CRACOW LOCAL TOURS - Kraków - Kazimierz


Kazimierz, the south-east quarter of Cracow, was the historical centre of Cracow's Jewish religious and social life.

Originally a separate town named after King Casimir the Great, it was incorporated into Cracow in the 18 century. The tour of Kazimierz takes you to the most important monuments in this area.

First you see the sites which Steven Spielberg used for his location shots of Oscar wining "Schindler's List". Then you visit the most precious monuments of Jewish culture in Cracow: the Old Synagogue (now Judaic Department of the Historical Museum of Cracow), the Remuh Cemetery.
