Kraków’s Kazimierz is a special place, shaped by centuries of Christian-Jewish coexistence. Jews arrived in Kazimierz in the mid-14th century, and until the early 19th century, they lived in what was known as the “Jewish city.” Today, Kazimierz is one of the most recognizable places in Krakow. This vibrant cultural and artistic district particularly attracts those who wish to experience the spirit of Krakow’s bohemia.
