Remuh Cemetery

Located in the Kazimierz district, this 16th-century Jewish cemetery is one of the oldest of its kind in Poland. It is named after Rabbi Moses Isserles, who was buried here. Visitors go to this site to view historic Jewish funerary art and to learn about the Jewish history and culture of Kraków.

Getting There

The cemetery is situated in the Kazimierz neighborhood. From the Kraków city centre (Main Market Square), you can reach the site via a short tram ride or a walk of approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your pace.

Duration of Visit

Allow roughly 45 to 90 minutes to walk through the grounds and read the historical markers. The site is relatively small, but the density of the monuments allows for a slow pace of reflection.

When to Visit

The site is open throughout the year. To avoid the largest crowds, visit during weekday mornings. As a place of religious and historical significance, quiet behavior is expected. Be aware that certain Jewish holidays may affect accessibility or visitor flow.
