Kazimierz, called little Gdańsk, lays on the trade route from Małopolska to the Baltic Sea. The golden age of the city belonging to merchants began under the Jagiellonians and lasted until the mid-seventeenth century. At that time, a port and 60 granaries were built on the Vistula embankment. The heyday ended with the Swedish Deluge. From the end of the eighteenth century, the declining town attracted artists. In 1923, Tadeusz Pruszkowski, a professor at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw, organized the first open air here. Soon after, the number of artists per square meter in Kazimierz was higher than anywhere else. The river, greenery, ravines, clean air and stylish buildings make Kazimierz look like an open-air museum. People attracted by the charm of this place make it teeming with life. The tour includes, among others, the famous Market Square, the Castle, the Tower with an observation deck, the Three Crosses Mountain, the Vistula River Museum in the Celejowska House.
We recommend a boat trip on the Vistula.
