Discover the secrets of the communist paradise. Can you imagine sharing your bathroom with a fish for a week? Or standing ten hours in a cue to buy a toilet paper? Or simply waiting in front of a closed shop till 1 p.m., with a terrible hangover, before you could buy a beer? We don’t think you can…. But this is our experience. Poland after the Second World War was one of the communist countries, where terror and sorrow was mixed with the comic and the absurd situation. We invite you to Nowa Huta, the city which was as a communist paradise, and at the same time a fortress, prepared to defend its citizens in case of an attack on the Soviet Bloc from the West. And it is here where you have a unique chance to see modern houses and squares created according to Leonardo da Vinci plans, experience the taste of vodka and herring, admire the size of the Steelworks Complex or visit the church which is the symbol of freedom.
