• The Ghetto Heroes Square - We will walk by the Ghetto Heroes Square which is just across the river in Podgorze suburb. Though after the war the name of Plac Zgody was changed to Plac Bohaterów Getta (Ghetto Heroes Square) and a small monument was erected, the space’s historical significance never felt more pertinent than its post-war use as a public toilet or parking lot. Finally, after decades of neglect, Plac Bohaterów Getta was renovated in 2005, sparking significant controversy over the design. Laid out with 70 large well-spaced metal chairs meant to symbolise departure, as well as subsequent absence, the entire square has essentially been turned into an odd, but iconic memorial to the victims of the Kraków Ghetto.
• Plaszow Concentration Camp - Our guided visit will start and your guide will be more than happy to show you around and give all the information you need to know.
  While thousands of tourists use Krakow as the starting point for visiting Auschwitz, few are aware that Krakow actually has a former concentration camp in its own backyard. On the other side of the river, in the depths of Podgórze, the vast area is almost undeveloped, despite the fact that it is located in one of the most desirable commercial and residential districts of the city - on the main communication artery (Wielicka Street), opposite a large shopping center (Bonarka) and not far from main tourist attraction (Krakus Mound). It is the former seat of the “Konzentrationslager Plaszow bei Krakau” - the German Nazi concentration camp in Płaszów, today a wild, uneven space of land, which until recently did not indicate its own existence, let alone its wartime history.
• Ghetto Wall Fragment - After our tour, we will pass by one of the most amazing Historical landmark in Kraków: The Fragment of Ghetto Wall.
  Kraków’s most prominent evidence of its ghetto is this 12-metre stretch of the original ghetto wall. In 1983, a commemorative plaque was raised, which reads in Hebrew and Polish: \

• Tram ticket

Upon reaching the erstwhile camp, we are reminded of the heart-rending events that transpired here from 1943 onwards, when Płaszów began accepting large influxes of Jews from the Krakow ghetto. You’ll have the opportunity to delve into the fascinating history of Krakow during the holocaust.

The 1993 film Schindler’s List, which details the life of Oskar Schindler, offers a depiction of the camp and conditions within it. Today, the site originally occupied by the camp is characterized by thinly-forested hills and meadows, with a significant memorial erected in remembrance of all its victims in 1964 and several smaller ones. Owing to the designation of the Plaszow vicinity as a nature reserve, director Steven Spielberg created a depiction of the camp in Liban Quarry, located a few hundred meters away.

Our tour encompasses all these sites, rendering an engaging and educational experience.
