Overview of your Krakow tour:

Kazimierz is often described as a "former" or "historic" Jewish quarter, but the Jewish revival is more and more noticeable. It is here that at one moment we stand next to an original gravestone of a 15th century rabbi, and, then, right behind the cemetery wall, we can eat kosher falafel in a modern kind of eatery. The old buildings of synagogues, prayer houses, townhouses. . . . There is no better surrounding to learn about the Jewish culture and the restrictions, rituals and traditions which dictate almost all aspects of everyday life of religious people. Thanks to the fact that today Kazimierz has the most active Jewish community in Poland, we can also find out how the biblical traditions are continued in the 21 century.

Your Krakow tour itinerary

I will pick you up at your hotel lobby (or other place that you choose) and we will drive to the old part of Kazimierz. The highlights of our tour: - We will visit a synagogue and an old Jewish cemetary to learn about the most interesting aspects of Jewish religious life. - A walk through Szeroka Street will take us back to the times when the Jewish culture was flourishing in Krakow. - When passing old buildings, we will look for details which remind us of their Jewish origins. Why not go inside some of them to see how the old tradition is exposed right now? - Walking into 'the square of a hundred bars' we will talk about what happened with the Jewish quarter when World War 2 ended and how the movie "Schindler's List" helped to save this place. - We will visit a kosher shop and/or a café popular among young Jews in the city to experience the Jewish life in Kazimierz. After this gradual return to the 21st century we will get back to the car and finish the tour at whatever place is convenient for you.
