Full description
The Berlin Wall may have fallen and the Iron Curtain cracked, but many of Communism's most famous legacies are alive and well in Krakow.
On this 2.5-hour tour you’ll travel in a vintage Trabant automobile on a visit to Krakow's Socialist district of Nowa Huta, complete with steelworks and houses built in the Soviet Realist style.
This unique project was meant to be a model Communist city, but later came to be one of the centers of revolution and resistance within Poland.
During the tour you’ll travel back in time to experience the wonders of this one-of-a-kind city. Not only will you discover what life was like under Communism, you’ll hear all sorts of interesting stories. Your laid-back local guide will certainly bring the good old days back to life!
