Throughout our journey, we'll be immersed in the rich traditions of Jewish culture as we visit the Jewish Quarter and the family home of Helena Rubinstein. We'll also hear about the Nissembaum Family Foundation at their memorial stone and see old Jewish shops that tell tales of yesteryear.

As our tour continues, we'll journey through the former Krakow Ghetto, visiting sites immortalised in the 1993 film "Schindler's List." We'll hear more stories about Oskar Schindler and his factory. We'll also pay a visit to Ghetto Heroes Square and the Pharmacy under the Eagle, where the heroic Tadeusz Pankiewicz lived.

Next, we'll experience the solemnity of the Ghetto Wall memorial site at ul. Lwowska, where an original fragment of the walls from the Second World War still stands. Along the way, we'll pass by other significant sites such as the Church of St. Joseph, Skałka Church, the Church of St. Catherine, and Wolnica Square, home to the Jewish City Hall.

Finally, after a total of 1.5 hours, the tour will come to an end.
