Krakow's Kazimierz is a special place shaped by a centuries-old Christian-Jewish neighborhood. Jews appeared in Kazimierz in the mid-14th century, and until the beginning of the 19th century, they lived in the "Jewish town" - an autonomous enclave - the Jews governed themselves there; they had only a king over them.
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 famous art studios and galleries create an unforgettable atmosphere.
