I don't know how to rate it. This is an emotional place for me. Generations of generations of my forefathers are placed here in the cemetery. From the other side, it's almost always closed. Even at the remembering days, and they know that people from around the globe are coming especially, and they don't let people to pray on their forefathers' grave in. It's very sad.
We did not go in because of the extremely rude woman on the ticket desk. She started shouting at us in Polish and refused to speak to us in English. A very unpleasant woman, completely spoiling the beauty of the synagogue.
A small synagogue in the old Jewish quarter with a cemetery nearby.
The cemetery has been reconstructed somewhat and has many prominent members of the community buried here. The synagogue is an interesting building, although small.

Great little synagogue to visit however the visitors should be organised somehow.
The three of us entered and got swarmed by three different groups of 30+ people with guides shouting in three different languages.
Spent 10mins waiting to even get in because there was no space.

Learn a lot about Jews from birth to death inside. A very simple and highly religious place for Jews
A beautiful shul where you can see where the remoh himself prayed! The adjacent cemetery has many great sages from the last 500 years buried there.
Hard to review a shul of this importance. I davened here on erev shabbes (minyan) and the next morning (just 4 people). This was mid-December. The snow fall turned this into an even more magical place than it already is. It's small and somewhat somber. But just think how many Gaoniem (Very Learned Rabbis) it produced over the last centuries. The cemetery is magical, even though it's restored with kindness. This is a once in a lifetime destination. Make sure you find a quiet moment to reflect.
Beautiful ancient synagogue and graveyard with grave of several famous sages. Worth a visit as it's probably one of the few places preserved after the war and the graves undisturbed, though I don't know to what extent the synagogue had to be restored or was simply somehow spared the disastrous consequences of the holocaust. It is probably not so easy to access in a wheelchair on your own but with help you would probably manage the synagogue. The graveyard paths are probably too uneven and narrow for a wheelchair but you should at least be able to have a peek. I suspect that much of the centre of Kazimiriez is challenging in a wheelchair, given the cobblestone paving.
