Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory Tickets

Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory is one of Krakow’s most powerful historical museums, located in the former factory where Schindler saved more than 1,000 Jews during World War II. Today, the museum presents immersive exhibitions that explore daily life in occupied Krakow, the horrors of the Holocaust, and acts of courage amid persecution.

This venue is also included in select MegaPass options, making it easy to combine with other top attractions in Krakow.

Originally established as an enamelware factory, the site became a place of refuge during Nazi occupation. Oskar Schindler employed Jewish workers to protect them from deportation and death. After the war, the factory fell into disuse before being transformed into a museum dedicated to Krakow’s wartime history and Schindler’s legacy.

The museum offers a deeply moving and educational experience, presenting history through photographs, personal stories, documents, and reconstructed environments. It provides essential context to the Holocaust and highlights the moral choices made by individuals during one of history’s darkest periods.

Tickets typically include access to permanent exhibitions covering Nazi occupation, Jewish life in Krakow, and Schindler’s role in saving lives. Timed entry slots help manage visitor flow, and guided tours are available for deeper historical insight.

Prices vary based on ticket type, guided options, and seasonal demand. Reduced rates may be available for students, seniors, and youth. Free admission days may apply but usually require early arrival due to limited capacity.

The museum is generally open from morning until early evening, with shorter hours on certain weekdays. Holiday schedules and special events may affect access, so checking hours in advance is recommended.
