Itinerary

Point #1 – Szeroka Street & Old Synagogue area

The lively heart of pre-war Kazimierz. Szeroka was once the main square filled with Jewish homes, shops, and prayer houses. The nearby Old Synagogue (Stara Synagoga) is one of the oldest surviving in Poland.

Point #2 – Remuh Synagogue & Cemetery

Pass the small Remuh Synagogue – still active today – and its historic cemetery, one of the few preserved Jewish burial grounds in Krakow from the 16th century.

Point #3 – Tempel Synagogue

View the beautiful Tempel Synagogue from outside. Known for its Moorish-style interior and progressive history, it stands as a symbol of 19th-century Jewish reform in Krakow.

Point #4 – High Synagogue (Wysoka Synagoga)

Built in the 16th century on the second floor (hence the name), it was one of the most important synagogues in Kazimierz and still has its original Renaissance interior features visible from outside.

Point #5 – Gestapo prison building

Drive past the building that served as a Gestapo prison during the Nazi occupation. Many Jewish residents and resistance members were held and interrogated here before deportation or execution – a somber reminder of the district’s wartime suffering.

Point #6 – Helena Rubinstein House (Dom Heleny Rubinstein)

Pass the house where Helena Rubinstein – the famous cosmetics entrepreneur and one of the world’s first self-made female millionaires – was born in 1872.
