What you can expect

  • Step back into the dramatic history of World War II on an informative, respectful guided walking tour through Krakow's Podgórze district - the site of the wartime Jewish Ghetto.

    Accompanied by a knowledgeable local licensed guide, you will trace the tragic events from the establishment of the enclosed ghetto in March 1941 to its brutal liquidation in March 1943.

    Begin your walk at Ghetto Heroes Square (Plac Bohaterów Getta), once the central assembly point for deportations, now home to a poignant memorial of oversized empty bronze chairs. Learn about the legendary “Under the Eagle” Pharmacy located on the corner of the square, where Polish pharmacist Tadeusz Pankiewicz risked his life to help ghetto residents.

    Walk along the historic streets to see one of the few surviving authentic fragments of the Jewish Ghetto wall, deliberately constructed by the Nazis in the shape of Jewish tombstones. Your guide will share authentic stories of resistance, daily survival, and the residents whose lives crossed paths with Oskar Schindler.

    This outdoor walking tour is an essential, deeply moving experience for anyone seeking to understand Krakow's wartime chapter and the resilience of its people.
