Description
Itinerary
Immerse yourself in Kazimierz, the most local and beloved district in Krakow. This is a former Jewish quarter, where every single home and building has its own fascinating story to tell — we'll discover them as we explore, eat, drink, and mingle with locals. This tour will blend Krakow’s past and present in a way that showcases how the city’s history helped to shape the Krakow you see today.
This is also the neighborhood in which portions of Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List were filmed.
We will show you the synagogue and old Jewish cemetery and we will visit a WWII Museum located in the Schindler’s Factory without a line. We will take you to the real, not touristic part of Kazimierz and Podgórze neighborhoods you will never find on your own.
Synagogues and cultural centers stand side-by-side with charming bars and restaurants, while original Jewish inscriptions meet with modern murals, and kosher, traditional food can be found alongside modern food trucks.
Curious about what we mean? Imagine a square, which once housed a kosher slaughterhouse; that’s where you’ll now find one of the best spots to get a favorite local snack in Krakow, zapiekanka, an open-face sandwich.
