Full description

Get an interesting lesson about the history of Nowa Huta and see typical examples of Socialist Realist architecture aboard a Communist-era car. Learn where the large statue of Lenin stood on Aleja Róż (Avenue of Roses), and marvel at the grandeur of Plac Centralny (Central Square). Get familiar with the history of Polish communism by taking a ride in a classic Polish car of that era and visiting bomb shelters that were built around a city in the case of World War III. Take a stroll through the Central Square and Roses Avenue, where Poland's biggest statue of Lenin once stood. See the remains of Socialist Realism architecture and learn more about the urban layout of the city. Discover the city’s huge steelworks initiative, which was the reason for its foundation.

 

Travel through time in either a Polish Fiat 126 model “Maluch,” Lada 2101, classic Nysa, Żuk, or even a soviet army van model UAZ 452. Upgrade your tour to the extended 3.5-hour option and include a visit to either a Cold War bomb shelter or a communist director's offices of steelworks.

Wonderful day. My husband knew nothing about the excursion, and was very surprised when Matteuz (long hair) in a small yellow Fiat 126P picked us up. The three of us had a very interesting and fun day together. You can tell that Matteuz is passionate about Krakow and all the history around Nova Huta and the steel mill. We walked around the tunnels and emergency rooms. How interesting. Also nice to hear that the Lenin statue was bought by Sweden and is now at High Chaparall, our Cowboy City. Keep it up Matteuz, you're the best! And it turned out as you said, we had to touch the car once to get it going, that was also an experience in itself. We often use Get your guide when we are abroad. And the experience often depends on the guide.

Fantastic experience. Engaged and funny guide who gives a great insight into history. At the same time as experiencing being driven around in a historic car. We took the larger tour where you can see both Nowa Huta and the offices at the steel factory as well as bunkers. Definitely a five-star experience.

I can not write to express how much I loved this tour Nowa Huta in a vintage Soviet-era LADZ. Mateusz is such a knowledgeable tour guide and he is so passionate about this era of Polish history. From the smallest detail to the larger than life figures, a four-hour tour flew by that perfectly encapsulates all facets of how this era now decades-old still impacts Poland and the world today. You will have a wonderful experience on this tour.
