What to expect
Warsaw Ghetto
The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest Jewish ghetto established by Nazi Germany during World War II. Founded in 1940, it imprisoned over 400,000 Jews under overcrowded and inhumane conditions behind walls and barbed wire. It became a place of immense suffering, hunger and deportations to extermination camps, but also of courage and resistance, culminating in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943.
40 m
Fragment Of Ghetto Wall
The remains of the original Warsaw Ghetto wall are among the most powerful symbols of World War II in Warsaw. Built by Nazi Germany in 1940, the wall imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Jews under overcrowded and brutal conditions. Today, preserved sections serve as a poignant reminder of the suffering, separation and resilience of the Jewish community.
20 m
Chlodna Street
The monument on Chłodna Street marks the site of the wooden footbridge that once connected the two parts of the Warsaw Ghetto above the street below. The bridge was used by Jews who were forced into the ghetto during World War II and became one of the best-known symbols of division, isolation, and daily life under Nazi occupation in wartime Warsaw.
15 m
Umschlagplatz
The Umschlagplatz Monument marks the site from which Jews were deported from the Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka during World War II.

15 m
POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
A visit to the exterior of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews highlights the museum's striking architecture and historical setting in the heart of the former Warsaw Ghetto. Visitors can see the distinctive modern glass façade, the symbolic public square, and nearby memorials connected to Jewish history. Next to the museum stands the Ghetto Heroes Monument, commemorating the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, along with memorial plaques and monuments honoring the courage and suffering of Warsaw's Jewish community during World War II.
We recommend doing this at the end of the tour so that you can continue with a 3-hour self-guided visit to the museum's main exhibition, exploring 1,000 years of Polish Jewish history with the help of an audio guide.
