Kazimierz is the by far most trendy borough in Krakow with dozens of charming cafes and fashionable pubs, including the legendary Alchemia, Singer, Mleczarnia and Eszeweria. There are also beautiful Gothic churches and - needles to say - you will soon come across the famous Jewish synagogues. Both churches and synagoges are a must-see.
