Join City Walks Krakow as we delve into the 700-year-old history of Krakow's Jewish Quarter. Discuss the occupation of the German Army during World War Two and visit the site of the former Kraków ghetto. Walk the cobbled streets past the Old synagogue, the oldfest Jewish Building in Poland, and visit the poignant, Empty Chairs Holocaust memorial. Learn about famous war heroes like Oskar Schindler and the Kraków ghetto Pharmacist as your guide talks you through how this quiet town was irrevocably changed during the Second World War. You will also learn about the area before the war and see how this once-forgotten part of Kraków is now a revived hub of street food and vibrant culture.
