Buchlov Castle

Temporarily Closed
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Buchlov Castle, one of the most massive Czech castles, is situated on a hill with the same name. The heavily fortified hilltop castle offers stunning views of the Chriby (Mars Mountains) from its observation tower. The castle houses a museum with artifacts from the area's history and offers several tours for visitors to explore its grounds and learn about its rich heritage. While there are ongoing renovations and limited amenities such as a gift shop, the informative guides make the visit worthwhile.
Nice castle, quite well known within the Czech Republic. They have several tours and even with kids of the age of 3 years you'll enjoy trip. Overall there are 3 main tours and then some more (but not so often) if I am not mistaken, there is one tour per 10-15 minutes. You don't need to buy tickets in advance. Maybe just for weekends when there will be more people coming, but when I went there on mid august, there was still approximately 10 places left for each tour. For English speakers, some tours will give you an English text so that's quite nice to have. As for a pictures, our guide told us that we can take them, but we cannot use flashlight (even tho the sign right below stairs says no pictures at all). The guide we had knew really a lot, and was able to answer all questions we gave her. As a bonus, there is a restaurant inside the castle. Not very big choice of food, but when you're hungry, you'll eat anything.

A beautiful castle with amazing view from up , we went walking from Smraďavka and the way was interesting , it took around an hour and half , the only thing which made us upset that it's not allow to take ur pet with u inside
Abdi A — Google review
It's a beautiful tower but if you are with small kids you will not be allowed to go inside the castle as it's possible to do only with a guide in a group and kids can disturb people around. The area "outside" the castle is free to visit. It's really small but you will find a lot of corners for good photo shoot. Near the castle is a place for parking (free) and cafe with simple food. There you can pay ONLY with CASH!!! So take enough of cash money. The road from parking to castle is easy, so you can go there with kids for sure.

It was an amazing place to visit and the views from the lookout were just plain WOW! The guide was very informative and when they heard me speaking English, a person came to me and handed me a booklet in English. I was able to follow along with what was being said. The Castle is out of the way, but so worth visiting. I can't give it a full 5 stars because there are renovations underway and there was no gift shop or place to buy things. Definitely a place to return to.

Italian Baroque castle from the 1700s, with collections of art & furniture & formal French gardens.
This is amazing garden. Its has widespread area and you could be lost for hours here if you enjoy nature. Its has nice pathways to walk around small collection of peakcocks. I had been here once and really njoyed this place.

Unfortunately dogs cannot enter, even in the garden. I don't understand this restriction, they could request that dogs are kept on the leash or even with a muzzle, but dogs not allowed in a garden in the Czech republic, that's really disappointing.

The chateau was a pleasant surprise, a great closure of the season 2021. The guide was of the best sort, probably a best guide of this season. The sad end of the last owners was worth reminding.

Super disappointed today... traveled from Prague with family and friends to visit this beautiful park (key word-park). We were turned away because they do not allow dogs (it’s a park). Not even on a leash. It’s time to embrace dogs as family members and companions... it’s 2019 after all. As well, our dog is the sweetest gentlest ever. Please consider revising your policy.... really! fyi: your website does not mention dogs are not allowed as well.

Very nice gardens and the chateau is very beautiful. Unfortunately paying almost 300kz for 2 adults and 2 kids just to access the gardens is a little too much. One time visit. On top of it the chateau is under reconstruction and you cannot even appreciate it or take nice pictures from it.

