The Old Jewish District is definitely worth a visit while in Krakow. Fantastic old buildings, many little bars with hidden gardens, great food and amazing atmosphere. I think it has more character than the Market Square.

We stayed in this district. There are masses of lovely bars and quirky shops all around. The local market is really interesting especially for antiques/bric-a-brac. The little cafes in the centre of the market serve the biggest sandwiches I've ever seen for practically peanuts! They're half a baguette but I forget what the Polish name is. Be warned, that if...

Except for the numerous cosy restaurants the place has nothing to offer. Old synagogues?Well, I've seen much more beautiful ones. Besides, tha whole quarter look very untidy and ruined.
When you have some time in Krakow you should visit also this place. Here you can see some synagogues and temples, remnant jewish shops and sights. There are lots of different bars and restaurants around. Worth to see.
Spend 3 hrs here - take any of the walking tours - I recommend the free walking tour. Very interesting, good insights into the history, and you will come to know much more about the Jewish history than anywhere else. Ends conveniently at the Schindler's factory, which can be a further 2 hrs of visit.

A timeless area little changed since the war but now a trendy area full of quirky cafes and bars. Visit during the day to see the architecture, synagogues and cemeteries, visit at night for the lively atmosphere.
We took the cart tour as there was a lote of snow around on the day we wanted to see things. It was an interesting view of the District.
I loved the narrow streets soaked in history, hard to believe only 300 Jews living here now, loved the jewish food which we tried in Once upon a time restaurant, worth going just for the ambiance.
I just returned from two weeks in Kazimierz,Poland and it was a dream trip for me and my husband.It put me in touch with my Jewish heritage in a way that I would not have dreamed of.We stayed at Hotel Ester,20 Szeroka and it was wonderful.
We loved the food everywhere and in particular at Hotel Rubinstein on the same...
