51. Stajna Restaurant & Bar

Perhaps not the most obvious coffee place, however, the Stajna is too much Krakow that we could NOT write about it! It is located in an alley in Kazimierz, and it is famous world-wide; several scenes from Schindler's List were shot at exactly this place.

The houses around are not restored in any way on the outside, but it gives a certain charm to the place. Outside the flats, you can see cloths hanging for drying, so genuine! Stajna is cosy both inside, in their "greenhouse terrace" and outside, where they have decorated the walls with pictures, flowers and details from the former Jewish inhabitants.

On the negative side, there are many guided tours walking through the alley, which could get a bit annoying after a while, however, if you don't want to feel like a exhibition object, there are some special tables "in use for that".

So if you are a Spielberg-fan, or just want to see houses that breath history, this is the place to go.