Flower Garden

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Nature & Parks
The Flower Garden is a rare 17th-century gem, showcasing intricate Baroque-style flower beds. Renovated by renowned architects, the garden boasts tree-lined paths, refreshing fountains with stunning sculptures, and a breathtaking colonnade. While some visitors noted a lack of flowers during their visit, others found the garden's layout and decorations to be beautiful. Despite this, many still appreciated its beauty more than other gardens in the area.
Must visit when in Kroměříž. Lovely walk, Foucault Pendulum in Rotunda (replica from Pantheon in Paris)... to prove that Earth is spinning 😃

Beautiful gardens. But don't come here in April. It's still too cold for the flowers to blossom. Come here in later in May or further down the line to have the best experience. Beautiful wall with steps to reach the summit for fantastic view over the gardens

This castle garden is large and you can spend a few hours in it.If there was a restaurant inside,I would stay longer. There are promenades,fountains,small mazes,benches,hedges,beautiful trees and flowers.In the middle there is a rotunda with a beautiful ceiling.I recommend it to families and history lovers.

An absolute beauty in display. It's easy to get lost in the gorgeous flowers as you walk through the hedge alleys and countless fountains. I strongly recommend you pay a visit here if you are passing by. The Kroměříž Castle Flower Garden is one of the most amazing gardens I have ever seen. Try to visit it when the flowers bloom, as you will get the most of it then.

Kroměříž Archbishop's Palace

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Manor house
Sights & Landmarks
The Kroměříž Archbishop's Palace is an opulent chateau featuring rococo rooms, frescoed ceilings, and an art museum surrounded by formal gardens. A three-hour train journey takes you to the town of Kromeriz, where the palace natural park can be found just a short walk from the station. The park boasts a vast 60-hectare space with ponds and rivulets. The palace houses original furniture used by its inhabitants and gifts from royal visitors.
We took the Via Magnifica ticket without a guide and it was a great experience. We came early, shortly after 9:30 alleged opening and bought tickets, however the exhibition does not open until 10:00. Ladies at the counter could've told us. But exhibition was fantastic, I love old paintings, they have a Tizian painting there (unfortunately I couldn't be in awe when the custodian was expecting in, because all I had in my head after she mentioned the name was episode from Egzorcysta, where one demon was asking the other 'Tizian, Tizian! Nie gniewaj şie.) Anyway...the paintings were fantastic, there are couches to just sit and stare at them. We continued to chapel, small, but so beautiful. The library was a feast for my eyes. So many books. SO MANY! Custodian told us they are in two rows and showed us, that in the cabinet after the Liege hall, third shelf from bottom next to the door out, there is a book from Božena Němcová. After the library we went to the tower, steps were fine (be prepared for cca 200 steps) a cute workout. I didn't spend much time out as I am afraid of heights, but the view is 360 and people were satisfied with it. We ended our tour in a castle cafe. They don't have plant based milk, nor lactose free, but tea was good. We ordered cakes: Míša and parisian cake. Mine was the best parisian cake I have ever tasted. Too bad the cafe is so tiny, just a few tables inside and a couple outside, so gets crowded and loud almost immediately, but damn those cakes...should've taken two.
Natalia A — Google review
The Via Magnifica Tour comes with multiple languages in the audio guide and includes picture galleries, some rooms of the palace (including the library), an exhibition on the flower garden you can also visit and a ticket to climb the tower. Friendly and helpful staff, almost no other visitors. Amazing history come to life!

Got there on Tuesday afternoon, but at the security room, a gentleman told me it’s only open on weekends. It’s different from what I learn on the Google map. He told me to visit the free garden though.
Wen — Google review
A there hour train journey to Kroměříž that is worth every minute. And no,you don't need to take a bus from the train station to the town center. Simply walk a dozen of meters and you will fond the palace natural park stretching down near the station. It's huge 60 ha space full of ponds and rivulets. Just make sure to leave it at 5pm as gates close for the night. The palace itself offers all original furniture used by its inhabitants, and presents brought by royal visitors. And do go all the way up to the tower. On a fall morning you will see the mists gradually unvailing the beauty of the main square.

