Itinerary:

Ghetto Walls / 20min / Admission Ticket Free

Meet your private guide outside Schindler’s Factory Museum, where your walk begins with an introduction to the Nazi occupation of Kraków and the creation of the ghetto.

The first stop is the remains of the Ghetto Wall — a rare fragment of the barrier that once divided lives and families. Your guide will explain its construction, symbolism, and the fates of those trapped within.

Ghetto Heroes Square / 20 min / Admission Ticket Free

Continue to Ghetto Heroes Square, once called Plac Zgody, where deportations took place. Here, pause by the iconic Chair Memorial — a silent tribute to thousands who never returned.
