(Translated by Google) A center of attraction for all residents of the region and visiting guests from all over the country and from all over the world. Wonderful unique lake. Magnificent mountain slopes all around. Lots of interesting places to visit. A special place is occupied by excursions into the underground labyrinths of wine production, tasting of wines and natural cheeses. Hiking tours in the surrounding area are organized. There are organized excursions with stops at specially equipped observation platforms. The embankment and the park are very useful for walking and relaxing. There is a good Soviet-style canteen and many small cafes. You can ride on boats and motorboats on the lake. There is a scheduled municipal bus and minibuses. I recommend it to everyone, regardless of age and income, and more than once. It is very convenient to bring guests for a day or part of a day. (Original) Центр притяжения для всех жителей края и приезжих гостей со всей страны и со всего мира. Замечательное уникальное озеро. Великолепные горные склоны вокруг. Множество интересных для посещения мест. особое место занимают экскурсии в подземные лабиринты производства вин, дегустации вин и натуральных сыров. Организованы пешие походы по окрестностям. Есть организованные экскурсии с остановками на специально оборудованных обзорных площадках. Набережная и парк очень полезны для прогулки и отдыха. Есть хорошая столовая в советском стиле, много небольших кафе. По озеру можно прокатиться на лодках и катерах. Ходит рейсовый муниципальный автобус по расписанию и маршрутки. Рекомендую побывать всем независимо от возраста и достатка, и не раз. Очень удобно привозить гостей на день или часть дня.

(Translated by Google) Excellent tourist complex. Detailed one and a half hour tour of the museum and operating production with tasting. The light interactive gallery will be remembered by adults, children and sophisticated guests from big cities. Well-groomed area with sculptures, a playground, a lake and ducks. Excellent night illumination. The restaurant, street food, coffee shop and canteen are open even in low season. You can budget 6-8 hours for a visit with children. But it’s better to do the tasting right away so you can leave peacefully in the evening. (Original) Отличный туристический комплекс. Подробная полуторачасовая экскурсия по музею и действующему производству с дегустацией. Световая интерактивная галерея запомнится взрослым, детям и искушённым гостям из мегаполисов. Ухоженная территория со скульптурами, детской площадкой, озером и уточками. Превосходная ночная иллюминация. Ресторан, стритфуд, кофейня и столовая работают даже в низкий сезон. На посещение с детьми можно закладывать 6-8 часов. Только дегустацию лучше проводить сразу, чтобы вечером спокойно уехать.

An interesting tour of the factory and tasting - they tell you about the history and technology and how and what kind of champagne is made, and then they let you try it. (Original) Сделали из производства центр развлечений - молодцы! Прекрасная природа и хорошая организация - есть где поесть, попить, отдохнуть, достаточно туалетов.

We didn't go inside, because we were very short in time. We just walked around. You can see the yard for free. You have to pay only if you go inside the building. There is a house of Ayvazovskiy across the road. That was unfortunately closed that day. I did like the area around the gallery. It seemed very cozy.

Historic Sites
The Genoese fortress in Sudak is a sprawling medieval complex that covers 30 hectares on a mountain overlooking the sea. The beaches of Sudak stretch from Fortress Mountain to Cape Alchak for 2.5 km, offering gentle descents into shallow waters, making it ideal for families with children. The fortress, built by the Genoese between 1371 and 1469, is the main attraction in Sudak and one of the most fascinating historical sites in eastern Crimea.
Genoese fortress in a good condition. Here you can explore the walls and towers or get to the hill top for a great sea and townscape views. Highly recommended to visit. But beware the thiefs and local thugs who insist to make a photo with their animals, the animals look really exhausted.. And there is no policemen or security at all nearby!

Park Leviv "Tayhan" is a captivating safari park and breeding ground dedicated to African lions and tigers, offering visitors an immersive experience with animal encounters, delightful cafes, and comfortable hotel accommodations. While sunny days may not be ideal for observing the big cats as they prefer to lounge in the shade, overcast weather provides a fantastic opportunity to see these majestic creatures in action. The park boasts quality decorations that enhance its ambiance, complemented by soothing music and informative guide brochures.
Love the design . Bit overwhelming with luxury of surrounding features. Very clean and awesome layout. Mind those animals. Mainly not being a fan of the captivated species. Don’t mind a sanctuary of the retired/neglected animals that are nursed back to life . Very tasty food . Generous portions and good value for money . Ground staff friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend visiting in the low tourist season. Peace and tranquility. No probs to support the establishment that rely on the steady income . Very clean and well presented .

