Discover the dynamic allure of Kazimierz, Kraków’s Jewish Quarter. Immerse yourself in its history, culture , and eclectic cafes, experiencing its unique and vibrant atmosphere.
There were times, throughout most recent history when Krakow did not seem all that multicultural and diverse. This tour will demonstrate how multicultural and diverse Krakow and Poland used to be in the past and what happened in Poland to have transformed our country into what it looks like these days.
Did you know that in the 16th century most of the world's Jewish population lived in Poland (around 75%)? Poland is very significant in the history of the world's Jews. Let me take you on an informative journey through the history of Jewish people in Poland.
