Overview

Admire the royal city from the deck of a modern catamaran on a scenic cruise along the Vistula River. As you glide past Wawel Castle, historic churches, and other landmarks, listen to informative commentary provided by the boat's advanced sound system, while taking in the stunning views from the open deck on a clear day. Even in cooler weather, the heated deck and plush leather sofas will keep you warm and comfortable.

Upon reaching your destination, meet your guide for a walk through the streets of Podgórze, the site of the former Jewish ghetto during the war. These streets still hold echoes of those tragic times. Explore a preserved section of the ghetto wall, the homes where thousands of displaced Jews once lived, the historic "Pharmacy Under the Eagle," and the poignant monument of empty chairs at Ghetto Heroes Square.

The Ghetto Heroes Square

Situated in the Podgórze district, which in 1941 was turned into the Krakow Ghetto, the former Plac Zgody [Concord Square] was designated 'Umschlagplatz' under the Nazi occupation, the place where the Jews had to congregate to be deported. Right next to the square there are symbolic places of those times - the Eagle Pharmacy (acting as an asylum, providing shelter during deportations, delivering messages or parcels in and outside the ghetto) and the Enamel Factory (employing Jewish residents of Krakow).