If you find seeing/part taking in animal abuse entertaining, then this place will most certainly be to your liking. If you actually love and care for animals, stay away.
Dana W — Google review
It's really disgusting to see the animals walking on rock-hard concrete in cages that are far too small. No water for them to bathe in, for example. And in the few cages that have water, it's so dirty and disgusting. Talk about torturing the animals, but you wouldn't expect anything else from a Russian "zoo" either. And why are the bushes and trees fenced in? It looks insane! And letting people take photos with lion and tiger cubs is such a disgusting thing to do. Do you also drug the cubs? Rebuild your park or donate the animals to real parks where animals can be animals and don't have to suffer in cages made of steel & concrete! Camels are so malnourished that you can see their ribs and humps are lying down. ANIMAL ABUSE!☠️🤬

Disappointing experience dealing with the "administration" of the park: they ignore emails for weeks! They refused to admit a journalist as if they are hiding something. At first, I was looking forward to visit the park and write a review , but after reading all these negative reviews and dealing with the unfriendly administration of the park (Tatyana), I am not so sure. I visited safari in Africa and numerous zoos and parks all over the world, but never delt with such unfriendly and unaccommodating "administration."

A wonderful choice for tourists. But it's not worth going here on a sunny and hot day. Lions in such weather rest in the shade and are not active. On a cloudy day, you can see many lions in their natural habitat. Quality decorations, pleasant music, guide brochures, cafes, and souvenir shops will not let you get bored. For an additional fee, you can literally touch the wild nature. Trade hands with these fierce predators. There are bins on the premises, so there's no need to litter.

The decorations and art works changes with on going celebrations. In summer its fully covered with flowers. There are a lot of rides and areas of games. There are many neat and clean toilets. You can get snacks,icecreams etc from the shops there.The Gaintwheel gives you a wideview from the top of the city. There is a cable car which takes you to Sarzhyn Yar. A Dinosaur park was also opened last year. You can spent free time enjoying the beauty of the park and have fun. One of the centre of attractions in kharkiv.

My favorite place is Central Park of Culture and Rest named after Maxim Gorky. Main park of Kharkov. One of the largest outdoor entertainment centers in Europe. On its territory there are a lot of entertainment for adults and children: attractions, fountains, a lake and sculptures. In the center is the Medieval Square with the highest ferris wheel in Ukraine 55 meters. Nearby is a stage for various events. There are cafes and restaurants. This park is loved by my family and all residents and guests of our city.

Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, also known as the Lavra, is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed Orthodox Christian monastery complex in Kyiv. It features ornate religious buildings such as the Dormition Church, refectory, and bell tower. One of its main attractions is the network of underground catacombs where mummified remains of former monks are laid to rest.
As one of the seven wonders of Ukraine, this monastery is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Saint Sophia Cathedral. Situated in Kiev, it is a monastic complex famed for its buried monks, spiritual atmosphere, and unique underground caves. Make sure you go up the stairs to enjoy a nice view over the city and panoramic view on the church from the towers.

A lot can be said about this place, but it is better to come and see everything yourself. It is difficult for me to imagine where else in the world there are so many historical buildings, caves, museums, icons in one territory. And indeed the place that is full of history. Just go to the free part, if you like it, you can come on Sunday and get into the "museum" part for free too.

Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, also known as the Kyiv Monastery of the Caves, is one of Ukraine's most revered religious and cultural landmarks. Perched on the picturesque hills overlooking the Dnipro River in the Pechersk district of Kyiv, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a stunning example of Eastern Orthodox monastic architecture and a place of profound spiritual significance. Founded in 1051 by St. Anthony of Kyiv, the Lavra began as a humble cave monastery and grew into a vast complex of churches, bell towers, and subterranean catacombs. The history of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is deeply intertwined with the spread of Christianity in the region, serving as a spiritual center for Eastern Orthodoxy and a cradle of monasticism in Kievan Rus. Over the centuries, it has been a focal point of religious life, attracting pilgrims from across the Orthodox world. The architectural beauty of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is breathtaking. The complex is dominated by the Great Lavra Belltower, which soars to a height of 96.5 meters, making it one of the tallest bell towers in the world. The golden domes of the Dormition Cathedral, which was rebuilt after being destroyed during World War II, gleam in the sunlight, creating a striking contrast against the blue skies of Kyiv. The interior of the churches is adorned with exquisite frescoes, mosaics, and icons, reflecting the rich artistic tradition of the Orthodox Church. Beneath the Lavra's surface lies a network of catacombs, where the mummified remains of saints, monks, and notable figures from Ukrainian history are interred. These underground passages are a place of pilgrimage, with visitors coming to venerate the relics and experience the serene, otherworldly atmosphere of the caves. Culturally, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is a symbol of Ukraine's religious heritage and national identity. It has played a crucial role in the preservation and dissemination of Orthodox Christian traditions, theological scholarship, and religious art. The Lavra continues to be an active monastery, home to a community of monks who maintain the centuries-old spiritual practices that have been passed down through generations. In addition to its religious significance, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is a cultural treasure, hosting museums that display priceless artifacts, manuscripts, and religious objects. The site is not only a place of worship but also a center of learning, art, and history, embodying the spiritual and cultural legacy of Ukraine.

It’s not really “free” to enter but 100 UAH to pay. But of course it’s worth paying the amount as you’ll get to see amazing monastery with so many beautiful ornaments around. Do not miss the viewpoint as you’ll be able to see nice view under the river and to the war museum down south.

One of these places can really be considered a historical heritage of Kyiv. Low-rise buildings that intersect with modern life. Maybe it would have been better to save - sure, but it doesn't make sense to sthink how it could be, we have to save what we have for now! Glory to Ukraine.

A very beautiful fountain with a fantastic evening light show that features fairy-tale story segments. Frankly, the graphics and storytelling of the fairy-tale aren't very impressive — however, the light show itself is mesmerisingly beautiful and definitely deserves your time of day. It's a good spot to visit with kids and family members. However, note that the show tends to attract a large crowd — so it'd be a good idea to bring your masks or try to find a spot where you can watch it from a distance. Overall we've had a great experience watching the show, and recommend to come see it at least once :)

Historical landmark
Lychakiv Cemetery, a sprawling burial ground dating back to the 1700s, is a significant site in Lviv. The cemetery is home to the resting places of notable Ukrainians and has become a legacy and museum over time. Its winding paths lead visitors through beautiful tombs that are often compared to those at Pere-Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
One of the most interesting cemeteries I've ever visited. Tons and tons of huge headstones, all different designs, and even quite a few family tombs. It's a very big cemetery, I was walking at a decent speed and still took me 40 minutes to do one loop. There is an entrance fee but it's very cheap: 80 Hryvnia.

Paweł K — Google review
Since the 1500s, Lviv’s most prominent figures have been laid to rest at this 40-hectare cemetery that has now been recognised as a national reserve. Lychakiv Cemetery is the equivalent to Père Lachaise or Highgate and is treasured not just for its prestigious burials but the quality of the art that commemorates them. Laid to rest here are Polish and Ukrainian members of the clergy, politicians, military leaders, scientists, architects (like Zygmunt Gorgolewski), soloists, aviators, surgeons and painters. For Poles the cemetery is poignant as the burial place of the Lwów Eaglets, young militia members who were killed during the Polish-Ukrainian War in 1918-1919.

You have old homes churches. Dedicated icon collection in a separate building. There is also oil mining/extraction equipment that predates mining of oil in the U.S.. There is recreated 200 year old town square, complete with post office, pharmacy, doctors office, bakery etc and more. Lots of Jewish history and artifacts.

History of Market Square in Rzeszów dates back to the 15th century but the current look of the market is much different from its original form.

We visited here from New Zealand and came to this tower with a cousin. The steps up were pretty exciting and I felt like Indiana Jones 😆. Some people though might find it a bit claustrophobic because everything is very narrow. It was cool seeing the big bell roughly around the middle tower and then climbing to the top and getting a 360 degree view of Košice city centre. My favourite part was being able to ring the ball at the top and even though it wasn’t insanely big it still made so much noise. My family in the park close by could hear it when we rang it. There was a wire mesh that was there for our safety but also made it a bit annoying to look and take photos. At the end climbing down we had to call a phone number because the door was always locked and a person came and unlocked it, but they told us that it would probably happen so it’s not like they forgot about us or something don’t worry. Anyways, loved the great views and the climb was fun. Ringing the bell was the best part.

