Old Town

Krakow's residential areas run from the medieval core outward along the Vistula. The Old Town and Kazimierz put heritage and nightlife on the doorstep, while Podgorze and Zablocie sit across the river with a post-industrial character. Krowodrza, Grzegorzki, Salwator and Debniki are quieter and more residential, differing mainly in how much green space and how much practical infrastructure they offer.
