Eagle Pharmacy (Apteka pod Orlem) Tours and Activities
134 Reviews
The Eagle Pharmacy (Apteka pod Orłem), Tadeusz Pankiewicz’s pharmacy in the heart of Podgórze, ran quite smoothly until 1941 when the Nazis closed off the surrounding area and created a ghetto for the Jewish community. And although Pankiewicz was offered to move the Aryan side of the city at the time, he chose to stay in his Krakow ghetto pharmacy, where he was able to supply the residents with medication and various pharmaceutical products that were not only used for health reasons but also to help them mislead the Gestapo; for example, many residents used hair dyes to disguise their identity, or even tranquilizers to keep children quiet during raids. The Ghetto pharmacy itself was often used as a shelter to Jews who escaped deportation to the camps.
The Eagle Pharmacy museum is now part of the Krakow Historical Museum and has been restored to its wartime appearance. Multimedia exhibits and various artifacts, as well as numerous testimonials from Holocaust survivors and Poles, inform visitors about the reality of life in the ghetto and the pharmacy’s role in a very intimate, hands-on way.

Jewish Quarter, Oskar Schindler's sites and Kraków under Nazi occupation
1
In the beginning we go to see the very well preserved medieval Jewish quarter in Kazimierz, with its most interesting, ancient streets: Meisselsa, Józefa and Szeroka. Having this background we go over the Wisła (Vistula) River to find out the history of the Closed Jewish District (ghetto) in Podgórze. We also see the remaining parts of the ghetto wall in a very striking "matsevah-like" shape. Then we visit the historical museum in the former Schindler's Factory in Zabłocie. The new (opened in 2010), interactive exhibition shows how Kraków looked like days before WWII started and how WWII affected its people. Finally we visit the area of the concentration and labour camp in Płaszów, the monument and a villa where infamous commandant SS-Hauptsturmführer Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes in the movie) used to live.

City Sightseeing in Krakow by Electric Car
You have probably ridden on a big bus called “double-decker” in any European capital at least once. Kraków, due to its historical specificity, narrow streets and a closed zone for public transport will not offer them. However, we have a real pleasure to offer you something similar, but much more comfortable and easier. Sightseeing on board of an eco-friendly, electric vehicle equipped with an audio system is a convenient and fast way of learning about Kraków's history and its monuments. A quiet, comfortable small car is permitted to go through the Old Town and drive its small and narrow streets. You can enjoy sitting in a comfortable car and adore this magnificent medieval city. During the tour, visitors have the unique opportunity to see the most beautiful places in the Old Town, Kazimierz – the old Jewish district, where you can explore traces of the Holocaust by going through the Kraków ghetto to the famous Oskar Schindler's Factory.

Private guided walking tour of Kazimierz, the former Jewish Quarter
The former Jewish quarter in Kazimierz (district of Kraków) is one of the best preserved Jewish quarters in Europe. Kazimierz (name after Kazimierz the Great, the last Piast and one of the greatest rulers in Polish history) used to be an independent city and from 15th century, a flourishing centre of Jewish religion and culture. The policy of religious tolerance allowed diverse groups of Jewish refugees from all over Europe to come and settle in Poland. Kazimierz became a safe paradise, dominated with the Jews. Today, however very few Jews live in Kazimierz, the district plays role of the artistic centre of Krakow and lots of bars, cafes and Jewish style restaurants help to feel its atmosphere. Your guide will also help you to recognize some of the sights that appeared in the Oscars winning "Schindler's list" movie which was shot in this area.
