Day 1 - Fly to Krakow, walking tour

Arrive in Krakow and transfer to your accommodation by coach. Meet your local guide for a guided walking tour of the stunning UNESCO listed old town. Admire highlights such as the main Market Square (the largest medieval square in Europe), the resplendent St Mary's Basilica with the biggest medieval altar in Europe, Cloth Hall (famous among souvenir hunters) and Wawel Hill with the magnificent Royal Castle and Cathedral – the main Coronation church of Polish kings.

You can also visit the students’ quarter to see the oldest Polish university – the Jagiellonian University and the marvellous courtyard of the Collegium Maius building.

Day 2 - Schindler's Factory, Galicia Museum

Today begins with a guided walking tour around Kazimierz, Krakow's former Jewish quarter, following in the footsteps of Oskar Schindler and the Schindler Jews. Before World War II, Poland housed the largest Jewish community in Europe and Kazimierz has become a symbol of Jewish history in Poland. Discover Szeroka Street, the Old Synagogue, Remuh Synagogue and the 16th century cemetery.

Then tour the Galicja Jewish Museum which commemorates the victims of the Holocaust and celebrates the Jewish culture of Polish Galicja. There is also the possibility of arranging a talk with a Holocaust survivor at this museum.

Later, walk across the Vistula and see the Ghetto area and Schindler's Factory Museum which is dedicated to the life of Schindler, the fate of his Jewish workforce and life during the Nazi occupation of Krakow, immortalised in Steven Spielberg's famous movie "Schindler's List" - a must-see prior to this visit.

Day 3 - Auschwitz-Birkenau full day

Travel west today to Auschwitz-Birkenau for a guided tour of the largest of the Nazi concentration camps where the mass killing of more than 1 million people took place during World War II. See the exhibition in the brick blocks where prisoners were kept, the gas chambers and the crematorium.

Then head to the largest camp, Birkenau (Auschwitz II), and see the Gate of Death, the wooden barracks and the Victims' Memorial. The exhibitions are extremely thought provoking and you leave with a much better understanding of the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust.

Day 4 - Wieliczka Salt Mines, fly home

After check out, travel by coach to Wieliczka to visit the famous UNESCO Salt Mines. For centuries salt was the source of Poland's wealth (the word "salary" come from "salt") and this is the oldest mine, lying on nine levels under the town of the same name.

Discover salt chambers, lakes and even the famous St Kinga's Chapel with its magnificent decorations carved in salt. The mines are well developed for tourists with underground souvenir shops, cafes and even a post office!
