Traveler reviews
Denis
★★★★★3 months agoA very atmospheric and symbolic place that reflects an important part of Kraków's history. It offers a meaningful connection to the past and helps visitors better understand the city's heritage and the people who lived here. Worth visiting while exploring the Kazimierz district.
Shaun Edwards
★★★★★8 months agoSchindler's List used many authentic locations in Kraków, Poland, especially in the historic Jewish district of Kazimierz, to capture the wartime atmosphere, with key sites including the famous Schindler's Passage, Oskar Schindler's actual apartment (now a museum), the former factory (also a museum), and the Płaszów camp's recreation in the Liban Quarry. Visitors can tour these spots, experiencing the real history behind the iconic film, from Schindler's Passage in Kazimierz to the Oskar Schindler's Factory museum.
