificent location

The number of museums, so you can also see things that you wouldn't have had on your agenda and then experience one or two positive surprises. The Krakow Underground and the Archaeological Museum are particularly well prepared! to improve: Some of the museums did not know whether they were included in the pass or not. The code reading machines often didn't work, the staff often didn't know how to use them outside the norm. They didn't know that you can switch the long device to a different mode that can also read QR codes and not the usual barcodes! That's why I had to argue at almost every museum, the worst was at Schindler's Factory (which is generally very poorly organized and structured!) In the end, with effort, explanation and friendly conversation, we got in everywhere we wanted to go. It would therefore be important to provide the barcode as well as the QR code! Also a small digital folder with the museums that are included, as otherwise you often get lost and then don't go there again!
The fact that I was able to visit various lakes and use the public transportation system
Nothing
There was only 1 possible pick up pount for the Krakow Card. Here the card was not in stock at any time. Despite repeated attempts, I never received the card I paid for. So I had to pay all the museums individually again :( . Therefore, paying for a service I never received, I can only judge poorly.
I did not realize when I purchased the tickets that the location for ticket pick up was different than the location. When I asked for an immediate refund, I was rejected, but the reservation I purchased was completely UNUSABLE! I do NOT recommend this company Headout for any transactions!!!!
At last Moment without previous warning two Museum barbican and the Wall where closed 4 hours before the right time It where closed 2 pm instead of 6 pm the day of sunday therefore i was enable tò visit this places
Access to a few of the museums but we did not get our moneys worth at all !
I spent over 30 euros in a ticket I did not use, manage for another day was not possible, cancelling was not possible. Customer service not available just a chat bot. It was never clear that was not the ticket to enter de museums, when arriving I got rejected in the entrance so I had to buy an extra ticket. Nobody from headout staff or agency was near by.
Not worth the cost, at all

Excellent organization and ability to solve the needs of the day very quickly. The tour to Aushwitz-Birkenau was emotionally impactful and reflective-everyone at least once in their life should have this experience
We had a great driver, very nice and informative. All in all a great and perfectly organized tour
The guide's performance was excellent, but my only regret was that the tour was so quick, we had to make room for another group arriving quickly, and we didn't have time to linger and read the panels and absorb the nobility of the events through the realistic reconstructions.
Trip worked like Charme, good contact, friendly driver. Pickup and Drop off at my hotel worked perfectly. Bus was a little crowded, everything Else perfect
Organization of the day, including transportation moving discovery of the deportation sites It's a pity that the guide spoke so quickly in English with Polish pronunciation, which made it difficult to understand. Fortunately, we were very familiar with the history of the Holocaust in Auschwitz and Birkenau.
Loved the guide Michael. He was so generous with his time and particularly sensitive to the issues of Auschwitz-Birkenhau and all the evil that happened at this awful time in history. Thank you! He was great! 🙏

While I am happy to have visited the Schindler building, I thought it would be a memorial to Schindler's story. This was NOT the case! The whole exhibit was a review of the pre-during WWII Jewish community experience in Krakow which I had already learned about at other sites. There was almost NOTHING about Schindler at the Schindler factory!
It was good but i Image It better, there are many photo and things from wwII but all wrote in english...i think should have in many languages and a story can be listen by ear phone.
I really appreciated the organization, which was punctual and efficient. I was disappointed with the visit which in the end consisted of only one or rather two exhibits. I thought I would see more. Anyway ...thank you 🤗
Excellent museum that fully respects the Jewish sufferings. Tikcets has been provided on time and entrance was piece of cake. Very professional office.
The museum was better than expected with lots to see - the only downside was signage of where to go if you had bought tickets of where to go - but still a great experience
I liked the tour and the organization. The staff did not guide properly thanks to a security man who showed us the route very kindly thank you.
The ticket system worked perfectly as we got in straight away which wa great but as there were so many tours it spoilt our trip as the groups and guides took over the rooms , there were too many tours ! We know you have no control over this though.
The knowledge and sincerity of the guide was excellent. She was passionate about imparting what she knew in a calm and considered way.
Welcome had to ask twice to the museum staff what we had to enter the museum. The indication was really unclear and also the staff of other company helped us. Please note that you should explain better how to get a real ticket and what to do when we get there. In oyr case, we could ask in Englisj but not everyone speak fluently the language.
Beautiful museum with superb museography. Each room is different. We were there for 2? hours, so much information.
The experience was very interesting, well worth going to see it. When I booked the tickets, the information about the tour guide was misleading. Everyone who had booked with this tour guide was under the impression that he was taking us round. Not the case, we had to look around ourselves without a tour guide. Please could you look into it for future reference
On a positive note, it was easy to buy tickets online and in advance. On the negative side, the host was not properly identified when changing to physical tickets; it was confusing and not very intuitive. The museum is one of the best I've ever visited
The museum was very interesting. Had to wait about 30mins for the rep to arrive and get the tickets, but probably less time than waiting in line
I liked everything about the exhibition. It was shown very well, especially for people who probably hadn't dealt with it before, what it was like during that time and what the Jewish people had to suffer. It is still sad and a reminder that something like this must never happen again. Respect to all those who helped in a similar way or even in small ways, like Oskar Schindler.
The actual museum was as good as I'd hoped for. But receiving the tickets at the exact time I was due to enter was not acceptable
Interesting museum, but intermediary bordering on amateurish. Lack of clear information on how to enter the museum via your site, then waiting when the ticket is supposed to be queue-cutting.
The interactive exhibits were great, and lots of information on the history panels. Read the ticket instructions carefully. We were overwhelmed by the crowds when we arrived and a little confused about lines. We chose no tour to enjoy the interactive exhibits which those on tours were not able to experience. However, the tour guides are very loud dispite everyone having headphones making it distracting. They filled the narrow space blocking pictures and reading material or to pass. Just staying behind the group to avoid the problem we got yellled out.
The venue provided good information regarding Krakow/Poland's history, but I thought it was going to be more information about Oskar Schindler and how he saved a significant number of Jewish people during the war. Krakow together guide simply provided tickets and advised there was no guide or audio for the experience
To be honest, 'awesome', used in your star rating, is not the word I would want to use for this type of museum. This was one of the best presented Museums that my wife and I have been to. Superbly well constructed and laid out. In parts powerful and moving. Wonderful pictures, film clips and exhibits, all of them given clear historical descriptions. An excellent exhibition I woul urge everyone to visit. The ticketing process was clear and simple, the only small issue, I would like it to be made clearer at the entrance, what the procedure should be, exactly where to go for people with pre bought tickets like ours, but that is being slightly picky.

