There were times, throughout most recent history when Krakow did not seem all that multicultural and diverse. This tour will demonstrate how multicultural and diverse Krakow and Poland used to be in the past and what happened in Poland to have transformed our country into what it looks like these days. We started doing this tour as it is impossible to separate the lives and the history of Jews and Christians in Krakow. Kazimierz these days is referred to as a Jewish District however over many centuries it was a place of coexistence of both of these cultures. Find out where their history began back in the 11th century and why Jewish people ever chose the country of Poland for their settlements.
