Free time mid-day

  • Between the morning Salt Mine tour (returning early afternoon) and the 6:00 pm Golf Cart Tour, plan for lunch and a Kraków Old Town stroll.
  • Kraków sights to consider: Oskar Schindler's Factory Museum, St. Mary's Basilica, the Old Town & Main Market Square, Wawel Castle & Cathedral, Kazimierz (the Jewish Quarter), a Vistula River walk. The evening Golf Cart tour itself covers the Schindler / ghetto WWII story, so it doesn't have to be packed into the afternoon.

Worth knowing

  • The Wieliczka Salt Mine has produced salt since the 13th century. Over 300 m deep, more than 200 km of passages. Showpiece: the underground Chapel of St. Kinga. About 800 steps; cool underground (mid-50s°F).
  • Main Market Square (Rynek Główny) is one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, with the Renaissance Cloth Hall at its center.
  • St. Mary's Basilica is famous for Veit Stoss's carved wooden altarpiece and the hejnał — a trumpet call sounded every hour and cut off mid-note.
  • Schindler's Enamel Factory is the actual factory where Oskar Schindler saved about 1,200 Jews; now a museum.
