City Tour Cracow, Jewish Quarter｜Poland

Before World War II, Krakow had over 64,000 Jews (a quarter of the city's population). The religious life of Krakow's Jews was also concentrated in Kazimierz. They prayed in six large Orthodox synagogues (Old, Remu, Wysoka, Isaac, Popper and Kup) and in the Progressive synagogue (Tempel). They were maintained by the Jewish community, but there were also many prayer houses belonging to various religious associations and private individuals.

Nowadays, Kazimierz is one of the most recognizable places in Krakow. This district, teeming with cultural and artistic life, attracts especially those who want to feel the spirit of Krakow's bohemia. The most crowded cafes and well-known art studios and galleries are concentrated around the following streets: Szeroka, Izaaka, Miodowa, Józefa, Podbrzezie and around Plac Nowy. However, it is difficult to make a complete list of pubs, cafes and restaurants that are worth visiting, because each of these places has a unique character and decor, and there are dozens of them in Krakow's Kazimierz.
