Krakow: Former Jewish Quarter & Schindler's Factory Guided Tour

Szeroka Street is the center of old Jewish culture, where you can see old synagogues, palaces and majestic houses from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

The Old Synagogue is the oldest preserved synagogue in Poland and one of the most valuable monuments of Jewish religious architecture in Europe.

The Remuh Synagogue is the second oldest Jewish prayer house in Kraków. The synagogue and the adjacent cemetery form a unique and priceless complex of Jewish architecture and sacred art

.The Kupa Synagogue is the last synagogue built during the existence of the Jewish town.
It was also called Szpitalna because of its close proximity to the former Jewish hospital and the Poor, because the poorest members of the Jewish community prayed there.

Plac Nowy, today a popular meeting place and festival venue, was once known as Plac Żydowski. In 1900, a circular pavilion was erected in the middle of the square, with small grocery and butcher shops, and a fast-food bar with delicious casseroles, famous today in Krakow. On weekdays, the square is filled with stalls selling vegetables and antiques. On Sunday mornings it turns into a busy clothing market. The whole square is surrounded by cafés and pubs popular in the city, which on warm summer nights spill over the square and form one giant beer garden.

The Corpus Christi Church is distinguished by its size, importance and architecture. Its beauty is best shown in the interior of the temple, where the gothic stone walls harmonize with the gold of the baroque.

The Father Bernatek Footbridge is a unique place in Podgórze, built in 2010 on the site of the former Podgórze bridge, it connects Kazimierz with Podgórze.
