Explore a different side of Kraków and explore Nowa Huta - a district unlike any other in the city. Designed as a model socialist city, it still impresses with its grand avenues, monumental architecture, and carefully planned urban layout. During the tour, you’ll walk through vast squares, discover hidden details of Cold War era design, walk along the Avenue of Roses, see the site where the Lenin statue was attacked, and discover the ‘Ark of the Lord’ church and the Nowa Huta Cross.
The tour takes you through the story of Nowa Huta's creation, its significance during communism, and its transformation into a thriving neighborhood. But this is more than just a journey into the past - you’ll learn how everyday life looked under communism, hear stories of the people who lived here, and see how Nowa Huta has transformed into a vibrant, evolving neighborhood today. It’s a fascinating mix of history, culture, and real local life - all just a short ride from Kraków’s Old Town.
