See the large complex of housing estates designed and developed by the communist authorities in 1950s. Learn about the tragedy and all the unbelivable inconveniences of our everyday life under the communist regime.
This is one of the most interesting city tours that allows you to visit a unique district of Krakow – Nowa Huta that was established in 1949 by the communists. Poland was ruled by the Soviet communist regime for over fourty years since the end of the WWII until 1989.
Our guide will introduce you to the history of that district. You will see the former Lenin Steelworks with its administrative centre and the first residential estates established by the communists in the closest vicinity of the plant.
Following the history you will reach the Central Square and Rose Avenue where there is the Stylowa Cafe – the only one from the communist period. A short coffee break in a socialist realist interior is also included in price.
