Nowa Huta, Kraków

1949 socialist-realist district built around the steelworks: wide boulevards, original milk bars and the kind of working-class canteens the tourist Old Town no longer has.

Nowa Huta is Kraków's 1949 socialist-realist district, built to serve the steelworks along deliberately wide boulevards. Its food value is historical and real: original milk bars and working-class canteens of a kind the tourist Old Town no longer has. Eat here to taste how the city fed itself for half a century.

The full Nowa Huta food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Kraków food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
