Alchemia, Krakow

To get a feel of the city of Krakow, one need not look any further than the Alchemia, a special bar in the heart of the city’s Jewish town. One of the first bars to be opened in Kazimierz, the Jewish side of the city, the Alchemia is the most treasured pubs in the city. Visited by students, artists, locals and visitors, the pub over the years has created its mark as a destination to best enjoy the night life of the city.

Not only is it visited as a window into the cultural aspects of the Krakovian society, the pub also hosts live concerts, art exhibitions and other social gatherings. With a good selection of moderately priced drinks and sandwiches and pastries on the menu, the Alchemia manages to imprint into its guest a memory of the night life in the city.

With its dark interiors, uneven floor, Gothic lab equipment, antique furniture and other such bizarre decorations, the ambience of the bar is one of a kind. With a huge Bohemian influence, one cannot help but get transported or rather feel like a hippie himself. You will either hate or totally fall in love with Alchemia, any which way, the pub is sure to remain with you your entire life.
