Things to Know Before You Go
Remember that the Remuh Synagogue is an active place of worship, so dress modestly and respectfully. Photography inside the synagogue is allowed but should be discreet. If you visit during religious services or Jewish holidays, you may experience the synagogue at its most vibrant. The cemetery, while open to visitors, should be approached with reverence.
How to Get There
Located in Kazimierz, the historic Jewish quarter of Krakow, the Remuh Synagogue is easily reachable from the city center. It’s about a 20-minute walk from the Main Market Square (Rynek Główny), or you can take trams or buses to the nearby Wolnica Square and walk a short distance. Taxis and rideshares can also drop you at the synagogue entrance.
When to Get There
While the synagogue is open year-round, it is best to visit outside of Jewish holidays when it is more likely to be crowded with locals and worshippers. Early mornings or late afternoons provide a quieter atmosphere for reflection. The cemetery is accessible throughout the day, but visiting in the spring or summer offers pleasant weather for walking around the grounds.
Day Trips from Krakow
A visit to the Remuh Synagogue can be combined with a tour of Kazimierz, which is filled with other Jewish landmarks, such as the Old Synagogue, the Jewish Cemetery, and the Galicia Jewish Museum. Explore the vibrant history of the district, its cafes, galleries, and shops. A visit to the Schindler’s Factory Museum is another fascinating nearby attraction, offering a deeper understanding of Krakow’s Jewish history during World War II.
