A Great Dinner with Live Music at the Jewish Quarter, Krakow, Poland

 Our Visit to Krakow, Poland - Day 2

During our visit to the Salt Mine, we lost S. in the middle of the tour and it took us a little while to regain contact with him via We Chat.

Since he could not find us, S. called a taxi and went back to the hotel to wait for us.  We met up at the Atrium Hotel and moved our luggage to a service apartment a little further away from the town square.

We called a taxi and went to have dinner at Krakow's famous Jewish Quarter.

Kazimierz ( also known as the Jewish Quarter) is located south of the Krakow Old Town. 

It was the centre of Jewish life in Kraków for over 500 years.

Later it was systematically destroyed during World War II. 

The Polish Jewish inhabitants in the area were forcibly relocated in 1941 by the German Nazi into the Krakow ghetto.

Many of them later died in death camps.

During the communist years the Jewish Quarter fell into disrepair.

The Jewish Quarter was rediscovered. 

It has become one of Kraków’s most exciting places!
