About this activity

Explore Warsaw's profound Jewish heritage aboard a vintage Polish minibus, visiting sites from Europe's largest pre-war Jewish community. This intimate 3-hour private tour uncovers hidden memorials, museum districts, and historical landmarks that tell the story of a vibrant culture largely lost but not forgotten.

Warsaw was the biggest Jewish city in pre-war Europe and second on the planet, just after NYC. Approx. seven hundred people – that is the whole Jewish community in the Polish capital city today. There is not much left of it but not everything is gone. 

Tour the city of Warsaw inside a retro minibus to get a good look at the artifacts, relics, and remainings of the Jewish culture here. From many places en route especially worth mentioning is Grzybowski Sq. with Prozna st., the last piece of the ghetto wall, Umschlagplatz, Mila 18, POLIN museum neighborhood, and Korczak monument. 

To enter some places like a graveyard or synagogue you need to purchase an entrance fee (it’s not included in the tour price) and it's not possible to enter them on Saturdays. Many things on this private tour are up to you but when it comes to preparation, experience, and historical knowledge you can rely on the guide.

Were you waiting for a serious, deep, and detailed tour that focuses on Jewish heritage in Warsaw? Well, you found it. Thanks to a retro minibus Zuk it just possible, since the area of interest is to spread to cover it by walking tour. 

Don't get overwhelmed with the tremendous amount of historical knowledge, a massive number of places that are pure hidden gems, and plenty of references to art, movies, and literature. 

If that wouldn't be enough to check out the comprehensive plan for this tour. One starts with being introduced to the history of Jewish settlements in Warsaw from its cradle to the XIXth century. All that happens at Grzybowski sq., where Nozyk Synagogue (optional), Prozna st., and Korczak monument are located within meters. Move on to touch the last piece of the ghetto wall and admire the monument dedicated to heroes of the ghetto and victims of the holocaust located nearby POLIN museum. Today there is a whole new neighborhood in there built in the '50s basically on the top of Ghetto rubble. 

Anielewicz bunker at Mila 18 is just behind the corner and a little bit further away – there's Umschlagplatz. At this point, just the Jewish cemetery (optional), Walicow st. and Chlodna st. with wooden footbridge monuments and 3D pictures are ahead of you. Every place has got a story of its own!
