Overview

This tour has two stages. In the first one, we will drive a comfortable ecological golf cart in search of traces of Jewish culture through the Krakow districts of Kaimierz and Podgórze. Kazimierz is one of the oldest districts of the royal city, once an independent settlement, located behind the no longer existing branch of the Vistula River. First of all, it is a place known for the coexistence and interpenetration of two cultures over the centuries - Christian and Jewish. There was a Jewish ghetto in Podgórze during the war, traces of which can be found to this day.
In the second part, we will visit one of the most popular museums in the city with a guide. Although it is associated with the name of the German entrepreneur Oskar Shindler, who saved many Jews by employing them in his factory, the main topic of visiting the museum is the fate of Krakow and its inhabitants during the Nazi occupation. We will see this amazing interactive exhibition that really leaves no one indifferent.

Kazmierz The Former Jewish District (Pass by)
Once independent, the city situated south of Wawel was the hub of Jewish life in Kraków for centuries, and today it is one of the greatest tourist attractions of the city
Szeroka Street (Pass by)
Szeroka Street is the heart of Jewish Kazimierz. Let a testimony to its significance be the fact that four synagogues used to stand on the street, which was unheard of anywhere else in Europe
Muzeum Krakowa - Stara Synagoga (Pass by)
Standing on Szeroka Street Street, known not only as the stage of the final concert of the Jewish Culture Festival but also as the centuries-old centre of Jewish life in Kazimierz, is one of the oldest synagogues in Poland preserved in such a good condition
The New Square (Pass by)
Plac Nowy, today a popular meeting place and festival venue, was once known as Plac Żydowski (Jewish Squre). In 1900, a circular pavilion was erected in the middle of the square, with small grocery and butcher shops, and a fast-food bar with delicious casseroles, famous today in Krakow. On weekdays, the square is filled with stalls selling vegetables and antiques. On Sunday mornings it turns into a busy clothing market. The whole square is surrounded by cafés and pubs popular in the city, which on warm summer nights spill over the square and form one giant beer garden.
Church of St. Joseph (Pass by)
The parish church of St Joseph is a distinctive, widely recognisable sites of devotion.It dominates over the surface of the Podgórze Market Square, a central point of the town which only in the 20th century was incorporated to Cracow.
