Free tour of the historic center and the Jewish quarter

It is the perfect route if you are visiting Krakow for the first time and want to see its main monuments and the history they hold. Or if you don't have much time or don't want to take two separate tours with the additional time that would entail.

Through this route, you will learn why the city of Krakow was declared a World Heritage Site, delighting us through the tour of its architectural diversity. Throughout this tour, we will focus on visiting the two most touristic and fundamental areas of the city: the historic center and the Jewish quarter.

We will start our tour in the central area, visiting the theater, the medieval walls, and other structures, then head to the market square and focus on its monumental significance. Subsequently, we will tour the university district where figures such as John Paul II or Copernicus were academically trained.

The archbishop's palace or the Franciscan basilica will be other highlights, and we will visit the entire Wawel complex, ascending the hill to analyze the city's cathedral and all the buildings that are part of this wonderful architectural complex.

Additionally, you will get to know one of the most traditional and interesting neighborhoods: "Kazimierz". This is where the first Jewish communities that arrived in the city settled. We will analyze the reasons for these settlements and how the coexistence between Jews and Catholics was carried out. 

We will review the entire history of both communities in this area and delve into the aspects that have made the Jewish community one of the most important in history as well as one of the most controversial.

Likewise, I will provide you with all the advice and help necessary to make the most of your experience in the city.
