1. Wander through the Jewish Cemetery
Cemetery
It is worth making the ten-minute walk north of the Old Town to the Old Jewish Cemetery. With thousands of gravestones in a huge area, this is one of the largest cemeteries in Poland. What’s more astonishing is that they remain fairly intact – they were not destroyed by the Nazis. It is not a common tourist sight, so parts of the paths within the cemetery are overgrown – tread carefully.
