It helps to know where you're going, so take a look at the photo that I've added, which is a map of the Jewish Heritage Route. There are three parts of this review: REMUH SYNAGOGUE, GALICIA MUSEUM, and MIODOWA STREET REMUH SYNAGOGUE I don't recommend the Remu (or Remuh) Synagogue unless you have a special reason or connection to visiting... more

Parts of Schindler's List were filmed in Kazimierz, although I hadn't seen the movie when I was there. I didn't really know places to go, things to see, or what I was looking for.

Fantastic for a sunday morning wander to see a little bit more of the real Krakow. Lively atmosphere, good food and bars and interesting history. We went there twice it was so good!! Defintely worth a night out to get away from the main tourist spots and into somewhere more authentic. more

Kazimierz is a must if visiting Krakow. We stayed in Hotel Kazimierz which gave us plenty of time to wander the streets and explore this beautiful district.

The Old Jewish section is Krakow was lovely. We were able to attend synagogue services at the Remuh Synagogue built in the 15th century! Just amazing, the thought that we would be able to go to synagogue in Poland where our family was from! We stayed at a lovely small hotel in the section , the Hotel Eden. Nice people,... more
