Kraków · JEWISH QUARTER & HERITAGE TOURS
For five centuries Kazimierz was the heart of Jewish life in Kraków; across the river in Podgórze lie the wartime ghetto and Schindler’s factory. These walking and guided tours trace that history with care — the synagogues and squares of Kazimierz, the surviving ghetto wall, Plac Bohaterów Getta and its empty chairs.

“My wife and I have been on a lot of walking tours and this is definitely one of the best. Our guide (Lucy) did an excellent job. Oftentimes guides get too into the weeds, bombarding us with dates and names so a 2 1/2 hours long tour becomes totally exhausting. Lucy presented the important historical events and facts in an interesting way with narratives around people. She was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the Jews and the Jewish quarters and presented her knowledge in a straightforward and engaging way. I felt learned more on this tour than on most other tours I have been on.”
