Top Wroclaw Day Trips - page 3

Krakow is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Central Europe, the cradle of Polish culture. The city has long attracted people as the country's former capital and seat of Polish Kings. We will begin your tour by visiting the bustling heart of the city - Main Market Square renowned for St. Mary's Basilica with the stunning medieval altar sculpted made by Veit Stoss and the Cloth Hall, which has been the local market place for centuries, ending at the spectacular Wawel Hill, which is the embodiment of Poland's former monarchical glory. At a short distance from Krakow we will explore the amazing underground world of Wieliczka Salt Mine. The tourist route leads through the underground chambers, chapels, caverns and caves, where you can learn the details of the history of salt mining. You will visit the largest of the chapels dedicated to St Kinga. This subterranean church is richly decorated with chandeliers, sculptures, and religious figures carved out of salt.

The easiest way to see two places in one day. The Auschwitz- Birkenau museum takes us back to the times of the II World War and lets us see what the life in Nazi concentration camp was like. This visit is a history class that gives you a unique opportunity of finding out the darkest recesses of human nature. The Salt Mine is a great chance to look into the depths of the Earth, combined with a hands-on experience of history of mining. Wieliczka Salt Mine (on the UNESCO list) is the only mine that has been working constantly since the Middle Ages and its architecture illustrates all the stages of development in mining techniques in particular periods of history.
