Half-day tour of the Jewish district in Krakow

No visit to Krakow would be fully valuable without a tour of Kazimierz. For centuries it remained an independent town and it's inseparably bound with the history of Polish Jews. Bear in mind that the city wasn't destroyed during the II World War so Kazimierz is one of the best preserved Jewish districts in this part of Europe. Today Kazimierz is a district of Krakow situated within a walking distance of the Old Town, attracting tourists with its unique atmosphere and history. For me, it's one of the most important history lessons you can experience in Poland - not only about a special time, place and people but about us, the human beings, the good and the evil.

The tour includes: Szeroka Street, once the Jewish town's main square Old Synagogue (today the museum) Remuh Synagogue with the old Jewish Cemetery, the burial place of one of the most renowned Polish-Jewish scholar - Rabbi Remuh, the only synagogue in regular operation Jozefa Street and High Synagogue the Tempel (Progressive) Synagogue the Nowy Square and Wawrzynca Street The tour of Kazimierz is also a lesson of traditions of Polish Jews, their religion and customs. As our tour is private a lot depends on you - coffee or shopping breaks, additional attractions on the way, architectural jewels that are not far away but they are not included in the general itinerary. For example the tour can be extended with the sightseeing of Christian part of Kazimierz, which is famous for its beautiful gothic churches. So please, do not hesitate to contact me for a customized tour.
