rss The Lowdown on Krakow, Poland.

July 12th, 2005 | The lowdown by Bryan Fox

Jazz at Alchemia

Alchemia in the Plac Nowy in the Kasimierz is the biggest (read: most expensive) place to go for jazz, but they do get some good shows. Jazz, in fact, is everywhere. There are live bars all over town, many don't even charge, and it seems like there is a jazz festival every other month.

As for other concerts, the real problem is that the city has no big venues, so they can't get any big names. Foreign acts usually go to Warsaw, and sometimes even Katowice, an hour and a half away, usually skipping Krakow.
