5. Kazimierz, in Kraków, is a special place developed over many centuries as a Christian-Jewish neighbourhood. Jews arrived here in the mid-14th century, and until the early 19th century they lived in a separate “Jewish city”, enclosed by today’s Miodowa, św. Wawrzyńca, Wąska, Józefa, and Bożego Ciała streets. It was an autonomous enclave governed by internal Jewish authorities: their only sovereign was the king in whose name the Voivode of Kraków exercised authority over the enclave. Today Kazimierz is one of the best known areas of Kraków. Teeming with cultural and artistic life, the district especially attracts those who want to feel the spirit of Kraków’s bohemians. The most popular cafés as well as established artistic studios and galleries cluster around Szeroka, Izaaka, Miodowa, Józefa and Podbrzezie streets, and around Nowy (Żydowski) square. Walk will take you later to a Jewish Ghetto area, an monument of Ghetto Heros, Bernatek Footbridge (Love Bridge) and many more...

About Warsaw

Warsaw is Poland's capital on the Vistula River, a city carefully rebuilt after the Second World War, with a restored old town, palaces and modern towers.

Warsaw was almost entirely destroyed in the Second World War, and its Old Town was rebuilt brick by brick from paintings and plans, work that earned it a UNESCO listing. Castle Square, with the Royal Castle and Sigismund's Column, leads into the market square, where a mermaid, the city's symbol, stands guard. The Palace of Culture and Science, a Soviet-era skyscraper of 1955, still dominates the skyline.
