The Regent's location in a historic district turns every visit to the hotel into an encounter with the city's rich and vivid history. The buildings adjacent to the hotel were largely designed by a Cracow-based artist and architect, and a renowned monument conservator, Karol Knaus. All you need to do is take a short walk to admire the true architectural gems.
Kazimierz district is a place where Jewish and Christian cultures intertwined. Evidence of this coexistence lasting several centuries is visible at every corner. Among the historic buildings, churches deserve special attention, especially Corpus Christi, St. Catherine's, and the Na Skłace Basilica of the Pauline Fathers, as well as synagogues. The oldest of the synagogues (on Szeroka Street) now houses the Judaic collections of the Historical Museum of the City of Cracow.
Kazimierz is becoming increasingly famous among tourists and artists mainly because of the district's unusual atmosphere and numerous cultural centers. Only a few steps from the hotel is the Theatre Without Rows. In your free time, you can also see a performance at the Krakow Chamber Opera, the Nowy Theater, the Freeday Theatre, the Eloe Theatre, or the Barakah Theatre. Kazimierz is also home to several interesting museums, including the Ethnographic Museum, the Galicia Museum, and the Museum of Urban Engineering. The whole is complemented by numerous festivals, including the most famous Jewish Culture Festival.
Those looking for entertainment will appreciate the proximity of Galeria Kazimierz and numerous clubs, restaurants, and pubs. Kazimierz's unquestionable advantage is also its location in the immediate vicinity of the Old Town. When on a walk, you can easily reach the Main Square or the Wawel Royal Castle.