TOTALLY MAGICAL ✨ GREAT HISTORICAL BUILDING WITH AWESOME GARDEN ✌️ YOU CAN GO BY STAIRS TO THE TOWER AND SEE ALL KROMERIZ CITY 👌 AND THE MOST WONDERFUL IS ORIGINAL PAINTING OF TIZIAN FROM 15TH CENTURY 👏
GEORGE B — Google review
DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU DON'T SPEAK CZECH We wanted to visit the palace because we read that it was beautiful. The only way we could visit it was with a guided tour, but they only gave guided tours in Czech. They did give us hope that we could get the information in english. They said that we needed to ask for 'the texts', which were the guided tours written in english for the guides themselves. The texts were way too long to read during the tour (even for the british person who was also on our tour). We were obligated to stay with the group because the next guided tour would be 5 minutes behind us. This was a complete lie since there is only one guided tour each hour (we were 20 minutes into the tour). The guide was very rude to us, just like here colleague who sold the tickets. When we asked to get a partial refund because we didn't receive what was offered to us, the lady just said that it was not her job but that we should try to find the contact information of the archbischop online and ask him?!? We asked if they didn't have any audioguides perhaps and she told us that was also not her job and that it was too hard for them to do it. We went to the museum on the second floor and there were litteraly lying 30 audioguides that weren't being used. There we could get and audioguide in Czech, English and Deutsch. The staff there were really helpful and should get a raise for putting up with their idiotic colleagues.

The zoo provides an enjoyable experience for nature lovers of all ages and offers dining options within the premises.
The zamek is amazingly beautiful and there are so much to see in here. My daughter and her friends are enjoying the trip and loved the animals there. It is quite big area so it takes us about more than two hours to explore.

I expected more from this famous zoo but that is probably just because of the spring season visit i will come again and hopefully will see more animals and prettier nature around. I expected it to be much bigger so booked castle to 3 PM but went through the whole zoo in 3 hours (from 10 am till 1 PM)
Ján M — Google review
Before our trip, I had already read about the zoo. Many sources mentioned that it is definitely worth a visit because it is so impressive. We planned it as a full-day program, and it really turned out that way. The zoo, which is also an arboretum, was absolutely captivating. Most of the paths go through shaded areas, so even in hot weather it is pleasant to walk around. The enclosures are also very well designed. We truly enjoyed our visit.
Dániel K — Google review
It's one of the biggest zoos in central Europe! We had a great time exploring animals from various parts of the world. Some parts of the zoo could be better maintained, but that wouldn't stop me from recommending it to fellow parents. Parking could be a hassle, so allow a bit of extra time to find a spot.
Sanket M — Google review
We had a fantastic family day at Zoo Zlín! We spent the entire day there and the kids were completely captivated. They absolutely loved seeing the tigers and the elephants, which were definitely highlights for them. But the biggest surprise for all of us was the Stingray Bay—the kids were thrilled to get to touch and even feed the stingrays! It was such a unique and memorable experience. The zoo is beautifully kept and there's so much to explore. We could have easily stayed even longer. We highly recommend Zoo Zlín for a fun and engaging day out with the family!

The museum provides tours for 1 or 2 hours, with the latter including an underground mine shaft experience. Visitors can opt for an mp3 audio guide available at cost in English, German, and Polish as the tours are conducted only in Czech. Hats are provided during the underground tour as some parts have low ceilings or beams.

Fascinating decommissioned mine, with an actual cavern section underground and an elaborate exhibit dedicated to the regional mine rescue organization. Well worth the money and 2 hours of your time.
Leon K — Google review
If you are a small group of less than ten people who don't speak czech I highly recommend getting only the short tour ticket. What they fail to convey is that the second part of the tour you will be forced to walk around with the Czech group and be ridiculed for not knowing the language, outright mocked like we're in highschool. The museum itself is really interesting and the history is very well presented, but the mining part of the tour is just unappealing if you're just looking to check the museum out casually. The app they give you for translating the information and listening to it is just not well written and sadly you can't get any coherent information from it. Just plan ahead and get a guide if you are interested about the mining shaft.

