This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Krakow, The Jewish Quarter

You’ve arrived at New Square, easily recognisable by the octagonal covered market standing at its centre. This market hall was built in 1900 to revitalise the square. It originally housed several stalls and a poultry slaughterhouse. In 1927, the Jewish community expanded the slaughterhouse and redesigned the square. Today, the place is buzzing with tourists — not only for its atmosphere, but also for its iconic grilled baguettes, a legendary part of Kraków’s street food scene!
