Free Walking Tour of the Krakow Jewish Quarter
Description
Our tour begins at the Old Synagogue in the heart of Krakow's Jewish Quarter, or Kazimierz, originally an independent city founded by King Kazimierz III in the 14th century. For centuries was the center of Jewish life in Poland.
We'll continue by strolling down Szeroka Street, which is the epicenter of the Jewish Quarter, you'll learn all about some of Krakow's most important Jewish places of worship and their tumultuous history in the Second World War. Discover the Old Synagogue, built in the early 15th century; the Remuh Synagogue, which has the city's oldest Jewish graveyard; and the Isaac Synagogue, the biggest in an area full of former places of worship.
Hear all about the rich heritage of Jewish culture and history in Poland visiting the Jewish Community Center before making your way to Plac Nowy, or New Square, well known for its food stalls selling typical cuisine. Make sure you try zapiekanki, a local specialty, before you leave Krakow!
The tour will also take you to see some of the places where the Oscar-winning film Schindler's List was shot before coming to an end in the historic Ghetto Heroes Square, where we'll learn all about the ghetto in this area.