I visited St. Elisabeth's Cathedral with my wife, who is Slovakian, and our son. Whilst admiring how impressive this building is I often forget, or don't appreciate, that this cathedral was built in 1378 to honour St. Elisabeth of Hungary. Many of the people in this region are deeply affect by Košice becoming part of Czechoslovakia in 1918 and then Slovak Republic in 1993.

St. Elisabeth Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece of Gothic architecture and the crown jewel of Košice. What makes the experience truly magical is the way sunlight filters through the stained-glass windows, casting vibrant colors across the stone walls and floor. The interplay of light and shadow creates a peaceful, almost sacred atmosphere that invites reflection. It's a must-see for anyone visiting the city!

Spiš Castle is a massive, UNESCO-listed fortress located on a travertine hill above the village of Spisske Podhradie.

The site covers four hectares and includes a 22-meter-high tower offering panoramic views, as well as a museum showcasing medieval history within the former palace.

Amazing location and breathtaking views from up there. Small coffee shop and a gift shop there too. The walk up to it isn’t so bad. Get there early as the park down before taking the hike to the castle gets filled fast and you’ll end up parked further down the road and that will be a little more challenging to hike up to it.

It dominates the landscape from its hilltop perch above the village of Spišské Podhradie, easily accessible from Poprad by bus in one hour, followed by another hour's walk to the castle. Although in ruins, it's well worth a visit, and the views along the way are spectacular.

Even though some parts have been under construction from 2017 through 2027, it remains one of my favorite castle or fortress sites in Central Europe. The large courtyards gives it a feeling of space and breathing room, which is not too common in castles usually. They also give room for some events like medivial festivals or concerts which is cool. Also the location being situated on a large hill, gives it one of the best views from any castle or fortress I've visited.

Amazing castle with stunning views across Slovakia. A must if you're visiting. Tickets can be purchased on site. Castle is a ~10m uphill walk from the car park.

(Translated by Google) What a place...the views, the amazing hiking and biking trails. You'll find the call of nature here. It's a place with few tourists. There's something for everyone. It's worth visiting just to commune with nature. There's a large, free parking lot near the gondola lift. However, if you're stubborn and want to park right at the door, you'll have to pay for that pleasure. The price for entering the viewing platform (the views are the same without actually climbing it 🤣) and the ascent and descent is a bit too high for me - 69 złoty per person. I recommend it to anyone who loves mountains of varying heights 😉 (Original) Co za miejsce...widoki, szalone wyprawy piesze i rowerowe. Tu znajdziesz zew natury. Jest to miejsce z małą ilością turystów. Dla każdego coś dobrego. Warto znaleźć się w tym miejscu po to chociaż by poobcować z naturą. Przy kolejce gondolowej bardzo duży darmowy parking. Jeżeli ktoś się jednak uprze i będzie chciał pod same drzwi zaparkować to już za tą przyjemność się płaci. Cena za wejście na platformę widokową ( bez wchodzenia na nią te same widoki 🤣) oraz wjazd i zjazd to jak dla mnie troszkę za dużo - 69 złotych od osoby. Polecam dla zakochanych w górach o różnej wysokości 😉

Pieniny National Park is a picturesque and mountainous nature park offering hiking, cycling trails, and rafting opportunities. The low mountains with rocky hilltops are covered in forests, providing abundant flora and fauna for hikers to explore. Additionally, the park offers day trips to see the castles in Czorsztyn and Niedzica. Visitors can enjoy biking along the river or opt for an adventurous rafting experience down Dunajec River Gorge.
Beautiful nature, forests and river ! We went for a family trip with 2 kids. We preffered biking rather then rafting. It's more active and you can stop your bike whenever you like to take pictures of this beautiful park. The road next to the river it's perfect for biking ! We really highly recommend it !!

