One of the most moving museum experiences we've ever had. If you're in Kraków we highly recommend you taking the time to stop by explore and soak in a piece of history. The museum is pretty big, and depending on how much you want to learn, you can do the tour in 1/2 hours quick.. or take your time and learn for a 1/2 a day emersion of WWII history?
I hadnt seen the movie before visiting the factory. Had to book some weeks in advance and entered an English speaking group. The guide was good and provided many details. However most part of the exhibition and the narrative was about the jews in general (in Poland) and not focused in the story of the factory. We were not allowed to return after the tour on our own to study more the exhibits that we passed quickly before while listening to the guide,hence the 4 stars.
We visited Schindlers factory on rhe first day of our trip to Krakow. We had been in the city about 10 years ago and missed it then so wanted to make sure we got there this time. Firstly this is less a tour of Oskar Schindler's factory anf more a WW2 museum that just happens to be in the same building that Oskar Schindler happened to use. There isnt a lot about Schindler and his workers. Most of it is about the war in Krakow and Poland. Very informative but something you need to know if you are specifically going to see the factory from the film. If you are going with that in mind you may be disappointed. But if you want to learn about WW2 in Krakow then this will be the place for you. Another tip. Book in advance and get a skip the queue ticket. We didnt and when we joined the queue it didnt seem too long maybe 100 people in front of us. It took over 2 hours to get in. Every ten or fifteen minutes around 10 people would get in. Meanwhile dozens got in via skip the queue in the same time. So dont queue. Book a skip the queue tour. But that said we enjoyed the visit and would highly recommend it.
Loved schindlers factory which is actually a war museum we were lucky enough to have a fantastic guide, can't remember his name but if it comes back to me I will add it as I think he made the tour so good. If you have any interest in history this is a must do and I would advise going on a guided tour.
This guided tour was only a little about Schindler as it walks you through the story of Poland in WW2 from different perspectives. Very informative and the hour and a half tour was the perfect length. Our guide spoke clearly and concisely (in English) and was very engaging as she told this fascinating story. We booked tickets and tour online which was a great choice: we skipped the long queue out front and were ushered inside first when our time came. I highly recommend this tour and the guide is so worth it. We definitely would not have got the depth of understanding if we’d gone in on our own. I was deeply moved at various points; this is an experience I will not forget.
