Planty
This is a park that runs around the city of Krakow like a belt, and is often referred to as “the lungs of the city.” It a beautiful and restful bit of greenery, and a very popular place for walking. The area now covered by this park was once the location of the city’s defensive walls and moats, which were filled in during the 19th century. Some parts of the wall remain, such as Floriańska Gate and the Barbakan.
Krakow
New Cemetary
This is a Jewish cemetary that was founded in 1800 and is the resting place of many distinguished Jews who died in the 19th and early 20th century. During the second world war, the cemetary filled up with the many Krakow Jews killed during the tragedy of the Holocaust. Many of the headstones represent entire families who died during the war. The cemetary is a peaceful place to visit and walk and ponder mortality. Many visitors place freshly-lit candles on the graves which make the cemetary particularly beautiful at dusk.
