- Bertie1224Northamptonshire, UK1,440 contributionsJust the other side of the railway through an underpass you find the cemetery. Paths lead you through a setting that looks unreal as headstones disappear under ivy creating a scene that once you ponder why is thought provoking. There are particular graves you are directed to and the dates vary significantly as you wonder around. Grave markers are placed in the wall from the 1950s renovation after the destruction during WW2. There are moments of total silence punctuated by birdsong that make this a place to stand and stare and contemplate it all. Few graves are tended which makes it even more poignant.Written April 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ANGELO VMilan, Italy4,742 contributionsThe Remuh Cemetery is next to the Remuh Synagogue, and it is of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Poland. The cemetery has undergone a series of post-war restorations, and the tombstones that were used as paving stones during the Nazi occupation of Poland have been returned and re-erected.
There is no real entrance ticket, but a sort of mandatory donation for the restoration, which includes both the visit to the synagogue and to the cemetery.Written July 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not something you usually say about cemeteries.Written November 11, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert ORotterdam, The Netherlands5,829 contributionsMuch smaller than Rakowicki cemetery in the north of the city, Salwatorski is also more intimate and accessible. It is on a hill side towards Kosciuszki mound and from it there is a nice view over the Wisla river and the city. The graves and the grounds are well kept and there is a small chapel built in 1888. The cemetery was consecrated in 1865 and served as a burial ground for the local parish. Later many intellectuals and artists found their last resting place here among them Andrzej Wajda, the famous Polish film director who died in 2016.Written January 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
