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.

The interior of the café was characterized by ornate walls, furniture, chandeliers and columns appropriately designed for the premises...

The steelworks was one of the largest steel producers in Poland.

He came to a well-deserved retirement in Nowa Huta over 40 years ago. Her turn is pretty good with his military green. Children love him, tourists want a compulsory photo with him, and only one thing sometimes brings some reluctant glances.