Oskar Schindler was a German industrialist and businessman who saved the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by giving them work in his factories. Today, Schindler's Enamel Factory is a museum that showcases the harrowing realities of wartime Krakow under Nazi occupation and is one of the most visited historical attractions in the city.
At the heart of the museum lies the incredible story of Oskar Schindler and how he saved 1,200 Jewish lives. The exhibits highlight his courage, moral dilemmas, and the life-saving choices he made under unimaginable circumstances. It's an inspiring tale of humanity's potential for good, even in the darkest times.
Step into a living narrative of history as you walk through photographs, personal artifacts, documents, recorded testimonies, interactive displays, and meticulously recreated rooms. Each exhibit offers a poignant glimpse into the daily struggles, resilience, and survival stories of Krakow's residents during the Nazi occupation.
While the museum's content is most suitable for visitors aged 14 and above, it serves as an invaluable educational resource for students, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding World War II and the Holocaust.
The museum goes beyond traditional displays with its interactive exhibits and reconstructed spaces. Walk down the cobbled streets of wartime Krakow, step into recreated offices, and see the personal belongings of those who lived through the occupation. It's a multi-sensory experience that keeps visitors engaged and emotionally connected throughout the journey.
Situated just a short tram ride from Krakow's Old Town, the factory is easily accessible. Its proximity to other historical sites, like the Jewish Ghetto and Podgórze district, makes it an ideal stop for those exploring the city's wartime history.
The museum houses a recreation of Oskar Schindler’s office, which offers insights into his life and the workings of his factory. Don’t miss his original desk and furniture, photographs, accessories, maps, and personal effects.
See the display of more than 200 photographs of the Jewish employees who survived the Nazi Occupation due to Schindler’s efforts. Set in window panes, they are one of the museum’s most stirring exhibits.
'Survivors' Ark' is an installation made of thousands of enamelware pots and vessels like the ones produced in Schindler’s Factory during the war. It aptly symbolizes the plight of the factory’s Jewish employees as well as Schindler’s bravery in saving their lives.
Experience the tense environment of pre-war Krakow in the replica of a 1939 railway station waiting room. Its wooden benches, vintage signage and posters, and period video footage give a realistic idea of the city’s atmosphere just before Nazi occupation.
Don’t miss the exhibit of a historical tram carriage, which depicts life in Krakow during the Nazi occupation. It features authentic wooden interiors and has imitation windows playing newsreels from the 1940s.
One of the most stark artifacts at Schindler’s Factory is the original preserved gateway to Plaszow, first a labour and then a concentration camp. Gravel strewn across the room evokes the atmosphere of a labour camp, transporting visitors right back to wartime Krakow under Nazi occupation.
The Hall of Choices is an installation that tells the stories of Krakow’s citizens who opposed the Nazi regime as well as those who collaborated with the regime. It symbolizes the choices made by the people and the human capacity for both good and evil.
Book a Schindler's Factory tickets skip-the-line ticket that will allow you to bypass the long waiting lines. Also, consider visiting during the early hours when the crowds are smaller.

Same-day tickets are rarely available, as Schindler's Factory is one of Krakow's most popular attractions. Booking tickets at least a week in advance is strongly advised to secure your spot.
Ticket cancellation and rescheduling policies vary depending on the ticket. Some offer flexible cancellation policies, while others may not allow refunds or changes. Always check the terms and conditions before booking.
A visit to Schindler's Factory typically takes about 2–3 hours. This allows enough time to explore the interactive exhibits, personal artifacts, historical documents, and multimedia displays without feeling rushed. If you're on a guided tour, the visit might be more structured and slightly shorter but equally comprehensive.
Yes, combo tickets usually offer better value for money, especially if you're planning to visit multiple attractions like Auschwitz-Birkenau or Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Oskar Schindler's Factory houses many artifacts from wartime Krakow, which give visitors a glimpse of the stark reality of life under Nazi occupation. Among these are Oskar Schindler's desk, a 1939 railway station waiting room, a vintage tram, and several photographs, personal testimonies, and archived video footage from the 1940s.
Yes, tickets are usually issued for specific time slots to manage crowd flow and maintain a smooth visitor experience. Make sure to arrive on time, as late arrivals may not be accommodated.
Yes, self-guided visits are allowed. However, a guided tour is highly recommended for a richer and more insightful experience, as guides provide context and highlight lesser-known details.
There are public parking spaces nearby, but availability can be limited during peak hours. Using public transport or taxis is often a more convenient option.
No, pets are not allowed inside the museum, with the exception of service animals accompanying visitors with disabilities.
