A Slice of Communism at Nowa Huta (Private Tour)

Tour the old communist district of Nowa Huta and learn about its interesting history


Overview
Boring tour guides with western cars are passé! Take this new-age excursion from Krakow where you will be taken around the old communist district of Nowa Huta in a genuine communist Trabant automobile, accompanied by an expert guide. Explore Nowa Huta, the district that still bears testament to the power of the Soviets.

Take an in-depth tour of the place that was originally gifted to Krakow by Stalin himself. These labyrinths of tenements were done in imitation of the Renaissance and had meant to be a model communist city.

It later came to be one of the centres of revolution and resistance within Poland, leading to the eventual overthrow of the communist government. Stories and anecdotes from your guide will make the tour even more interesting and bring back the days of yore!
