Kazimierz walking loops — Kraków's layered quarter

Kazimierz carries weight — centuries of Jewish life, then devastation, then decades of emptiness, now a careful revival. Synagogues stand alongside bars and bookshops, and the streets feel like they're still deciding what they want to be. Plac Nowy's market serves zapiekanki from a circular hall that never seems to close, and the street art changes weekly. It's beautiful and complicated in equal measure, which is exactly why walking it slowly beats reading about it.
