Description

Explore the rich tapestry of Jewish Kazimierz, a district that has experienced both sorrow and joy throughout the centuries. This historical place has witnessed many stories - from the isolated lives of its earliest settlers to its transformation into the hippest quarter of 21st-century Kraków.

On this tour, you'll discover how the first settlers lived, how World War II impacted the city's fate, and why Judaism and Christianity are deeply intertwined in the Jewish district.

The journey begins on Szeroka Street, filled with iconic spots - the Old Synagogue, a ritual bath (Mikveh), retro-style restaurants, and quaint cafes. Then, walk through the active Remuh Synagogue and the oldest Jewish cemetery in Kraków. Pay a visit to the Church on the Rock and feel the colorful atmosphere of Wolnica Square.

The guide will tell you tales of the famous figures who once resided in Kazimierz, the rituals they observed, and the relationships they forged with their Polish neighbors.

The tour's endpoint is Oskar Schindler's Factory.
