Recommendations for Krakow and Myślenice [80]
I would like to tell you about the Jewish quarters (Kazimierz).
Situated south east of Krakow main square about 20 minutes by foot.
People of the Jewish faith fleeing persecution in many countries were asked by the king of Poland to move here permanently.
They lived and prospered here for 500 years.
Until Hitler had other plans for them :(
[inyourpocket.com/poland/krakow/sightseeing/category/4623-jewishkrakow.html] (Krakow in your pocket), about Jewish quarters.
There are two squares in the Jewish quarters. A short walk away from each other, with synagogues and museums all over this area.
The first square is
Plac Nowy.
It is hopping with people, the funky part of town with enough pubs to suit everybody's tastes.
This place is cool and worth a look and a few nights out.
Every Taxi driver will know this place.
There are often festivals here.
The second square/cobbled wide street is in
Szeroka street.
There are several Jewish restaurants here to choose from.
I recommend Ariel (Jewish restaurant they often have live Jewish music, simply great!
(The police station is on this street)
So basically a great night out is to have some great food in Szeroka street,
with an amazing atmosphere and live music and from there just a short walk to Plac Nowy.
This is a guaranteed great night out !
Accommodation in Krakow varies in price depending on season, location and availability.
I have not stayed in any of these places, these are
not recommendations, just websites I have compiled for you to see for yourself.
If you have stayed in Krakow and you recommend the place, please tell us the know the price per night and a it's name.
Here are some web Krakow hotels:
Sodispar Apartments, Hotels Krakow, Hostel Yellow, Sheraton Hotel, Radisson SAS.
Again, if anyone has anything to add or questions, just post them on here.
One thing I would like on here is more photos of the Krakow. A picture tells a thousand words, so it will save me on typing :) I will take my time and try to do the same thing I did here with the next two parts.
