Częstochowa Tour Guides

If you intend visiting Częstochowa and need a tour guide, then Częstochowa’s Jan Długosz University can help you! The university has established a service which offers student-guides who are both English-speaking and well-versed in the history of Jewish Częstochowa.

In fact, these guides can help you while you travel throughout the region between Częstochowa and Kraków.

All guides have been trained by our own Dr.hab.Professor Jerzy Mizgalski, a professor at Jan Długosz University, and Wiesław Paszkowski of the Częstochowa Municipal Archives.

This service came about at the initiative of Dr.hab.Professor Mizgalski and Alon Goldman, Chairman of the Association of Częstochowa Jews in Israel. Alon Goldman will act as a consultant to the service, working with the Service Co-ordinator, Malgorzata Lacka-Malecka.

The service’s guides can provide tourists with an introduction to the city’s history and culture of the entire region between Częstochowa and Kraków, with particular emphasis on the history and contribution of the Jewish population to the development of Częstochowa.

Your sightseeing programme can be tailored according to your needs and to specific sights, streets or regions which you may especially wish to visit.

To avail yourself of this service,
please contact Guide Service Co-ordinator, Dr. Malgorzata Lacka-Malecka:
