Plac Nowy (New Square)
This historic square once served as a Jewish market, with its central rotunda functioning as a kosher slaughterhouse. Today it remains a lively hub where butcher shops share space with zapiekanki vendors serving the city's beloved street food.

Izaak Synagogue
Built in 1644 and named for its donor Izaak Jakubowicz, banker to King Ladislaus IV of Poland, this Orthodox synagogue stands as one of the most significant religious sites in the Kazimierz district. Solve the challenge here to learn the story of Isaac the Rich.

Old Synagogue
Dating to the cusp of the 15th and 16th centuries, the Old Synagogue is the oldest surviving example of Jewish religious architecture in Poland. Now a museum, it houses exhibits tracing the history and traditions of Polish Judaism.

Remah Cemetery
Established between 1535 and 1551, this historic necropolis is one of the oldest existing Jewish cemeteries in Poland. The site holds layered significance for both the local community and visitors tracing Jewish heritage in Krakow.

Father Bernatek's Bridge
This modern pedestrian bridge crosses the Vistula River and is decorated with suspended acrobat sculptures by artist Jerzy Kędziora. It marks the boundary between Kazimierz and the Podgorze district.

Bosak Building Mural
Created during the 24th Jewish Cultural Festival in July 2014, this mural adorns a building named after a Jewish family who lived there for 400 years until World War II. The artwork stands as a tribute to the cultural memory of Kazimierz.
