About this activity

Explore Krakow's historic Jewish Quarter, Kazimierz, with a guide tracing 700 years of Jewish heritage from medieval settlements through WWII to today's vibrant cultural hub. This walking tour covers UNESCO-protected streets, surviving synagogues, cemeteries, and locations featured in Spielberg's Schindler's List.

Excursion on the Jewish Kazimierz (UNESCO monument) is devoted to history and traditions of the Jewish people, since XIV century up to now: the closed life of the first settlements, assimilation of XIX century, tragic death during the Second World War, history of filming of Steven Spielberg`s film "Schindler`s List". 

Today, Kazimierz is one of the most fashionable areas in Krakow, where synagogues still stand, old cemeteries, cafes and shops have been preserved.
