Krakow Day Tour
This guided tour of Kraków offers a thoughtful overview of one of Europe’s most historically significant cities. As the first city in Europe recognized on the UNESCO World Heritage list, Kraków reflects centuries of cultural and architectural development. Known as a center of learning and humanism, it was home to Gothic sculptor Veit Stoss, who lived and worked here for nearly two decades. The tour begins at Wawel Hill, where you’ll visit the Royal Castle, home to a collection of Flemish tapestries that highlight northern European Renaissance craftsmanship. Next, step into Wawel Cathedral, the site of royal coronations and burials. From here, continue to the Kazimierz district, once a thriving center of Jewish life before World War II. Drive through narrow streets bearing names such as Isaac and Jacob, and stop at the Remuh Synagogue and the Old Synagogue, now home to a museum focusing on Jewish life in Kraków. The final stop is the museum in the former Oskar Schindler Factory. The exhibition, Kraków Under Nazi Occupation: 1939–1945, presents key events from the wartime period. Through personal stories, recreated interiors, and historical context, it reflects on the broader experiences of Kraków’s population—both Jewish and non-Jewish—during this difficult time.
