Halicka Street: a Kazimierz connection beside the railway

A reason to pause here

Halicka gives our Kazimierz photographs a view of the railway as well as the street. We would use it as a connecting walk, paying attention to crossings and the space shared with traffic around the viaduct.

At the edge of the older quarter

Kazimierz began as a separate town in the fourteenth century and became part of Kraków in 1800. Halicka’s railway-side setting shows a later layer of the district rather than only its older religious buildings. The present transport routes are part of an ordinary working neighbourhood.

Use the street as a connection

We would follow Halicka when linking the district’s eastern streets, noticing the railway as well as the frontages. Our photographs make the infrastructure part of the walk. A museum or Szeroka stop nearby can give the route an endpoint without pretending the street itself is a long attraction.

Plan the visit

Use designated crossings around the railway approaches and keep off rail infrastructure. Check current city transport information for diversions. Shared traffic space can be narrow; stop for photographs where the pavement leaves room.

• Look at the route before crossing junctions.
• Connect the walk with the Galicia Jewish Museum or Szeroka.
