Pasaż Bielaka

Kraków


A few metres off the Main Market Square, the old Kino Pasaż passageway has been transformed into this hideaway for students to lounge on beanbag chairs and chill out over coffee and beer. In warm weather everyone huddles around white wooden tables made from old construction pallets. Weekend evenings get packed and the crowd spills out onto ul Stolarska.
