Overview

This immersive tour invites you to discover Kazimierz and Podgorze Krakow’s historic quarters through the lens of remarkable personalities, traditional cuisine, and rich artistic expression.

Begin in the Old Town, tracing the footsteps of early Jewish settlers and uncovering legends of royal swords and Esterka. As we explore hidden courtyards and synagogues, you’ll hear stories of the prominent Fiszel and Isserlis families, of Helena Rubinstein and rabbi Dow Ber Meisels. Along the way, you’ll discover local galleries, murals, and religious art.

Continue to Podgórze, the WWII-era Jewish ghetto. Learn about the life in the ghetto through the stories of its Jewish residents, the Schindler Jews and the Christians who helped the Jews.

Along the tour, get introduced to the traditional Polish Jewish cuisine in historic eateries. Whether your passion is history, food, or culture, this immersive tour offers a heartfelt journey into Krakow’s living Jewish legacy.
