Itinerary

  • Ghetto Wall Fragment

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not Included
    The tour starts outside Schindler’s Factory on Lipowa Street. Without entering the museum, your guide explains how Schindler used his enamelware factory as a means of protection, turning employment into a shield against deportation and death. This introduction provides essential context for understanding both the historical events and their later depiction in film. As you continue through Podgórze, you walk through the area of the former ghetto. On Tarnowskiego Street, you will see where the well-known girl in the red coat scene was filmed, leading to a discussion about symbolism, Schindler’s change of conscience, and the influence of cinema on Holocaust memory. Crossing the Piłsudski Bridge — once a dividing line between freedom and confinement — your guide explains forced relocations, illegal crossings, and the harsh separation between Jewish life in Kazimierz and imprisonment in the ghetto.
  • Kazimierz

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    The second part of the tour explores Kazimierz, once a thriving center of Jewish life in Kraków. As you walk its historic streets and courtyards, you’ll learn how the district was emptied during the occupation and later used as a filming location to recreate the destroyed ghetto. See key sites from Schindler’s List, including the symbolic ghetto gate at Dajwór and Na Przejściu Streets, Poldek Pfefferberg’s escape on Ciemna Street, and original courtyards on Józefa Street where deportation scenes were filmed. The tour concludes on Szeroka Street, surrounded by historic synagogues, where you’ll hear about prewar Jewish life and why Spielberg chose Kazimierz as the backdrop. This is history you don’t just hear — you walk through it, witnessing how ordinary places became silent witnesses to survival, courage, and moral choices.
