The skip the line ticket was the way to go. We have been traveling and going to multiple museums, so we opted not to have a tour guide, which was good because we could visit and read the details we wanted rather than being brushed passed like I saw some guides do. It was much busier that expected, so but a ticket ahead. It was well worth the visit. Incredibly detailed, staged to get a feel for what it was like back then. Very well done. Go!

Headout ticketing made our visit to Schindlers Factory an enjoyable and memorable experience. Their ticketing made everything simple and worthwhile. We had seen Schindlers list and read much about the Nazi invasion of Europe , but the museum provided much more insight and info to that dark prriod of Polish and European history. I would highly recommend visiting Schindler's factory.

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!

Top things to do in Krakow

Established in 1937 in Krakow, ​Schindler’s Factory is an enamel factory turned history museum famous for owner ​Oskar Schindler’s historically significant decision to hire 1200 Jews to save them from the atrocities of the Nazis during World War II.
