Why Kazimierz Dolny Market Square matters
Kazimierz Dolny has been an artists' retreat for more than a century, and it feels like it. The market square is framed by Renaissance houses with ornate gables, there are galleries and bakeries selling rooster-shaped pastries, and a short climb takes you to the castle ruins for a view over the river. It is a popular weekend escape for people from Warsaw.