Bochnia Salt Mine

Mine
Sights & Landmarks
Salt mine dating to the Middle Ages, open for guided tours including an underground ferry crossing.
Amazing experience. Great multi media information displays. The headphone recording device worked well. The tour guide spoke only Polish to the guests so make sure you get the translation headphones. The place is huge. I enjoyed seeing all of the students arriving with backpacks to spend the night inside the mines. What a great experience for them. There is a lot of walking and stairs, so not for people who are not used to walking for hours. Just to let you know. The other tourists and I agreed that this was a super experience which would be a beautiful day trip away from Krakow. The small town of Bochnia was lovely. Make sure you go inside the beautiful cathedral. These are the kind of old architectural structures that remind us of what builders are capable of... Beauty.. Majesty... The Sublime! It was a perfect day trip
Joe K — Google review
Visit to the Bochnia salt mine was interesting but not impressive. We went down to a depth of over 200 meters in a mining elevator. Another attraction was a ride in a mining train. Mrs. Beata (the guide) was very nice and she had a lot of knowledge. Interesting multimedia presentations and mining props. The boat ride took about 5 minutes so a relative attraction for 20 PLN. If I can suggest a trip for a pair of adults, it will be the basic option without a boat "crossing". Our visit to the Wieliczka mine left much better impressions and memories.

First off, I didn't realize there were 2 salt mines in Krakow. When I booked, I thought I booked the Wieliczka Salt Mine. I have to say I was slightly disappointed, but it was my error. This tour was more educational and felt like a school trip, not that that's a bad thing, it just wasn't what I wanted. The tour lasts 3 hours and it has a lot of steps, so wear appropriate shoes. The boat guide was very funny, I kept thinking it was going to capsize, but he assured me it wouldn't. There is a cafeteria and toilets when you get a break, the food I have to say was delicious as we were hungry from walking. All in all, a good day, I just wanted to see more sculptures.

An incredible place. Natural, the feeling of being there is incredible. This mine is one of the oldest, and I'm glad they've preserved its natural interior. The less than four hours (about 3.5 hours of sightseeing) flew by so quickly that I didn't even know when. Our guide, Mr. Marek, had incredible knowledge and passion. We're learning history all over again – thank you, Mr. Marek. I highly recommend it.
Anna K — Google review
My favourite event we did during our trip to Krakow. The staff are dressed in traditional miner's uniforms, the digital displays are great but the mine itself is amazing. From the minute you step into the miner's lift and descend into the shaft you just feel it's going to be great, the train ride and the boat ride are a real highlight but the history and what was created down there is so beautiful. A must do place to visit.

Very interesting tour through the mine, we had a great time and learned a lot of interesting details and historical trivia. We were surprised at how well the media information was integrated in the mine, and we found the experience to be very authentic. We specifically chose this mine tour instead of touring the other large mine near Krakow to get a more authentic experience, and we are so happy with our choice. The headphone audio guide worked well for us, since we didn't understand the Polish language of the person conducting the tour.
Martin — Google review
(Posted because 10 days no answer on e-mail) ! We are very unhappy that there was a mandatory break/lunch in the mine. It was placed right towards the end of the tour which means, that after the 40minutes break, we were being brought up to the surface again. We believe that the mandatory break was added only in order to force people to purchase food from the cantine inside the mine, which was some of the baddest tasting and most exspensive food that I have ever bought. 10zl for 100g of food meant we would have to pay more than 90zl just to get a little food and a drink. Also the souvenir shop inside the mine further indicates, that the 40min mandatory break was added only to force the consumer to make purchases inside the mine, where you are basically "trapped" untill the 40min have passed, because there was also a souvenir shop when we came out of the mine. Besides that, we were a fairly big group and there were constantly issues with the audio. I believe that sensors were supposed to make the audio device start each time you arrive at a special place, but because we were such a big group, it sometimes did not register correctly. We are also unhappy that there was constantly waiting time for several minutes where we were just stranding and waiting for other groups. Overall we are not satisfied that this fairly exspensive tour has done the price justice. We are also unhappy that the slide was not working so we had to walk many steps on foot

In addition to the heel and toe system, you can go up the hill from Zakopane with a lift. I recommend buying lift tickets in advance. Starting in the morning, queues for buying tickets are usually very long in the summer when the weather is nicer. The lift also has an intermediate station where you can make a change if necessary and change part of the ascent (or descent) to a walking tour. The upper lift station also has restaurants (on two floors, the lower of which is always less crowded), a toilet (for a fee) and a phone charging station (lockable free lockers in the room next to the toilets).

