Itinerary

Kazmierz The Former Jewish District

2 hours Admission included

Begin your journey in Kazimierz, Kraków’s historic Jewish Quarter. Once a vibrant center of Jewish life, it now reflects centuries of faith and tradition. Walk its charming streets, visit the Old, Remuh, Kupa, and Tempel synagogues, and end at Plac Nowy, a lively square of cafés, markets, and local art.

This tour captures Kazimierz’s spirit, offering insight into its heritage, daily life, and resilience with a local guide.
Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera

1 h 30 min Admission included

Visit Schindler’s Enamel Factory, now one of Kraków’s most moving museums. With a licensed guide, explore the acclaimed exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945” and the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler.

Schindler employed Jewish workers and used his position and resources to protect them from deportation — more than a thousand lives were saved. Your guide will bring to life the stories of those known as “Schindlerjuden,” whose testimonies continue to resonate across generations.

The exhibition features photographs, personal belongings, and reconstructed streets that illustrate the fear, uncertainty, and daily struggles of Kraków’s residents. Against this backdrop of oppression, Schindler’s story emerges as one of courage, humanity, and hope.

one hour

Continue to the former Kraków Ghetto in Podgórze. Visit the remaining fragments of the Ghetto Walls, a stark reminder of the confinement that once separated residents from the city.

Next, explore Ghetto Heroes Square, the ghetto’s former center, now a memorial marked by empty metal chairs representing lives lost. Across the square stands the historic Under the Eagle Pharmacy, where Tadeusz Pankiewicz and his staff provided medicine, shelter, and hope. Your guide will share stories of courage, compassion, and moral choice during this dark period.
