Full Day Krakow Jewish Heritage Tour

Experience the rich and complex history of Kraków’s Jewish community on this full-day private Kraków Jewish Heritage tour. From early settlers to the vibrant heyday of Jewish life, and through the devastating events of the 20th century, this tour offers a fascinating journey spanning several centuries.

Accompanied by your private guide, you’ll explore the historic Kazimierz district, home to seven synagogues and other key Jewish sites, and uncover hidden traces of Jewish life throughout the UNESCO-listed Old Town.

You’ll then venture to Podgórze, the district turned into the Jewish ghetto by the Nazis. Walking its old streets and squares, you’ll encounter remnants of the ghetto wall, wartime bullet marks, and the sites that tell the story of daily life under occupation. Visit the Płaszów concentration camp site, the Jewish cemetery, and the location of Oskar Schindler’s Factory, while your guide explains the realities of the war and separates fact from fiction in Spielberg’s Schindler’s List.

The tour includes a stop for lunch in Kazimierz, giving you a taste of local cuisine along the way.
