Private electric golf cart tour
Jewish Ghetto & Schindler Factory tour by electric golf cart
Learn the history of Podgórze on this private Jewish Ghetto tour in Krakow – a focused 30-40 minutes tour by electric cart. The Nazis established the Krakow Ghetto here in 1941, confining over 15,000 Jewish residents behind walls until liquidation in 1943. Deportations to camps frequently started from these exact streets.
A driver operates the quiet electric cart while an audio guide explains the key facts and personal stories in your language. You travel in a comfortable electric cart throughout the tour, with the route covering the main locations of the Jewish Ghetto in Krakow and short stops at key landmarks.
This private tour gives an outside view only of the wartime Ghetto area and Oskar Schindler’s Factory – no museum entry is included. It combines easily with a Kazimierz tour, so you can cover both pre-war Jewish heritage in Kazimierz and the wartime Ghetto in one day.

Ghetto Heroes Square (Plac Bohaterów Getta)
The former central square of the Ghetto. The memorial of over 70 empty chairs marks the place of round-ups and deportations, standing as a quiet tribute to those who perished.
Eagle Pharmacy (Apteka Pod Orłem)
This pharmacy operated inside the Ghetto boundaries. Its Polish owner provided medicine, food, and hidden messages to support Jewish residents. The site now serves as a small museum.
Remains of the Ghetto wall
View the preserved sections of the original Kraków Ghetto wall. Some parts were deliberately shaped like tombstones – a powerful and harsh reminder of the tragic events that took place during the occupation.
Podgórski Market Square (Rynek Podgórski)
Drive through Podgórski Market Square, a historic square that continued to exist before, during, and after the war. It represents the everyday life of Podgórze that carried on just outside the Ghetto boundaries.
St. Joseph’s Church
See the neo-Gothic St. Joseph’s Church near the former Ghetto boundary. This prominent church remained a visible landmark throughout the war years and held special significance for the local community.
Drive-by view of Oskar Schindler’s Factory area
Pass the exterior of the former enamel factory (now the Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum) and view famous ‘Schindler’s List’ film locations. The commentary explains how Oskar Schindler saved over 1,200 Jewish workers here – museum entry needs a separate ticket.
Is this a private tour?
Yes. This is a private tour exclusively for your group – no sharing with other passengers.
How many people can join one electric golf cart?
One Melex comfortably fits up to 7 passengers + the driver. For larger groups, we can split you into several Melex carts so everyone travels comfortably.
Is the tour suitable for children and elderly?

What happens if it rains?
Our golf carts are fully equipped for Krakow weather. They feature protective covers and transparent foils that fully close the vehicle, so you stay dry and comfortable even in light to moderate rain.
Is it cold in the cart during winter?
In winter the cart has a heater that keeps the interior warm. We also provide cozy blankets for extra comfort on colder days. The cart is fully enclosed with transparent foils that block wind completely.
