What to expect

Visit the Kazimierz district - this is where Jewish culture once flourished, the preserved traces of which have survived to this day.
Szeroka Street is the centre of old Jewish culture surrounded by old synagogues, palaces and majestic houses from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
Schindler’s Factory Museum presents the daily life and tragic events that took place in Krakow during World War II. The home of the museum is the site of the Schindler’s Factory shown in the Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" by Stephen Spielberg. The unusual and modern exhibition of the museum will not leave anyone indifferent.
The Ghetto Heroes Square is a square in the Podgórze district of Krakow.
In the years 1941–1943 it was within the ghetto. It was a place of concentration of the Jewish population before transport to concentration camps.
Currently, there is an unusual monument in this place - several dozen cast-iron chairs standing individually in the square. They symbolize the items left over from the liquidation of the ghetto.
