What you will see:

The tour takes you to the heart of the 700-year-old Jewish Quarter of Krakow including the World War Two ghetto.

Kazimierz was the centre of Jewish life in Poland. Wander through its picturesque cobbled streets past historic synagogues and temples and learn how this quaint part of Krakow was forever changed during the Second World War.

We visit the former Krakow ghetto, the empty chairs holocaust memorial, and Schindler’s List filming locations. As well as discussing the German Army’s occupation of Krakow. You'll also see how Kazimierz is now a revived hub of street art and food.

No trip to Krakow is complete without a visit to the Jewish Quarter.
