Nadodrze is a neighborhood north of the city center and the Cathedral Island. Until not so many years ago, it was an industrial area with poor citizens. Some of the houses have never been reconstructed after WWII. However, the district is flourishing in the last few years. Lots of art workshops, art schools, restaurants, pubs open in the district, and young people coming to live here. The neighborhood houses fantastic street art - some of the murals were made by an international street artist.
If you want to see a hidden gem, go to the painted house - a community project involving artists and residents to improve the house's appearance.
