Krakow is simply one of the most inspiring and curriculum<br />

enhancing destinations for any history school trip group.<br />

Fortunately spared destruction during World War II, the medieval<br />

city of Krakow houses more artworks and historic buildings than<br />

any other Polish city and is the country’s most popular destination.<br />

Capital of Poland for more than 500 years and a setting for the<br />

Oscar winning film Schindler’s List, Krakow is an ancient city with a<br />

haunting past.<br />

On a school trip to Krakow, students can expect to learn and gain a<br />

greater understanding of the atrocities committed by the Nazis in<br />

nearby concentration camps Plaszow and Auschwitz-Birkenau and<br />

how the city became a ghetto for Jewish persecution during World<br />

War II.<br />

For an appreciation of Poland’s history before World War II, students<br />

can visit the impressive Wawel Castle, take a leisurely stroll around<br />

the Old Town Square and visit the Salt Mines to appreciate the<br />

natural splendours of Poland. With its medieval charm and gothic<br />

architecture, Krakow is a city blessed with historical landmarks and<br />

monuments that act as a poignant reminder of Europe’s turbulent<br />

past.<br />
