Kraków: Kazimierz District Jewish Heritage Tour

2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: German and 1 more

The Holocaust almost totally destroyed the rich culture of Polish Jews. Almost. Experience the mixture of feelings - sadness, nostalgia, hope, and discover the rebirth of Kraków’s Jewish district.
Let’s meet in one of the most interesting parts of Kraków’s, Kazimierz - the only Jewish city of medieval Europe, which survived to this day. We will talk about the coexistence of two cultures and religions, traditions of Kraków’s Jews, their customs, and famous Poles of Jewish origin.

On numerous squares, surrounded with synagogues, near the ghetto wall, we will talk about events that were important for Jewish history and culture. Together, we will look for answers to difficult questions.

Nowadays, Kazimierz is one of the most popular (also among locals!) parts of Krakow, with a unique, bohemian atmosphere and vibrant nightlife.