Entrance is arround 12€. Mine lift is clasic elevator. Elevator cabin is just changed to mine lift cabin with bell. And you go down 5 metres. Or 4?? If you expect that real mine lift which go down 800 m deep quite fast. This is not that. You don't even get breathing machine. Good for kids up to 10 Y for explaining. Not like real day work shift experience in mine.

I advise againts spontaneous visitation if don't speak Czech. There is an English translation app you can download, which gives brief information about Indiana vidual stop Points, but keep in mind you will most-likely have a Czech speaking tour and it will be hard to see the described items (keep in mind you are also not allowed to walk alone in the mine, so you ate stuck with your group. If you want to see some early 20 century mining and diving equipment - just buy a ticket for the Mining Rescue tour and ignore the mine. The app gives a decent overview and the Rescue is a standard museum, so you can walk free. Expect to be smirked at if you're not an English or German speaker

Tours are 1 or 2 hours. 1 hr is above ground only and covers mining rescue. 2 hr tour has an add on to the underground mine shafts. Tours in Czech only but mp3 available at cost in English German and Polish. Total for 2 hr tour with mp3 ckr 190. Hats are provided for underground as the ceiling or beams get low at times.

Really nice zoo where they are taking really good care of the animals! Almost each species has a space with trees, leaves and everything they need. I really recommend visiting this Zoo! You can buy tickets at the entrance. The parking costs 100 CZH per day.

Very nice zoo - it’s a great connection between animals and botanical gardens in park style. If you are hungry- you can use a full variety of food and cafes. Children also won’t be sad or bored - they can use many different areas for play and joy. Visiting this place is very valuable and gives many opportunities to learn and explore our environment. Five stars and full recommendations!

Great place with watch tower on the top and restaurants promising good Czech draftbeer and Polish grill and sausages. All of it is sourrounded by a forest and a great landscape.

Karel L — Google review
Lovely little animal park. It sort of comes as a surprise to find an alpaca walking on the road alongside you. GREAT collection of owls but their enclosures are small enough to make you kind of go "Oh, poor thing." But the falconer show is well worth the visit! Those guys are good, even though they couldn't get the eagle out for the kids this time. So it goes. Big playground but some bits are paid and the carnies there are a little slimy, but they give the kids lots of time on the trampoline. The restaurant up top is very Polish in that they have a lovely large menu posted outside that you spend twenty minutes staring at and deciding then go in and they say "We have two things, everything else no." Seems to be a theme around these parts. But the řizek was good and the fries were really good. My wife also praised the coffee from the stand at the playground for actually serving a decent-sized coffee. You won't need the whole day here, but it is a nice way to spend a morning and lunch, especially if you have kids.
Tom H — Google review
Great experience with my family even on a rainy day. The birds of pray show was breathtaking and the beautiful forrest animals we saw were already worth the ticket price. Additionally, the stuffed animal and antlers display was very informative and you can touch. Did not expect to see the racoons. :-) Other than that the carousels were dismantled in winter and the fairytale display a bit dated, but it gave us a laugh. We used up the whole bag of the feed purchased at the gate feeding some hungry deers. Warning: To get there you have to hike up along unpaved road, or find a parking spot, which due to the building site works are limited. Pro tip: Hotel Diament two streets below is a delicious gourmet spot for lunch/dinner afterwards.
Paula L — Google review
Great place to spend a few hours, at a relatively reasonable price. Food was tasty at the cafe at the top. The deers were very friendly and lovely to feed and stroke. The bird show was decent. Plenty of free parking available.

