The experience

The tour starts at Krakow's Main Market Square and moves into Kazimierz, the former Jewish district now known as "the City Inside the City." Your guide walks you through charming narrow streets past old tenement houses and cosy coffee shops, stopping at the Old Synagogue, the oldest existing synagogue in Krakow, and the Remuh Synagogue. Most of the Jewish synagogues cluster around Szeroka Street, which once served as the main square of the Jewish town itself.

Along the way, you'll hear stories about the heroic figures of Kazimierz and the experiences of Jewish residents who lived there. The itinerary includes the Jewish Cemetery and several sites where Steven Spielberg filmed Schindler's List. A local licensed guide leads the group in English, keeping numbers small so the narrow streets and historic sites don't feel crowded.

The walk covers three hours at a pace suitable for all fitness levels. Public transportation runs nearby if you need it, and service animals are welcome.
