Recommended stops
You can visit all the places from the list or pick only the ones you like. Just inform your driver about your choice before the ride. During the stops you can do whatever you want: visit the landmarks, take pictures e.t.c. Take as much time as you want within the overall time limit of the trip.
Plac Centralny
At the heart of Nowa Huta, this monumental square is a symbol of Stalinist architecture and communist-era urban planning. Built as a model city for workers, its symmetrical layout, grand boulevards, and housing blocks showcase the ideals of socialist realism.
Arka Pana Church
This strikingly modern church—built in defiance of the communist regime—is a powerful symbol of religious resistance. Its bold concrete design and unusual sail-shaped roof make it one of Poland’s most unique religious landmarks.
Museum of Communist Poland
A small but fascinating museum that dives into everyday life during the PRL (Polish People’s Republic) era. Exhibits include retro household items, propaganda posters, and stories of resistance. Entry is optional and self-guided.
About the ride

They’ll share useful insights, stories and recommendations along the way, helping you understand Krakow’s socialist-era district like a knowledgeable friend, without the pressure of strict schedules or crowded group rides.
This flexible, door-to-door experience is the easiest and most comfortable way to explore top landmarks, monumental squares, iconic socialist architecture, and historical sites that reveal the political and cultural legacy of communist Poland. Choose your pace, personalise your journey, and enjoy a smooth, stress-free ride designed entirely around your interests.
Suggested Itinerary
Start your journey with a comfortable pickup in Krakow, where your Welcome Driver will meet you at your accommodation and help you prepare for your personalised ride through Nowa Huta.
Begin at 1Plac Centralny , the monumental central square built as the symbolic heart of a model socialist city. Wide boulevards, imposing façades, and geometric urban planning offer a vivid look into Poland’s communist architectural vision.
Continue to 2Arka Pana Church, an extraordinary church constructed by local residents despite years of political resistance. Its unique structure and powerful symbolism stand in striking contrast to the surrounding socialist design.
If you wish, extend your experience at 3Museum of Communist Poland, a small museum dedicated to daily life under communism, filled with artifacts, stories, and curious reminders of the era. It offers meaningful context to the architectural and historical sites visited along the way.
At the end of your sightseeing ride, your Welcome Driver will drop you off at your accommodation or any other central location you prefer in Krakow.
Tip: Feel free to adjust the itinerary at any point—add new stops, skip locations, or take extra time exploring Nowa Huta’s landmarks. Your driver will happily adapt the route based on your preferences.
