What to expect

Get to know Kazimierz, the former Jewish district, with a private guide and see all of the most important places that related to the culture and history of its former inhabitants.

For many centuries Jews played their part in creating the history and culture of the city, before World War II they made up as much as 25% of the city's population. Learn about the rituals of Orthodox everyday life, Jewish holidays and kosher food.

Start your walk from Szeroka Street, which used to be the center of the so-called Jewish city, with buildings built in the 16th or 17th centuries. See The Old Synagogue, the Remuh Synagogue with the old cemetery (entrance), the building of the former ritual bathhouse and the house where the 'queen of cosmetics', Helena Rubinstein, was born.

Take a break, sipping a cup of coffee in the world-famous restaurant where Steven Spielberg hung out filming 'Schindler's List', and discuss the lives of the world-famous Jewish entrepreneurs.

Then, travel through the picturesque streets, where synagogues, ritual slaughterhouses and prayer houses are located. Stop at the Jewish Market Place and go to the so-called Schindler's Backyard which is showed in the film 'Schindler's List'. Your tour will end at the High Synagogue.
