Krakow: Jewish Quarter and WWII Tour

Discover Krakow's Jewish Quarter and learn about the events of WWII on a free walking tour in English.

Explore Krakow's Jewish Quarter and learn all about Jewish culture in Krakow. Experience how Jews had to live their lives during the Second World War on our free walking tour in English: a journey through cobbled streets, past the (former) synagogues, iconic buildings and centuries of fascinating history. This district, called Kazimierz, was at the heart of the Second World War. During this tour we also visit the Podgórze district, where all Jews were forced to move during the war. Because Hitler wanted to preserve Kazimierz, it remained one of the few districts virtually untouched during the Second World War and is today one of the best-preserved districts in Europe. We end our tour in Podgórze at the well-known monument with the empty chairs. You will see highlights such as the Old Synagogue, the Remuh Synagogue, Schindler's List film locations, the Krakow Jewish Ghetto, Plac Nowy, the Ghetto Pharmacy and more, guided by a local who truly knows the city. After the tour you also get handy tools to explore Krakow like a local: a map of public toilets, places to eat, ATMs and even our personal "Black List" (yes, those places we would rather you avoid 😉). Everything is carefully put together to make your stay easier, tastier and more authentic.
