Meet up with a local, English-speaking guide to delve into the Jewish heart of Krakow on this interesting Urban Adventure. Begin by hopping on a local tram to ride to the historic district of Kazimierz. This area is known as the epicentre of Jewish culture in Krakow, so there's no better place to uncover Jewish heritage and customs than here!
Walk through the old Jewish Quarter and soak up the history that lives on here. Continue on to visit an orthodox synagogue before walking to one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Poland. Here, learn about Jewish funerary traditions, visit famous graves and find out about the symbolism of certain tombstones. Next, walk to the New Square, which houses a cultural centre and pre-war kosher slaughterhouse. Take the chance to sample a traditional Polish snack called 'zapiekanka', which is sold from street carts nearly 24 hours a day. Why not learn some Polish language from your guide and order the snack yourself? After finishing your tasty treat, continue on to see the place where many of the scenes from the award-winning movie 'Schindler's List' were filmed by Steven Spielberg years ago. Next, continue the adventure by walking to another, more modern synagogue. Reformed Judaism is more liberal, so you will notice the difference between the design and style of this synagogue as compared to the orthodox one visited earlier on in the tour. Continue the walk by visiting a significant bridge and monument, commemorating the many lives that were lost during WWII. The journey ends at Oskar Schindler's factory, the place where more than 1,000 Jewish lives were saved decades ago. Choose to independently visit the interesting museum here, head back to the city centre or stop for a coffee at a local cafe to toast the end of this adventure. For your Tour you will be in a small group of a maximum of 12 people.
