You don't need to pay extorniate amounts to the guys on the golf carts touting for business. It's a ten minute walk from old town to this little square. Nothing much there, but these chairs (which nobody touches or dares to sit on!). We sat and had coffee at 'Coffee To Go' and googled the chairs. A tribute to the furniture all the jewish people had to leave behind when they left the ghetto. What a lovely tribute and worth a visit! There is also a museum for the oldest pharmacy on the square which seemed really popular!. Definitely worth a walk down there to see. Also, 2 minute walk from Schindlers factory, so you can see both on the same visit.

My friend and I walked here from the Old Town of Krakow. We incredibly moved and learned a lot about the events that took place here. Something we should never forget and never stop learning about. Deeply moving.

We fell upon this square by mistake. We never knew of it’s existence. There no mention anywhere of this in any brochure. The square has little chairs in memory of the children and large chairs in memory of the adults who lost their lives in the holocaust. It’s a brilliant piece of art and the best part is that it doesn’t cost a penny. It’s in the Jewish quarter near the ghetto so go have a look

Have done free walking tours in Rome and Bucharest and all been very good: this was no exception. Went with Walkative -yellow umbrella group through freewalkingtours.com. The start time and place was correct and punctual. Our guide (my apologies for not remembering his name) was an ex history student, around late thirties with a pony tail. He was excellent. The information he provided on the tour of the Jewish quarter and ghetto was very informative and interesting. You could tell he was passionate about his subject and his country. Through his knowledge of Krakow during occupied times and the knowledge of our Auschwitz guide we began to understand what the Jewish and Polish community had to endure during the Nazi occupation. We found out a lot about Schindler, who is more of a figurehead for what he did rather than a hero, and also about other Polish people who also helped Jews escape but were never recognised for what they did. We feel that maybe the Krakow local government should pay more homage to them in more openly visible ways. This is definitely a worthwhile tour and thank our guide for an extremely interesting 2 -3 hr tour.

This is an interesting place to visit to see the square. The layout of the sculptures is thought provoking. There is not a lot of information provided in a English at the site. Need to merge this visit with other activities in the same area to get value out of the location. For example also visit the ghetto wall.
