PODGÓRZE

Podgórze is a district of Kraków  which  is located on the right bank of Vistula river.

It was an independent town with its own coat-of-arms, town hall  and  market square from its founding in 1784 to 1915, when it was incorporated into Kraków.

It used to be an industrial town, inhabited by entrepreneurs and craftspeople who were proud of their tradition  and inventions.

During the second world war,  Nazis  set up Jewish ghetto in Podgórze, interfering with its fabric of society.

Podgorze of today is a patchwork of cafes & restaurants, museums & galleries  which offer great opportunites for both citzens and tourists.

It has both amazing architecture and picturesque scenery. There are many quiet places  where one can read a book, some routes to go for a bike, cozy restaurants to  eat delicious lunch. Podgórze is a place where past meets present times in a way you enjoy it!
