Day 1
Warsaw
City/Town Tour at Warsaw Ghetto. A central part of the tour focuses on the tragedy of Warsaw’s Jewish population. Before the war, Warsaw was home to around 300,000 Jews.

See one of the last ruined tenement houses left intentionally unrestored on Waliców Street, standing as a physical reminder of the ghetto’s destruction. Nearby, learn about the wooden ghetto bridge over Chłodna Street, built high above traffic to connect two sealed parts of the ghetto.
