Starting Point and Easy Access to Krakow’s Old Town

The tour begins conveniently at the front of the abka shop, located at parking kiss and ride with coordinates 50.0604, 19.9443. This central location makes it simple to join the tour without hassle, especially for travelers staying near the city center. The golf carts are eco-friendly, providing a comfortable way to navigate narrow or busy streets while minimizing environmental impact.

As the tour kicks off, the guides lead visitors through Krakow’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Planty Park and the Church of St. Cross set the scene for a city that blends medieval architecture with vibrant street life. You’ll see the Sowacki Theater, remnants of the city walls, and the historic Barbican. Walking through Sawkowska and St. Johns Streets, the tour culminates at the Main Market Square, where the impressive St. Anne’s Church, the Town Hall, and the Wawel Castle create a picture-perfect backdrop for stories of royal Krakow.

Exploring Krakow’s Jewish Heritage in Kazimierz

Next, the Jewish district of Kazimierz becomes the focus of the tour. This area pulses with history and a distinctive atmosphere. The guide points out the most famous synagogues—including Tempel, Kupa, Isaac, Old Synagogue, and Remuh—highlighting their architectural and cultural significance. The Wolnica Square and the Jewish Town Hall are also on the route, offering insights into the centuries-long Jewish community in Krakow.

The tour also includes a walk past former Jewish shops and the family house of Helena Rubinstein, giving a tangible sense of the district’s long-standing influence. This part of the tour provides a layered understanding of Jewish life before WWII, as well as the community’s resilience and legacy that persists today.

Discovering the History of Podgórze and the Ghetto

The Podgórze district offers a stark contrast, focusing on the WWII era. The Ghetto Heroes Square features the iconic chair monument, symbolizing the suffering and resistance of Krakow’s Jewish population during Nazi occupation. The Eagle Pharmacy and Oskar Schindler’s Factory are key stops, narrating stories of hardship, heroism, and survival.

Fragments of the ghetto wall remain as poignant reminders of the past, and the guide provides context about life during this dark chapter of Krakow’s history. Visiting Podgórze helps visitors understand the scale of the Nazi occupation and the acts of courage that took place within this district.

Exploring Nowa Huta’s Socialist Architecture and Industrial Heritage

The last leg of the tour takes travelers to Nowa Huta, Krakow’s newest and most industrially significant district. Built as a model socialist city, Nowa Huta impresses with its monumental avenues and socialist realist architecture. The visit includes the Administrative Center of the former Lenin Steelworks, known as the Palace of the Doges, renowned for its distinct interiors and decorations that evoke the communist era.

The stories and anecdotes shared during this part of the tour offer insights into daily life under socialism and the industrial might represented by the steelworks. The district’s grand squares and industrial relics reveal how Nowa Huta was a symbol of Polish communist ideology and industrial power, making it a fascinating contrast to the historic Old Town.
