Package: Old Town + Jewish tour in Wroclaw

The tour package “Old Town + Jewish tour” gives you an opportunity to see not only the most important places in the city center, but also discover the Jewish heritage of Wroclaw.

Discover Wroclaw, a city with more than a thousand years of history, which changed its name more than thirty times. Throughout the centuries the city was under the Polish, Bohemian, Habsburg and German authorities.

During the tour you get the chance to see the Old Town Hall, the Market Square, the Salt Square, the Pillory, the former Jewish Quarter, the Elizabeth Church, the Old Prison, the University’s main building, the Ossolinski National Library, the Market Hall and the oldest part of the city: the Cathedral Island. These places will help you get to know the rich and complicated history of the city and find out how Wroclaw has changed in the course of time.

We visit also the former Jewish Quarter, where the first rabbinical seminar in the world was opened and where the community of The White Stork Synagogue still takes care of the Jewish heritage. In addition, you will learn more about tolerance and cooperation in the Four Denomination District, which is the contemporary name of the former Jewish District.

After a walk in the city center and in former Jewish Quarter, we go by tram to the Old Jewish Cemetery, where we track the history of the Jewish community in its Golden Age in Breslau. Twelve thousand tombstones, various architectural styles, as well as numerous climbing plants, which cover the Matzevahs create an enchanting atmosphere.