Gubałówka is a majestic mountain in the Polish Tatras, offering hiking trails and a cable car to the top, providing panoramic views of the surrounding area. Visitors can take a cable railway to Gubałówka for a more relaxed experience and explore one of the most popular spots in the region. The mountain features regional stalls with colorful souvenirs reflecting the nature and atmosphere of the Polish Tatra Mountains.
When you’re in Zakopane, it’s worth visiting at least once. Not sure if I’d go a second time :) After taking the funicular and heading to the right, the area was much calmer — we liked that part. There were walking trails continuing from there, but since we didn’t have much time, we couldn’t explore and don’t know exactly where they lead. We also tried oscypek on that side and it was delicious. The area leading to the church, on the other hand, was extremely crowded, so we didn’t spend much time there before heading back.
Esra G — Google review
It's a pretty mountain range but we had to do a long day trip to see it. Personally, I didn't think it was worth it. The top of the hill has a number of repetitive kiosks of food and souvenirs but it all felt so touristy and commercial. I would not recommend this visit. You do need tickets for the funicular to go up although we saw people hiking - maybe that would've been a more fun activity.

Gubałówka in Zakopane offers stunning views of the Tatra Mountains and town. Funicular ride is easy and scenic. Some people may sell tickets outside at higher prices, but buying at the ticket window, machine, or online is safer and saves time. Great for photos, relaxing, and enjoying the mountain air!

🌄✨ Gubałówka: Where the Sky Meets the Soul ✨🌄 Standing above Zakopane, cradled by the gentle slopes of Gubałówka, where the wind carries whispers of mountain legends and the horizon stretches like a painted dream. At 1,129 meters above sea level, this beloved peak offers more than just a view—it offers a feeling. A hush. A moment suspended in time. The funicular ride itself felt like a passage into another world—glass-roofed, gliding upward as the rooftops of Zakopane fell away and the majestic Tatras rose to greet me. At the summit, wooden stalls brimmed with local crafts, the scent of oscypek and smoked meats danced in the air, and laughter echoed from cozy cafés tucked into the hillside. But it was the panorama that stole my breath: layers of misty peaks, golden light spilling over valleys, and the quiet awe of nature’s grandeur. Gubałówka isn’t just a destination—it’s a reminder to pause, to breathe, to feel. 📸 If you’ve ever been, you know. And if you haven’t—put it on your list. Your heart will thank you.

Whether you're visiting in summer or winter, Gubalowka offers a unique blend of natural beauty and local culture. Highly recommend for a relaxing day with unforgettable views!

Wieliczka Salt Mine

Mentioned on 
+147 other lists 
Historical place
Nature & Parks
Located on the outskirts of Krakow in South Poland, the Wieliczka Salt Mine is a 13th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest and most stunning salt mines globally. It features underground tunnels, chapels, chambers, saline lakes, and offers themed tours suitable for all ages. The mine showcases an interactive history of medieval European mining techniques and houses remarkable artworks hundreds of meters below ground.
It was absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend visiting! The tour lasts about 2–3 hours and is split into two parts: the salt mine itself and a museum tour afterwards. You can skip the museum if you’re tired. I paid 143 Zł, which I think is totally fair for such a unique experience. The tour guide was fantastic—very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and open. There’s a lot of walking and many stairs,😂 so I’d recommend comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for moving around. It’s definitely suitable for children above a certain age and for older visitors as long as they’re fairly mobile, but it’s not ideal for anyone with limited mobility. As for the highlights: the first massive hall was breathtaking, the two underground lakes were stunning, the underground church was on another level, and the final hall left me completely amazed. All in all, I learned so much that day and had an unforgettable adventure. An absolute must-see!
SAKI — Google review
An absolutely incredible experience and one of the real highlights of our trip. The Wieliczka Salt Mine completely exceeded expectations. It’s vast, beautifully lit and full of fascinating history. The scale of it is hard to take in until you’re actually down there, walking through the tunnels and chambers carved entirely from salt. The guided tour was excellent, with just the right mix of facts, humour and storytelling. The underground chapels and sculptures are astonishing, and it’s amazing to think they were all hand carved by miners. Every turn reveals something unexpected, from chandeliers made of salt crystals to huge caverns that feel almost otherworldly. It’s well organised, easy to reach from Krakow, and surprisingly comfortable even deep underground. I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s one of those rare places that truly lives up to the hype.

