• Monument to Janusz Korczak - After being picked up from the hotel, the guide provides an introduction to the historical context of Jewish Warsaw and the establishment of the Jewish Ghetto during World War II, setting the stage for the upcoming visits.

The tour starts at the monument honoring Janusz Korczak, a Polish-Jewish educator, author, and director of a Warsaw orphanage. Despite having the chance to escape, he chose to stay with the children under his care and was deported with them to the Treblinka extermination camp.

• Grzybowski Square - The next stop is Grzybowski Square, which was once part of Jewish Warsaw and now reflects the city’s dramatic 20th-century history. This area experienced two world wars, two totalitarian regimes, and the transformation of modern Europe. Nearby streets still hold remnants of pre-war Jewish life.
• Prozna Street (Ulica Prozna) - Próżna Street is the only street in Warsaw where pre-war Jewish tenement houses have survived. Today, it serves as a rare physical reminder of Jewish Warsaw and becomes a focal point during the annual Singer’s Warsaw Jewish Culture Festival.
• Fragment of Ghetto Wall - Visit a preserved section of the Warsaw Ghetto Wall, marking the former boundary of the ghetto. Some parts remain hidden between buildings, and the guide takes you to one of the accessible spots to explain how the area was isolated from the rest of the city.
• Kamienica przy Waliców 14 - At Waliców Street, view a ruined tenement house often referred to as the last visible “ghost” of the ghetto. A fragment of the ghetto wall is also preserved here, providing a powerful visual reminder of destruction and loss.
• Chlodna Street - At Chłodna Street, learn about the wooden bridge constructed in 1941 to connect the two separated parts of the ghetto. The bridge rose above active street traffic, allowing trams and German vehicles to pass underneath. Archival photographs help illustrate this extraordinary structure.
• Muranów - Continue to Muranów, a post-war residential district built directly on the rubble of the destroyed ghetto. Although it appears to be a typical neighborhood, the ground beneath holds layers of wartime history revealed through the guide’s explanations.
• Pomnik Bohaterow Getta - Visit the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, located near the site of the first armed clashes of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The area also symbolizes post-war remembrance and reconciliation through events held over the last several decades.
• POLIN Muzeum Historii Zydow Polskich - Stop outside the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, built on the former ghetto grounds. The museum’s name refers to a legend associated with Jewish settlement in Poland. Entrance is optional and not included in the tour price.
• Memorial at Mila 18 - At Mila 18, learn about the bunker used by Jewish resistance fighters during the 1943 uprising. When discovered by German Nazi forces, many of those hiding inside chose death rather than capture. Their remains are buried beneath the site.
• Umschlagplatz - The tour concludes at the Umschlagplatz, the former deportation point where Jews were transported to the Treblinka extermination camp. Today, the memorial at Stawki Street stands as a solemn reminder of the final chapter of Jewish life in wartime Warsaw.

This exclusive tour of the Warsaw Jewish Ghetto delves into one of the most somber periods of World War II history. Prior to the war, Warsaw was among the largest Jewish cities globally.

Traveling in a classic Żuk retro minibus enables visits to several historically significant sites that are challenging to access on foot. Accompanied by an expert local guide, participants will gain insights into daily life under German Nazi rule, the mass deportations, and the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

The tour covers essential locations such as Grzybowski Square and Próżna Street, remaining sections of the Ghetto Wall, Waliców Street, Mila 18, the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, the POLIN Museum vicinity, and the Umschlagplatz.
