Krakow, Jewish Quarter and Former Ghetto Tour

Experience an ancient, historically significant district within Poland as part of our guided tour. Delve into the rich heritage, vibrant culture, and unique traditions associated with the Jewish community in Kazimierz.

Kazimierz, an urban settlement situated in proximity to Krakow, has long served as a rival to its neighbor.

This location became a hub of Jewish prosperity, characterized by vibrant neighborhoods filled with bustling markets and synagogues.

Amongst the historical landmarks, visitors can explore the oldest synagogue in Poland, tracing the film scenes from "Schindler's List" and learning about key figures such as Helena Rubinstein, Roman Polanski, Ludwik Zamenhof, and Maximilian Faktorowicz. A two-and-a-half-hour guided tour offers insights into the rich Jewish heritage of Krakow, showcasing traditional customs and meeting the remarkable individuals who have shaped Polish Jewish history.
