Overview
This private Warsaw Jewish Ghetto tour explores one of the most tragic chapters of World War II history. Before the war, Warsaw was one of the world’s largest Jewish cities. During the German Nazi occupation, the Jewish community was almost entirely destroyed and the ghetto erased.
Traveling by vintage Żuk retro minibus allows you to visit multiple historically important locations that are difficult to reach on foot. With a knowledgeable local guide, you will learn about daily life under German Nazi rule, mass deportations, and the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
The tour includes key sites such as Grzybowski Square and Próżna Street, preserved fragments of the Ghetto Wall, Waliców Street, Mila 18, the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, the POLIN Museum area, and the Umschlagplatz.
As a private tour, the itinerary is flexible and can be adjusted to your interests. This experience is ideal for travelers interested in World War II, the Holocaust, and Warsaw’s history.

After hotel pickup, your guide introduces the historical background of Jewish Warsaw and the creation of the Jewish Ghetto during World War II, setting the context for the sites you are about to visit. The tour begins at the monument dedicated to Janusz Korczak, a Polish-Jewish educator, author, and director of a Warsaw orphanage. Despite opportunities to escape, he chose to remain with the children in his care and was deported with them to the Treblinka extermination camp.
-
Grzybowski SquareNext, visit Grzybowski Square, once part of Jewish Warsaw and today a place that reflects the city’s dramatic 20th-century history. The area witnessed two world wars, two totalitarian systems, and the transformation of modern Europe. Nearby streets still preserve traces 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 stands 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 WallVisit a preserved fragment of the Warsaw Ghetto Wall, marking the former boundary of the ghetto. Some sections remain hidden between buildings, and your guide takes you to one of the accessible locations to explain how the area was sealed off from the rest of the city.
-
At Waliców Street, see 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, offering a powerful visual reminder of destruction and loss.
-
Chlodna StreetAt Chłodna Street, learn about the wooden bridge built 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.
-
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 your guide’s explanations.
-
Pomnik Bohaterow GettaVisit 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 PolskichStop outside the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, built on the former ghetto grounds. The museum’s name refers to a legend connected with Jewish settlement in Poland. Entrance is optional and not included in the tour price.
-
Memorial at Mila 18At 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.
-
UmschlagplatzThe 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.
