Walk Through Kazimierz and Podgórze

On this walking tour of the city, you will visit the following tourist attractions:

  • Wolnica Square - This magnificent square is a remnant of the old market square in Kazimierz.

  • Nowy Square - Nowy (New Square) is the heart of Kraków's Kazimierz, that is, the Jewish quarter, which is why it is often called the Jewish Square.

  • Szeroka Street - Szeroka, which is really more of a square than a street, represents the heart of the old Jewish district.

  • Plac Bohaterów Getta - A place that has seen joy, fear, and sorrow over the years of its existence, what was once Plac Zgody is now a square commemorating the Krakow Ghetto, where many perished and many more suffered an unknown fate.

  • Oskar Schindler's Factory - The museum operating in the former Schindler's Factory is among the most worthwhile museums to visit in Poland, as it is devoted to the subject of the Nazi occupation of Krakow and the fate of the Jews whom the industrialist helped.
