Highlights

Description

Explore two defining chapters of Kraków’s past in one meaningful journey. Begin in Kazimierz, the historic centre of Jewish life and tradition, walking through narrow cobbled streets lined with synagogues, prayer houses, and traditional townhouses. Your guide shares stories of rabbis, merchants, and families who shaped daily life here long before the war. Visit hidden courtyards and former market areas to learn about Jewish rituals, traditions, and everyday life.

Continue to Schindler’s Factory Museum with skip-the-line access and a licensed guide. The permanent exhibition, 'Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945,' presents a broad portrait of wartime life, focusing on both Jewish and non-Jewish residents. Original artifacts, photographs, and reconstructed interiors illustrate the atmosphere of fear and restriction during the occupation. The exhibition spaces are designed to evoke the emotional and physical experience of the era. Within this context, discover Oskar Schindler’s factory as a place of refuge that saved over one thousand Jewish workers.

This tour offers more than historical facts; it is an opportunity for memory and understanding, tracing the journey of Kraków’s Jewish community from cultural centre to survival amid war.
