Overview

Step into Poland’s Cold War past with a private ride through Nowa Huta, Krakow’s planned socialist district. Your English-speaking driver will guide you through 1Plac Centralny, the monumental heart of the area, designed as a model communist city. Stroll past wide boulevards and striking Stalinist architecture, pausing for photos and stories that bring its utopian vision to life.

Continue to 2Arka Pana Church, a powerful symbol of spiritual resistance, built despite communist opposition. Its modern, symbolic design stands as a testament to local faith and determination.

If time allows, visit the 3Museum of Communist Poland (ticketed entry, optional), where artifacts and exhibits offer insight into everyday life during the PRL era.

Activity itinerary

plac Centralny Imienia Ronalda Reagana
  • 1h
At the heart of Nowa Huta, this monumental square is a symbol of Stalinist architecture and communist-era urban planning. Built as a model city for workers, its symmetrical layout, grand boulevards, and housing blocks showcase the ideals of socialist realism.
Our Lady Queen of Poland Church
  • 1h
This strikingly modern church—built in defiance of the communist regime—is a powerful symbol of religious resistance. Its bold concrete design and unusual sail-shaped roof make it one of Poland’s most unique religious landmarks.
Museum of Communist Poland
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
A small but fascinating museum that dives into everyday life during the PRL (Polish People’s Republic) era. Exhibits include retro household items, propaganda posters, and stories of resistance. Entry is optional and self-guided.
