Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

Explore the dark face of the city. Take the challenge and let yourself feel the fear, which has never been so real. Visit rooms haunted by lost souls, and be sure that you will remember forever things which are hidden at the cursed floor at Florianska 6. LOST SOULS ALLEY - Poland's first interactive museum devoted to the basic instinct of fear. Entire floor, which is inspired by horror movies.
Walking into this place I had no idea what I was about to experience as it was booked as a surprise for me hen do (I know I’m weird). It was so amazing I wish I would give it more stars! A must for any person who loves a horror movie. It was like being in one! I would highly recommend if you’re looking for something different to do in Kraków. If anyone is unsure you can leave at any time (which my Sister did as she couldn’t cope). Absolutely brilliant, the highlight of my hen!

Guided tours in English: Tuesday - Saturday every hour from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. (last English tour 5:00 pm). In the Stained Glass Museum, exhibition spaces intertwine with the old stained glass workshop, functioning since 1902. The visitors can observe the process of stained glass creation, in the warm atmosphere of the historic workshop, directly above the heads of artists and craftsmen. For this reason visits can only be made by joining a guided tour. Ticket prices per person (including our English guide): adults 37 PLN, student 31 PLN, family (2+2) 124 PLN Visitors can also book workshops with master craftsmen and make their own stained glass souvenir. There are three workshops options: 2 hrs, 3 hrs or 2 days long, at the price 190 PLN, 260 PLN or 1100 PLN per person respectively. The price in each case includes: - guided tour of the museum and workshop - coffee break - creation of stained glass object under the artist's guidance - your own stained glass object to take home.
One of my top experiences in Krakow. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t say the place is very commercial or touristy, it’s quiet and authentic. Our guide had perfect English and gave us a small workshop experience. She answered all questions and provided some great insights into the glass making process. Highly recommended!

A blast from the past! The only one in Poland private collection of over 130 arcade games available on Free Play. Museum presents history of entertainment. Oldest table game dates back to 1936. Main focus though is placed on 80' and 90' classics. One cannot miss Pac Man, Galaga, Mortal Kombat and dozens of driving and shooting games. Great for kids and adults. Perfect for a rainy day. It is a time machine that will transport you back to your happy childhood memories. Cannot be missed while in Krakow - only 15 min tram ride from the city center. There is also big free parking in front.
I visited the museum for my birthday while visiting Krakow. It was my idea of heaven. Some great classic games from my youth such as house of the dead, time crisis and my personal favourite the simpsons arcade game. I spent a good number of hours there but easily could have spent all day. If I ever make it back to Krakow I will be sure to visit again. This was definitely my happy place!

Two exhibitions in one location. The first is a journey in the dark in which because of the complete darkness you will feel like a blind person. This metamorphosis has several advantages – first of all you realize that in such a world a blind person feels like a fish in the water. And you? At the beginning you are afraid, then you tame, and finally you realize what power your other senses have. Then you realize that blind people are not disabled at all, it’s just naive to think that you who see are better. The second is a maze of colors, games of lights and fun. How to build a lake of sand or a mountain, or maybe create a tsunami? How to leave the shadow behind? As if with ordinary glasses it would seem to turn the world upside down, and maybe check what the shadow of the strange sculpture hides or turn the sound into shape and color. Both experiences include our fantastic guides, who bring science and emotion into your world in a joyful and colorful way.
Visited here based on reviews and wasn’t disappointed. To experience life as a blind person was so informative and interesting, also to know the difficulties they experience. The light tour was also very good learning new things with lights and objects. This is such an unusual place and highly recommended.

I was really pleased with what they had on display, though I wish much more of it could be indoors to prevent weathering. Never have I seen so much non-NATO aircraft in one location as well as some very rare German and Russian WWII aircraft. The clipped wing Spitfire is in wonderful condition inside. I spent close to 3 hours here, signs in both English and Polish. Worth the visit.
