Polish term or phrase: kultowy
Proponujemy przejazd na Kazimierz – klimatyczną i niemalże ***kultową*** dzielnicę Krakowa. Miejsce - esencję kultury żydowskiej. Zakosztujemy nie tylko tradycyjnej, żydowskiej kuchni, ale także posłuchamy klezmerskiej muzyki.

Myślałem o "iconic" ale może ktoś ma lepszą propozycję. Język nie musi być bardzo oficjalny, ale też nie ma to być slang młodzieżowy.
