The Oskar Schindler's Museum in Krakow is a popular destination for tourists, thanks in part to its portrayal in the Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" by Steven Spielberg. Its unique and modern exhibition offers a poignant insight into the tragic events of Krakow during World War II, showcasing the story of Schindler, a German entrepreneur who saved numerous Jews during the war.
Just 10 km from Krakow lies Wieliczka, a quaint town renowned for housing one of Europe's largest ancient salt mines, with a history spanning 700 years. Descending to a depth of 340 meters, the mine boasts an extensive network of tunnels stretching over 245 kilometers.
Visitors can embark on a tourist route spanning more than 3 km, which encompasses over 20 halls, including the awe-inspiring St. Kinga's Church, dedicated to the patroness of miners. This underground church is adorned with intricate salt sculptures, chandeliers, and carvings, creating a truly mesmerizing sight.