Nice cheap day out for the family, two flying displays, owls and other birds of prey. Lots of animals running wild in the park, goats, deer and alpacas. A small amusement park in the summer with games for the kids and places to. Bar and hot food served at the top of the park all year around. Good wholesome day out feeding the goats and donkey.
Craig M — Google review
There are a few animals, mostly owls and birds of prey in cages. You can touch and feed sikas and llamas if they are not overfed by crowds of people. If you have a stroller with little wheels, you are screwed as there are mostly gravel paths. In the centre there is a little amusement park for kids. For 12 euros/person you get very little. If you want to see a lot of animals in better conditions, make a trip to the Ostrava zoo which is a proper zoo for roughly half price.
David S — Google review
We visited Leśny Park Niespodzianek a few days ago on a sunny day. The park was busy but not overcrowded. Unfortunately, the visit was very sad for me. Almost all of the animals looked bored and apathetic. The deer and alpacas roam freely and you can buy feed at the entrance, but it is a waste of money as the animals showed no interest at all. The enclosures in general are poorly designed and lack care. The worst were the wildcats: tiny, dirty cages, full of cobwebs, with no enrichment or places to hide. They were lying curled up on the bare ground. I have visited many wildlife parks in Germany, but I have never seen such poor conditions there. The raccoons were in a similar situation, kept in a small cage with no shelter and nothing to play with. I also felt very sorry for the beautiful birds of prey, kept in enclosures far too small for such large, majestic animals. In my opinion, the so-called Fairy Tale Alley with loud music does not belong in a place where wild animals live, since the noise must cause them additional stress. Our 3-year-old child enjoyed the playground, especially the large ball pit and the diggers. However, the alpacas have their food and water right in the middle of the playground and are constantly bothered by people. I even saw them being touched or hit by the swings while people were playing. The park is hardly accessible with a stroller, which was fine for us as we did not have one. The ticket price is far too high for just a few hours, especially when you see the poor condition of the animals. Conclusion: A place with huge potential that, sadly, is not being used. As long as the animals are kept in such conditions, I cannot and will not recommend this park.
Julia K — Google review
a great place to spend time with your loved ones. the possibility of communing with animals of our Polish forests. animals have already become accustomed to visitors and, above all, to children. the part with birds and the show of flying predators deserve attention. for PLN 32 per person, you can spend a nice day. When choosing a place, remember a few important things: good, comfortable shoes, because walking is a lot steep and rocky. if you are going with small children do not take the pram. downside is the waiting time at the checkout. the owner should take care of more bandwidth. I highly recommend this place.

Review for the town only, we didn't stay at the hotel. Absolutely fantastic! 🤩 It opens at 10 am and I recommend to go there as early as possible because one can easily spend there the whole day 😀 I took my children there at 2pm, we stayed till 6pm and we didn't manage to see everything because this place is huge and packed with super fun activities 😃 The staff are fantastic, friendly and incredibly helpful - my children don't understand much Polish so some staff explained things in fluent English 🌟 The bank robbery show was funny and the children have photo with the wild west crew! 🤠 Restaurant is very good, dishes are super tasty, quite the American size with Polish prices 🍛🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Bumper cars are the real deal! Children spent 30 min on this attraction alone and only left because the park closed at 6 🤣 I'm looking forward to going back during the next few days for quite a few more hours 😁

Impressive to stand afoot at the bottom of the jump and look up in awe at its size and wonder how these ski jumpers have the stomach to literally fly. Sadly at this time, snow is sparse so it looks a little tired, however it is closed season and to be expected. Visiting Wisła, got 20-30 mins to spare, go take a look. Would be so much more awesome to see jumpers flying down it.

It is a ski jump facility at the Malinka hill. The fly and jumping track together are around 250 metre in length. This hill is used from the beginning of twentieth century. The present structure is of international standard and was built in 2008 with a seating capacity of 8000 visitors and chair lifts to go up. The first jumper was famous Polish jumper Adam Malysz who is a winner of several world championships. The facility was named after Adam Malysz as well. During summer when there is no snow, the track is covered by polythene sheet, and a competition is often organized to run or climb from the bottom to the top. It is called Barbarian Race. The slope of the hill is around 35 degree.

