Kazimierz, Kraków’s historic Jewish quarter, is a captivating blend of culture, history, and bohemian spirit. Once a separate city, Kazimierz became a thriving center of Jewish life, reflected in its synagogues, museums, and memorials.
The Old Synagogue and the Galicia Jewish Museum offer deep insights into Jewish heritage and the somber history of the Holocaust. Today, Kazimierz is known for its eclectic vibe, with trendy bars, art galleries, and quirky boutiques lining its cobblestone streets. Don’t miss Plac Nowy, a bustling square famous for its food stalls, especially the popular zapiekanka (Polish-style baguette pizzas). Kazimierz’s lively atmosphere makes it an unmissable part of Kraków’s diverse tapestry.
