Schindler's Factory

[deeshipman]

My family and I are hoping to visit Krakow in February of next year and wonder if it is possible to visit Oscar Schindler's factory? Also if anyone has visited before any tips or special places we should go please let me know. Many thanks

I haven't been to Oskar Schindler's factory myself but other sights I'd recomment in and around Krakow are

Rynek Glowny - you'll probably find yourself passing through, eating, drinking and wandering arond there anyway

Gallery of 19th Century Polish Art above the Sukiennice - wonderful paintings, some huge canvasses, different styles including impressionist and symbolist and also Jozef Chelmonski 's "Four in Hand" one of my favourite paintings

Wawel - The Royal Castle and the Cathedral - beautiful, and historical location - the collections in the Riyal Castle, especially the tapestries, are very interesting

St. Mary's Church - go just before midday so you see Wit Stwosz's wonderfully carved altar screen being opened
Kazimierz, the Jewish Quarter and the Jewish Museum in the Old Synagogue - a real sense of history

Auschwitz - words can't really express what this is like

Salt Mines - never been myself but I'm told it's very good

Have a fantastic time in Krakow, it's a wonderful city!
