Excursions

On Thurday afternoon, three excursions will be organized for the participants that will select this option during the registration process (for more information, see the Registration section at this website). The following options are available:

	A walking tour of Krakow Krakow is one of the oldest and most picturesque cities of Poland and attracts millions of tourists each year with its unique combination of Rennaissance architecture and other influences too numerous to mention. The entire Old Town is included in the UNESCO's World Heritage List, so the best way to experience Krakow is simply to stroll around with your eyes and ears wide open. A small taste of what may be encountered on a walking tour can be seen at Krakow's official website (opens in new window). Pictured: a panorama of Krakow (source: Wikimedia)
	A bus trip to Wieliczka Salt Mine The Wieliczka Salt Mine operated continuously from the 13th century until 2007. Now it is one of the most popular tourist attraction in the Krakow area of Poland, with its 300 kilometers of tunnels reaching depths of more than 300 meters - all carved in rock salt. Among the breathtaking creations found in the Salt Mine one may find dozens of statues, three chapels and an entire cathedral. More information may be found at the Salt Mine's official website (opens in new window). Pictured: A chandelier carved in rock salt (source: Wikimedia)
	A bus trip to Auschwitz Concentration Camp The Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest of the German concentration camps. The museum and memorial was established in 1946 and since then almost 30 million visitors have passed through the iron gates crowned with the infamous motto "Arbeit macht frei" (work makes you free).
