While today it's mostly known for its more laid-back and arty bars and clubs, once Kazimierz was a bastion of Jewish culture. For about 700 years, until the Second World War devastated the population, the Jewish community flourished in Krakow, and its cultural and spiritual home was Kazimierz. A tour of Jewish Kazimierz will bring some of old Jewish Krakow back to life, through a visit to several synagogues and other historic places.
