Things to do World War II in Krakow - Tour by Walkative!
The time of the German Nazi occupation of Krakow is considered to be the most challenging period in the history of the city. It was a time of darkness but also a time of true heroes. It was a time of courage, fear, and betrayal when even the most straightforward decision could bear grave consequences. A time that lives in us thanks to the stories of our parents and grandparents.
On this tour, we will learn about the Nazi plans towards the Poles and understand how they repressed their victims. We will also talk about the citizens of Krakow and their attitudes towards the Germans.
That’s true – Kraków didn’t have an uprising, and the city wasn’t demolished, but the resistance movement still had its part during WWII. Join the World War 2 in Kraków FREE walking TOUR and learn more!

Damian our guide was really great. He told us lots of interesting stories to help build a picture of WW2 in Krakow with care and sensitivity. The points of interest around the city were also great and relevant to the tour. All the information Damian gave was simple and accesible, so was suitable for all levels of historical knowledge. Would really recommend this tour to everyone!

“Worth it ”
Pawel was our guide:
I think he was a bit stressed to begin with cause he had some issues making his phone work so the beginning of the tour felt a bit all over the place.
But after the first 20 min all was good and he delivered a very interesting guide on WW2 and Kraków. He also shared sone personal history connect to it and it was a refreshing addition to the tour.

“Mateusz totally nailed it”
I really enjoyed the tour and the stories Mateusz had to tell. It was also very nice to have a young guide my age with so much experience and knowledge. We talked much in between the stops and it didn't feel like we've spent 2 hours. I'm almost sad I'm probably never see him again haha. Great Job!
