Overview

This is not a general sightseeing tour — it is a focused and powerful WWII and Holocaust experience in Krakow.

Unlike standard city tours that combine multiple districts, this experience is dedicated entirely to the Jewish Ghetto and the story of Nazi occupation. By focusing on one area, you gain deeper insight, stronger storytelling, and a more meaningful understanding of what happened here.

Traveling by electric golf cart allows you to cover key historical sites comfortably in just 45 minutes — ideal for visitors with limited time who still want a high-impact experience.

With immersive audio commentary, you will hear real stories of life inside the ghetto, deportations to Auschwitz, and the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler.

This tour is designed to be short, intense, and unforgettable — offering depth rather than distance.

Itinerary

Stop 1

Plac Bohaterów Getta in Krakow (formerly Plac Zgody) was the historical heart of the Jewish Ghetto in Podgórze (1941–1943). It was the site of selections, executions, and deportations of thousands of Jews to extermination camps. Today, it is commemorated by a memorial of 33 large cast-iron chairs and 37 smaller ones, symbolizing abandoned belongings and the emptiness left behind by former residents.

Stop 2

The “Under the Eagle” Pharmacy in Krakow is a place of remarkable history. During World War II, it served as a refuge and a source of help for Jewish residents of the Krakow Ghetto. Run by Tadeusz Pankiewicz, it became a symbol of courage and humanity.

Stop 3

The Oskar Schindler Enamel Factory in Krakow (4 Lipowa Street) was established in 1937 as a Jewish-owned company called “Rekord.” In 1939, it was taken over by German entrepreneur Oskar Schindler, who produced enamelware and military equipment there. By employing Jewish workers from the Krakow Ghetto and later from the Plaszow camp, Schindler saved the lives of around 1,200 Jews.

Stop 4

The walls of the Krakow Ghetto, built by the Germans in 1941 in the Podgórze district, symbolized isolation and terror. They enclosed an area where over 15,000–20,000 Jews were forced to live in overcrowded conditions. Today, two sections of the wall remain (at Lwowska Street 25–27 and in the Podgórze Planty Park), serving as a physical reminder of the destruction of Krakow’s Jewish community (1941–1943).
