Jewish Quarter Kazimierz and Schindler's Factory Guided Tour
Explore Krakow’s rich Jewish heritage and culture on a 3,5-hour walking tour with an expert guide. Jews comprised a quarter of Krakow’s population before World War II, and its Kazimierz district was the center of Jewish life. Explore this now resurgent area as your guide charts its prewar and wartime days and how Steven Spielberg used it as a backdrop for his movie ‘Schindler’s List.’ Walk the historic streets among numerous synagogues and visit the Oskar Schindler Factory museum to learn about the darkest hours of Krakow and its Jews.