A must when visiting Krakow. We booked through Krakow Direct and were picked up/dropped off at our hotel for the tour. Short walk across road to the Salt Mines where Justine, our tour guide was superb and witty. There are lots and lots and lots of steps to go down. Thankfully you don't have to walk back up! Such a marvel of human achievement from centuries ago. The sheer size of this place is mind blowing. To think tourists only get to see less than 2% of it is difficult to comprehend. You will need comfortable shoes and it can get warm with all the walking. The chapels are breathtaking and the sculptures are fantastic. Truly worth a visit and at several points along the tour you can purchase memorabilia which is really well priced which is unusual for a tourist attraction. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

My wife and I visited the salt mine in early October. It is an awe-inspiring place. We would highly recommend a visit. The history is fascinating and the cathedral is spectacular. Our guide, Natalie, was excellent. She was positive, engaging, insightful, and energetic. We had an amazing and memorable time. The tour is quite long (2+ hours) and you do walk over 3 km, descending down through the mine over 100 meters by a mix of ramps and stairs. Good news, you take an elevator back up.
David D — Google review
Impressive mines Yes the mines are absolutely incredible when you consider the engineering and work it took to carve out all those passageways and huge underground halls. Then there's the intricate statues sculpted out of the salt which are incredible. There are also natural wonders such as the underground lakes. You can easily spend up to a day there if the guides would only allow you - but with the crowds they want to move people along. You NEED the guides otherwise you'd get lost in the labyrinth. You are provided with headphones so you can always hear what they're saying. We had Nicholas - he was a lovely guy, but .... could talk less, if I'm honest. At one stage he offered us the option to talk more or talk less. I would have opted for less, but people were too nice/polite and didn't want to hurt his feelings so opted for more. So after a lot of his monotone warbling (sorry Nicholas) I just removed the headphones and took in the beauty of the place for myself. Well worth seeing though
Gavin — Google review
Very interesting and impressive tour. Multiple huge caverns made for a rather different underground experience to all the caves I've previously been in. We even had a nice meal in the underground restaurant before heading back to the surface.
Richard — Google review
I really enjoyed the tour, good information. Amazing views (inside 😄), I can't describe it and the pictures don't do it any justice. The mine is absolutely amazing, the size, the beauty, the effort and detail on the handcrafted figures, everything really. Some of the rooms you enter are just jaw dropping, yout mind just goes to wonder how did someone build this. The temperature is really nice inside, 14-17c at all times, I was happy in a t-shirt but some people had light jackets on. There are loads of gift shops at the exit and they sell everything that the underground ones do, so unless you want to carry bags throughout the tour, buy your gifts at the exit. I tried the restaurant before the return to the surface and it was great. Good food and good quantity. I will be returning in the future. For management, I just have two suggestions...One, please try to get some radio relays in the tunnels as the signal was very bad of you were in the back of the tour group. Two, bigger gaps between tours would be great, just to give more time to see some of the areas in more detail. But overall amazing.
Fabio C — Google review
While the salt mine is interesting to visit and quite impressive with its man-made chambers, corridors and chapels, the overall experience is a 'hit and miss' at best. As you can only visit on an organised tour, a lot depends on the guide you'll get. We went on a pre-booked English-language tour (they start every 30 min) and were very unlucky with our guide. He spoke a very basic, heavily accented, broken English, which was hard to follow and at times bordering on comical. His commentary was devoid of substance and repetitive, mostly stating the obvious. We didn't learn anything interesting about the mine, its history or its current use. Most of the 'installations' were dated and very kitchy. The tour was rushed, with large groups of tourists constantly encroaching on each other's space. In summary: was it interesting? Yes. Was it worth the effort and money? Not so sure.

Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory

Museum
Specialty Museums
Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory, located in the old industrial district between Podgorze and Kazimierz, is a museum that pays homage to the remarkable courage of Oskar Schindler during the Nazi occupation of Krakow. The factory, immortalized in Steven Spielberg's film 'Schindler's List,' was where over 1,200 Jews were saved from concentration camps through employment.
This guided tour was only a little about Schindler as it walks you through the story of Poland in WW2 from different perspectives. Very informative and the hour and a half tour was the perfect length. Our guide spoke clearly and concisely (in English) and was very engaging as she told this fascinating story. We booked tickets and tour online which was a great choice: we skipped the long queue out front and were ushered inside first when our time came. I highly recommend this tour and the guide is so worth it. We definitely would not have got the depth of understanding if we’d gone in on our own. I was deeply moved at various points; this is an experience I will not forget.
Kelly C — Google review
We visited Schindlers factory on rhe first day of our trip to Krakow. We had been in the city about 10 years ago and missed it then so wanted to make sure we got there this time. Firstly this is less a tour of Oskar Schindler's factory anf more a WW2 museum that just happens to be in the same building that Oskar Schindler happened to use. There isnt a lot about Schindler and his workers. Most of it is about the war in Krakow and Poland. Very informative but something you need to know if you are specifically going to see the factory from the film. If you are going with that in mind you may be disappointed. But if you want to learn about WW2 in Krakow then this will be the place for you. Another tip. Book in advance and get a skip the queue ticket. We didnt and when we joined the queue it didnt seem too long maybe 100 people in front of us. It took over 2 hours to get in. Every ten or fifteen minutes around 10 people would get in. Meanwhile dozens got in via skip the queue in the same time. So dont queue. Book a skip the queue tour. But that said we enjoyed the visit and would highly recommend it.

Really interesting museum with lots of information and exhibits. We queued on the day, morning, to get entry. They were letting people in 10 at a time. Took us about 30 mins to get in - the queue was much bigger in the afternoon. The biggest downside to the museum is the sheer amount of tours going through it. Some of the corridors are too narrow for 20 ppl+ groups to just stand around and listen to a guide. If you get caught behind one group it’s a nightmare to get past. Maybe consider limiting the amount of group tours passing through.
Andrew G — Google review
Very atmospheric and well thought out. Seeing the old factory turned into a museum and the history within is truly like time travel. Highly recommend getting tickets and a reservation in advanced; and if you do, do not wait outside with the others, simply walk in within your scheduled tour time. My only gripe with the experience is the annoying tour groups you have to squeeze through in the exhibit. Not only can they block your way, but the actual museum does not make a profit from these people! Why the museum has not address this is unknown but the staff there definitely share the sentiment that something should be done about these groups.
Axel L — Google review
Booked tickets via their website before we travelled to Krakow. You can risk queuing but it's nice to have piece of mind that to are assured a slot. We booked an English speaking tour of the factory. The tour/factory is a deep dive into Krakow's role in WW2, not just about Oscar Schindler. It's a fantastic, immersive museum with well-thought out exhibits. It takes you on a journey through the war years. Absolutely recommend the museum. The tour was great for us, but if you want to spend time reading all the exhibits then do it without a guide.

Kazimierz The Former Jewish District

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Historic Walking Areas
Neighborhoods
Kazimierz, the former Jewish district of Krakow, has a rich history dating back to the 14th century when Jewish people first settled in this area. The architecture here is notably different from the main city and reflects centuries of coexistence between Catholics and Jews. Visitors can explore significant historical sites such as King Kazimierz's legacy, St. Stanislaus' well, remnants of the original ghetto wall, and Schindler's factory.
This is a wonderful district to stay in, I would recommend staying here instead of the city centre. I enjoyed old streets, Jewish shops, cafes. Very authentic and colorful.

This is a very pretty area of the city and not too far to walk from the Old City. It has a tragic history and there are lots of monuments and information boards detailing the events of the 1940's and later that caused the Jewish population to plummet so dramatically. I walked around one evening to take some photos and it was quiet and felt safe although it is more run down and has graffiti and litter that you don't see in the Old City. Lots of nice cafes too!

We took a golf buggy tour around Kazimierz and the Getto with Romeo and his wife who were excellent guides taking us to some very interesting places and telling us all about the history including all about King Kazimierz and Ester, St Stanislaus and visiting his well ,the war and showing us part of the original getto wall and schindler's factory to name just a few.
