Krakow: Short Vistula River Walk And Concentration Camp Plaszow
What your day looks like
See the royal city from the river from the deck of a modern catamaran, embarking on a short panoramic cruise on the Vistula River. As you pass Wawel, churches, and other monuments, hear information about them from the boat's modern sound system and enjoy beautiful views from the open platform in fine weather. A heated deck and comfortable leather sofas will make you feel at home even on cold days. After reaching your destination, meet your guide and go with him to non-obvious places. Visit an authentic area where, in the suburbs of Krakow, not far from magnificent monuments, there was the Krakow-Płaszów concentration camp during the war. Learn its dark history and see the silent monuments dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust. A guided walk will help you understand the influence of Nazi rule in this area and illustrate how the deportation of Jews from the Krakow ghetto, which began in 1942, proceeded. See the different parts of the camp and learn about the intensive labor carried out at the quarry and military factories. Get an in-depth insight into what camp life was like and pay tribute to the victims.
