Description

Your guide will meet you at your hotel for a private 4-hour sightseeing tour. The Jewish community in Gdansk dates back to the 10th century. As a major seaport, Gdansk thrived economically and culturally, attracting Jewish merchants who significantly contributed to trade, industry, and crafts.

In the 19th century, the Jewish community built the largest synagogue in the city, symbolizing unity before it was destroyed in 1939. During the tour, walk through the Old Town to visit key Jewish historical sites, including the Great Synagogue location, the former Jewish Ghetto area on Granary Island, and the Kindertransports monument.

Learn about Gdansk's famous Jewish Theatre and the Kindertransports rescue efforts. The tour concludes at the New Synagogue in Wrzeszcz, the city's only remaining synagogue, built in 1926.