Okay, so we just expected "some palms in a glasshouse" and in fact, that is what it was... But, the flora here is really impressive, the place is wonderfully taken care of, the added fauna adds wonderfully to the entire experience (especially the aquarium section at the end) and all this at a very fair price. Some more info boards would've made this a bit more educationally valuable, but already as it is, it's a lovely nature-exploring experience.

Awesome place to visit during winter. Temperature of this place has been well maintained to help plants and animals live in harsh cold of Poland. I would recommend this place to plants and aquarium lovers. There are smallest to largest fishes. I would love to visit again as there are plants which grows in only certain temperature and climate. Well maintained but should have been well exhibited as the details or name of the species is in polish and would be difficult for a foreigner to understand.

Guido Mine and Coal Mining Museum

Tours with ex-miners of 19th-century coal mine tunnels, plus museum & subterranean concert chambers.
Super experience and we had a fantastic guide in English who could tell us everything we wanted to know. Guido is an experimental mine and that allows visitors to see some cool machines and techniques from up-close. Also drinking a beer in the deepest bar in the world is a must-do experience. Would absolutely like to visit again!
Jeroen O — Google review
If you ask me to name the most interesting museum (and believe me, I have visited many), then the Guido mine is still far ahead.⚒️ Let's start from the beginning, the mine itself stopped mining relatively recently, so the entire environment is as authentic as possible! Next, where else can you go down 300 meters underground?! The guides tell you about the history of coal mining with interest, so you will definitely not be bored. The lack of interactivity is more than compensated for by the uniqueness of the place, a ride on a mine train, the deepest bar🍺 in Europe with delicious beer, and for the most extreme, the opportunity to feel like a miner and try to mine coal with your own hands. I could go on and on, but why bother - just buy a ticket and visit this place. Or better yet, visit the adit and go rafting on the underground river. I do not regret a single penny spent!

The tour guide was clearly explained. ✅ The real operations of grinding machine can be seen on-site. ✅ Enjoying riding on the electric powered mine-cart for short minutes. ✅ You'll learn and use mining workers ' greeting. "Szczęśc Boże! (God bless you)". ✅ Toilets and pubs are placed at the end of the touring place. ❌ The receptionist guided wrongly for waiting place for the boat tour even though I arrived one-hour before the tour started. I was told by the receptionist," if any claims, send an email on the website."

Visitors can reach the mountain top via an easy hike or by taking a cable car to enjoy stunning 360-degree views of the forested surroundings and the Bielska-Biala valley. The hiking trail starting at the intersection of Karbowej and Armii Krajowej is a popular choice for those seeking panoramic vistas.
Here so many things to describe. Bus no. 7&8 is for szyndzielnia from Bielsko-Biała (prezydnt hous). Bus drop u at end station from where u have to walk around 10-15min. To reach at gondola station. The fee of gondola is 31pln per person. The ride took around 10min. To reach at mid of journey, from where we have to walk around 3 km. Upward for the main destination(view). Moreover if u r vegetarian or only chicken eaters then u need to carry ur own food& water bcz here u only get other stuff.After all the view if u need to come down without gondola thn u must have map. Bcz there are so many different ways which make us confused. Most important the RED(🔴),GREEN(🟢) & YELLOW (🟡) mark on tree is for mapping. Which help us to take exact and right way to get down. We went through the (RED) MARK WHICH WAS QUite SHORT.

Pszczyna Castle, a stunning Baroque masterpiece nestled in the heart of Silesia, is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and families alike. This magnificent structure boasts beautifully preserved interiors from the late 1800s that transport you back in time.

A worthwhile palace to visit. I expected a bit more, but overall it's an interesting place with an armoury (additional ticket required), paintings, fireplaces, furniture and a number of well-preserved rooms. Some corridors are closed, which was a bit of a disappointment, but overall if you're nearby there it's worth a visit, which will take you just over an hour.

