Tour description

Join our free tour of the Jewish Kazimierz and the Ghetto to explore the places where the Jewish community thrived before the Holocaust.

The Jewish Quarter in Krakow is an exceptional place, as this is the only Quarter of its kind that survived the Nazi occupation in Poland. Why? and What are the historians’ theories about it? We will bring it to light during our tour that covers the most important synagogues in Kazimierz district and the places where famous Jewish people lived peacefully next to the Christian community for centuries. The last part of our tour will take you to the Ghetto where Nazis located all the Jews of Krakow in March 1941.

We will talk about the Holocaust, Oscar Schindler, ‘Schindler’s List’ by Spielberg, and many other important issues. On the way back we will walk along the same streets where Schindler's List was filmed.

Met our guide Ella who was friendly and very knowledgeable about the Jewish Quarter, disappointed that when the tour ended we were left stranded nowhere near the starting point of the tour and had to find our own way back.

This was a really interesting tour. Our guide pointed out places of interest that we would have missed on our own. She was very knowledgeable about the area and its history.
