Time Out singles out the Oscar Schindler’s Factory Museum as a must for visitors to the Zabłocie district.
It traces the history of Kraków under the German occupation in World War II, including the activities of Oskar Schindler, a German enterpreneur and a member of the Nazi party, who saved some 1,200 Jews by employing their in his factories, one of which was located in today’s Zabłocie.
Time Out editors also recommend a tour of the "strikingly brutalist Museum of Contemporary Art MOCAK", adding that with its abundance of residential buildings "Zabłocie is at once lived-in and lively: a well-blended cocktail of culture, history, dining and local life."
Comparing the place with what it looked like a decade ago, Time Out writes:
There’s been a rejuvenation of the riverside parks. Roastery coffee houses, pour-your-own craft beer spaces and ramen kitchens with robot waiters have all opened up shop.
Notre-Dame-du-Mont in the French city of Marseilles is in the top place in the ranking, followed by Mers Sultan in Casablanca, Morocco, and Pererenan, a seaside village on the western coast of the Indonesian island of Bali.
Kraków’s Zabłocie is in eleventh place, ahead of Little River in Miami and Saint-Henri in Montreal.
