Opened in 1964, it’s situated at the former Kraków-Rakowice-Czyzyny Airport (which is no longer in operation). Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can marvel over the cavernous chambers, statues, chapels, chandeliers, and cathedrals — all carved out of salt and stone by the miners! Plan your Kraków visit with our comprehensive Kraków map to explore Kraków’s attractions, restaurants, sightseeing and hotels. The cemeteries are striking examples of the destruction the Nazis caused in these areas, and how the destruction had been repaired since.

Our only issue, and it is not a complaint but a suggestion to enhance the guide, would be to name the specific stop on the tram line for each tram and destination.

In the summer, there are lots of stalls around the park where you can grab a snack or a drink as you lounge in the shade and lounge the day away. Located in the actual factory itself, this museum offers a sobering trip through the history of World War II. To say it is simply a coffee break would be to insult every Swede that has negotiated 4 fikas into their workday (seriously look it up, they demand these things). Relaxing Along the Planty We are so saddened to announce that the Bunkier Cafe is no longer with us.
