Meeting Point

Old Syagogue, Szeroka Str.

Popper's Synagogue

Built by the wealthy merchant Wolf Popper, this small but storied synagogue carries more than just prayers in its walls — it carries a legend. Today the place is housing a peaceful library devoted to Jewish culture and history. A place where faith, fortune, and a touch of humor meet — and where every stone whispers a tale worth hearing.

Helena Rubinstein’s House

Step into the story of Helena Rubinstein, born Chaja Rubinstein right here in Kraków — a woman who turned a modest beginning into a global empire of beauty. From Kazimierz’s narrow streets to New York’s grand salons, she became one of the richest and most influential women of her time, redefining modern cosmetics and female entrepreneurship. Her family home on Szeroka Street stands as a quiet reminder that even the world’s greatest success stories can begin in the heart of Kraków’s Jewish quarter.

The Great Mikvah

Hidden beneath the lively streets of Kazimierz lies the Great Mikvah, Kraków’s historic ritual bath dating back to 1567. Once serving the city’s Jewish community, it offered spiritual purification in its deep, stone-lined pool, reached by forty steep steps. Though damaged during World War II, the building was later restored and today houses a restaurant and hotel, blending centuries of history with the vibrant life of modern Kraków. A place where sacred tradition quietly meets the rhythm of the present.

Jan Karski's Bench

Take a seat beside Jan Karski, the legendary Polish courier who risked his life to reveal the horrors of the Holocaust to the world. This bronze bench, one of several across the globe, honors his courage, compassion, and unwavering moral strength. Placed here on Szeroka Street, in the heart of Jewish Kraków, it invites visitors to pause, reflect, and remember a man who gave voice to those who could not speak.

Remuh Synagogue and Old Jewish Cemetery

Step through the gate at Szeroka 40, and you’ll find yourself in one of Kraków’s most remarkable places – the Remuh Synagogue and its adjoining Old Jewish Cemetery, a spiritual heart of Jewish Kazimierz since the 16th century.

The High & Kowea Itim le-Tora Synagogues

On Józefa Street stand two remarkable synagogues side by side – the High Synagogue and Kowea Itim le-Tora. Though different in age and architecture, together they form a unique corner of Jewish heritage, echoing centuries of study, prayer, and community life.

Ajzyk's Synagogue

The New Square/ Plac Nowy

Schindler's Passage

Tucked away in the historic streets of Kraków’s Kazimierz district lies a hidden passage steeped in history and cinematic memory—a place where the past and present converge in whispers of stories long told. This narrow, atmospheric passage gained international recognition as one of the filming locations for Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, forever linking it to the harrowing yet inspiring history of Kraków’s Jewish community during World War II.

Church of Corpus Christi

This 14th-century gem in Kazimierz is a peaceful slice of medieval Kraków. Step inside to discover its Gothic arches, historic cloisters, and the tomb of St. Stanislaus Kazimierczyk. A perfect spot to pause, soak in history, and feel the spirit of the old city.
