Gambaran keseluruhan

Medieval Kraków brims with beautiful Gothic churches and ancient monuments. Yet, in a mere 10 km from the Old Town, you can find a district called Nowa Huta, built after World War II by the communists as an ideal socialist urban area. We encourage you to discover this truly unique yet little-known part of Kraków.

“Nowa Huta” in English means “new steel mill”. This mammoth manufacturing plant, along with a residential district for the steel mill workers, was built on the initiative of the communist government after the war. The district was meant to contrast with the ‘old’ Kraków with its religiosity, traditions, and anti-socialist sentiments. Nowa Huta was to be a city of the ‘new people’, those living without God, trusting in the ideals of communism and the guiding role of the Communist Party.

On this 2-hour Nowa Huta walking tour, a local guide takes us through the construction history and utopian concepts of this socialist city.

plac Centralny Imienia Ronalda Reagana
  • 35m
Plac Centralny im. Ronalda Reagana, located in the Nowa Huta district of Kraków, Poland, is a significant landmark with a rich history and unique architectural style. Designed in the 1950s as part of the Soviet-influenced development of Nowa Huta, the square was intended to be a model of socialist urban planning. Its design features wide avenues and imposing, neoclassical buildings, embodying the ideal of a workers' paradise. Nowa Huta was built as a self-contained city to serve the nearby steelworks, and Plac Centralny was its focal point, originally named after Joseph Stalin. After the political changes in Poland, it was renamed in honor of Ronald Reagan, recognizing his role in the downfall of communism.
Rose Alley
  • 15m
Aleja Róż (Avenue of Roses) is one of the most iconic streets in Nowa Huta, Kraków’s socialist-era district. It was designed as part of the original urban plan in the 1950s, a time when Nowa Huta was created as a model city for industrial workers. Aleja Róż was meant to be a grand, central avenue embodying the ideals of socialist realism, with wide, tree-lined walkways flanked by monumental, neoclassical buildings. The avenue takes its name from the rose gardens that once lined the street, which added a touch of natural beauty to the otherwise austere surroundings. In its early days, Aleja Róż was the heart of Nowa Huta's public life, a place for parades, official gatherings, and cultural events.
Monument of IS-2 Tank
  • 10m
Although Nowa Huta was designed as a peaceful workers’ town, its strategic significance as an industrial hub and proximity to the steelworks gave it a close association with the military. The IS-2 tank, once a fearsome weapon, now serves as a static reminder of that era, offering a historical contrast to the peaceful, residential character of the neighborhood today. For history enthusiasts and tourists, the IS-2 tank provides an interesting visual link to World War II and the Cold War period, while also serving as a photo opportunity and a tangible piece of the district's Soviet past.
Church of Our Lady Queen of Poland
  • 20m
  • Termasuk tiket masuk
Designed by architect Wojciech Pietrzyk, the church’s structure resembles an ark, symbolizing both hope and salvation, which gave rise to its nickname, "The Ark of the Lord." The church became a symbol of defiance and spiritual resilience during a time when the communist regime in Poland opposed religious expression and delayed the construction of churches. Nowa Huta was initially planned as a secular, socialist city without any place for religion, but the persistent demands of the local population for a church led to a decade-long struggle that culminated in the building of Arka Pana.
Monument of Remembrance Bogdan Włosik
  • 15m
The Pomnik Bogdana Włosika (Bogdan Włosik Monument) is a poignant memorial located in Nowa Huta dedicated to the memory of Bogdan Włosik, a young 20-year-old worker who was tragically shot by a Security Service (Służba Bezpieczeństwa) officer during a peaceful demonstration in October 1982, at the height of martial law in Poland.
Teatr Ludowy
  • 10m
Teatr Ludowy (The People’s Theatre) in Nowa Huta, Kraków, is a prominent cultural institution and one of the most significant examples of post-war theater in Poland. Opened in 1955, Teatr Ludowy was established during the height of socialist realism, serving as a centerpiece of cultural life in Nowa Huta, the model socialist city built to serve the nearby steelworks.
Pomnik Krzyża Nowohuckiego
  • 15m
The Pomnik Krzyża Nowohuckiego (Monument of the Nowa Huta Cross) is a significant symbol of faith and resistance located in Kraków's Nowa Huta district. The cross marks the site of one of the most pivotal moments in the community's struggle against the communist regime, which had originally planned Nowa Huta as a secular, socialist city with no room for religion.
