    Krakow

    Kazimierz Jewish Quarter Begin your journey in Kazimierz, Kraków’s historic Jewish Quarter and one of the city’s most fascinating districts. For centuries, this area was the heart of Jewish life in Kraków — a vibrant center of faith, learning, and community. Walk along its narrow cobbled streets lined with centuries-old synagogues, prayer houses, and traditional townhouses. Hear stories of rabbis, merchants, and families who shaped the rhythm of daily life long before the war. Your guide will bring to life the sounds, colors, and traditions that once filled these streets — from bustling marketplaces to moments of quiet reflection in hidden courtyards.

    Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera

    Step into one of Kraków’s most visited museums — Schindler’s Enamel Factory, where history comes alive through powerful exhibitions and expert storytelling. This is not a simple biographical museum, but a comprehensive journey through the years of Nazi occupation, showing how war transformed the city and the lives of its people. With a licensed expert guide, you’ll skip the long ticket lines and explore the exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945.” Housed in the former enamel factory of Oskar Schindler, the museum focuses not only on his story, but above all on the daily experiences of Kraków’s Jewish and non-Jewish residents during the war. As you move through the galleries, you’ll encounter original artifacts, photographs, and immersive reconstructions. Much of the exhibition unfolds in a series of narrow, dimly lit rooms, deliberately designed to make visitors feel confined — echoing the fear, pressure, and uncertainty that dominated life under Nazi rule.

    1 hour 30 minutes Admission ticket included
