Full description

During World War II, the Poguzhe district was the site of a Jewish Ghetto. 75 years after the end of the war, the district still keeps this heritage alive. The area serves to remind visitors of the horrors of war and the need to prevent such things from happening again.

Visit the famous Plac Bohaterów Getta (Ghetto Heroes' Square), where Jewish inhabitants of Krakow were identified and sent off to concentration camps. See a fragment of the original ghetto wall, which now serves as a monument and place of pilgrimage for many Jewish people visiting from abroad. Continue to the buildings where thousands of displaced Jews used to live in cramped conditions. The final stop will be the famous "Under the Eagle" pharmacy.

Very interesting relatively short tour of the Ghetto area - not to be confused with the Jewish quarter area which is another tour but sometimes combined on other tours. Fillip our guide was excellent and we had a very small group. We also had Fillip when we did the Schindler museum - we did several different tours whilst in Krakow and he was the best tour guide we had
