Krakow’s renowned communist relics remain prominent and well-preserved. Climb into your Trabant (or the iconic Polish Fiat or whimsical Soviet Lada) and embark on a journey back in time as you navigate the city in an automobile produced by the Eastern Bloc. Take a trip to the Nowa Huta district, noted for being the city’s stronghold of communism. Immerse yourself in the history of a community that was a ‘gift’ from Stalin to Krakow. Ponder over the intricacies of the apartment complexes, designed as the ideal communist city. Listen to tales of life beyond the Iron Curtain as you traverse the focal point of Poland’s revolt, which eventually culminated in the dissolution of the communist regime.
The notable ‘Communism Tour’ gained fame in BBC’s ‘Palin’s New Europe’ series and has been extensively covered by various global broadcasts and publications.
For an enhanced tour experience, choose the 4-hour Deluxe package, which comprises a guided tour to the deserted headquarters and offices at the erstwhile Lenin Steelworks and a Pierogi lunch at a retro restaurant.
