About this activity

Heritage & Film History: Discover Kazimierz, the former ghetto and Plaszow on our Schindler's List Tour with a Dutch guide. Krakow, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, is rich in history from Nazi occupation to Soviet control. Explore the most important locations and film sets of Schindler's List with us. We visit Plaszow concentration camp, including the memorial, film props and the commandant's villa. Our guide will share behind-the-scenes film insights. Afterwards, we will walk to Schindler's Factory and see part of the original ghetto wall. Crossing Plac Bohutera, the old ghetto entrance, we will explore the Jewish district of Kazimierz, where much of the film was shot. After about 4 hours, we say goodbye in Kazimierz.
