Frequently asked questions
Where does the Kazimierz walk start and finish?
It starts at the Plac Nowy Okrąglak Rotunda in the heart of Kazimierz and finishes back at the same spot, so it is a loop. Once you begin, the app guides you from stop to stop, so you do not need to plan the route through the Jewish quarter yourself.
Is this a treasure hunt or a walking tour of Kraków?
It is both. At each stop the app tells you the story of the place, then sets a puzzle based on what is in front of you. You search for clues around Kazimierz to reveal the secrets of a mystical hero while visiting sites such as the Old Synagogue and Plac Wolnica.
Can I use this as a self-guided walking tour app in Kraków?
Yes. It runs on your phone with no guide and no group to join. You start whenever you like, follow the app through Kazimierz at your own speed, and can pause and continue later if you stop for a coffee or want to spend longer at a site.
How long does it take and how far will we walk?
The route covers 4.7 km and takes around 80 minutes, though stops and breaks can stretch that. It is best done during the day, and you pass places such as Remuh Cemetery, Father Bernatek's Bridge and the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel along the way.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest. There is no fixed time slot to book: you can start any time that suits you and pause whenever you need to, picking up where you left off.
Is Jewish District Krakow: Magic of Past & Present self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. You can start when it suits you and pause if needed.

Kazimierz context
Jewish life before, during and after catastrophe
Kazimierz became a major center of Jewish religious and cultural life, with synagogues, schools and businesses existing beside Christian institutions. Nazi occupation destroyed the community through forced removal, ghettoization and murder. Today’s revival includes both living Jewish institutions and tourism. This quest connects past and present without turning Holocaust memory into “magic” or mystery. Playable languages: English, German.
