The Jewish Quarter is the centre of Jewish life in Kraków. It attracts visitors with its one-of-a-kind atmosphere, special-looking streets, and buildings that are quite unique. No other place in Europe depicts a sense of pre-war Jewish culture on the continent better than the Jewish Quarter. Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who hated cruelties, bought an enamel factory in Krakow following the German invasion of Poland during World War and saved over 1,200 Jews by hiring them in his factory. It has rebounded and is today Krakow's most exciting district – bustling, packed with historical sites - synagogues, atmospheric cafes, and art galleries. Wander around the beautiful little streets of Krakow you may notice that this place looks a little bit different from the rest of the city. You will notice the heart of Kraków’s artistic, Bohemian character behind the wooden shutters of dozens of antique shops and art galleries. Apart from great food and beverages this place charms with a great collection of posters which you can stare at the whole night.
