Itinerary
The first stop on the walking tour of the Kraków Ghetto is the remains of the Ghetto Walls — a stark reminder of the confinement that once separated its residents from the rest of the city.
From there you continue to Ghetto Heroes Square, the heart of the ghetto, where deportations to extermination camps took place. Today the square is marked by the symbolic Chair Memorial, each chair representing lives lost.
Across the square stands the Under the Eagle Pharmacy, where Tadeusz Pankiewicz and his staff courageously aided ghetto residents, preserving medicine and hope.

About Krakow
Kraków, Poland's royal former capital, has a beautifully preserved medieval old town, crowned by Wawel Castle above the Vistula River.
The Main Market Square, one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, is lined with burghers' houses and centred on the arcaded Cloth Hall. St Mary's Basilica rises at one corner, its carved wooden altarpiece a Gothic masterpiece, and a trumpet call sounds from its tower through the day and night.
Top-ranked sights in Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, Rynek Glowny (Main Market Square), Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli).