We visited Pałac w Pszczynie as a family group (2 adults, 1 senior, and 4 children) and had a lovely time exploring this beautiful historic site. You can purchase tickets at the gate close to the main Square of the city or inside the castle there is a ticket machine too. A nice lady in the office offered us the best price for us with discounts for big family card holders and for seniors etc. The palace itself is truly impressive – well-preserved interiors, rich in history and beautifully furnished. Walking through the elegant rooms felt like stepping back in time. We admired the grand staircase, chandeliers, and antique furniture. There are informative signs in each room, although younger kids might benefit from a interactive exhibit to keep them interested longer. The palace is surrounded by a lovely park, perfect for a relaxing walk or picnic after touring the interiors. Overall rating: 5/5 stars – a must-see attraction in Pszczyna.

Pszczyna Castle is the most prominent noble residence in Silesia. Today, the castle serves as a museum and has served as the residence of Polish and German nobles for centuries. Admission to the museum is free on Tuesdays, so there may be a queue at the door. The museum displays personal belongings of the German noble family that was the last owner of the castle. It took us 40 minutes to tour the museum.

Really posh and nicely decorated palace! It has several floors, and there is an elevator for people with special needs, but not everywhere. The are extra expos inside for extra pay too (like weapons or paintings). It will take at least 1 hour or 2 to visit! There is lots of authentic furniture and decor items. All in all it's worth taking time to explore it inside! And outside there is a large palace park to visit (it's free). There's no parking by the palace, just use some of the city parking spots.

Museum itself little small, only few rooms. There are interesting displays in the basement and exhibitions on the second floor, but with additional fee. Also audio guide is not included in the ticket. Around the palace, there is a very nice park to walk and relax. Free Tuesdays.

15.8.2025 top reconstruction,52 PLN incl top audioguide but without galery and armory.For me one level smaller than Potockis Lancut,but due to presence of Wilhelm2 during WW1 this place wrote history....

Ogrody Kapias

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
Botanical garden featuring flower-lined paths, a maze & a pond with water lilies, plus themed areas.
One of the most beautiful garden I have ever seen. Mix of English, Japanese, Romantic, Scandinavian and other types of gardens. Worth visiting!
Maciej S — Google review
That moment when a private garden is significantly better than a botanical garden. A large and open-to-all private garden with a maze, lots of greenery, and pieces of nature from different parts of the world. The garden is beautiful in any season. And yes, there is a plant shop.

Really liked this place. Of course we were lucky with the weather and the bright colors and greenery were amazing! There are a lot of plant species, everything is stylized and zoned. I recommend visiting in spring/summer in sunny weather :)
Olga S — Google review
Admission is free. It's a wonderful place. Lots of benches. I think it's a must-see. The walk takes about 2-3 hours, but you could easily spend a whole day here.

A great place where you can spend time in the bosom of nature. Everyone will find an attraction for themselves. We were there for the second time and once again we enjoyed the wonderful gardens. I highly recommend.
Paulina M — Google review
Great place, a lot of work put into maintaining it and it shows. Allow at least 2 hours for the visit. Garden Centre with a wide variety of items for sale available. There is a restaurant and children's playground as well. Entry to the garden is free as well as parking spaces which are a plenty. Recommended.

Arena Spodek, often likened to a UFO due to its flying saucer-shaped design, is a renowned indoor arena in Katowice. Situated near Mariacka Street and the Silesian Museum, it stands out as one of the city's most distinctive spaces with its futuristic and minimalist vibe. Once an operational coal mine, it now hosts various cultural and sporting events, including rock concerts and basketball games.
I was in GYC conference here…Amazing place,and incredibly beautiful…
Ольга О — Google review
Attended the 2025 counterstrike 2 tournament, upon entering the stadium there was a long line and once you were allowed inside it was hell, everyone was pushing and pulling... but this is because obviously everyone wants the best seat, in the middle. Other than that, it was good. Nice to experience once.
Harry B — Google review
Great arena in Katowice! I was here for EuroBasket 2025 and had an excellent experience. The venue is spacious and from every seat you get a perfect view of the court. The staff and people around were very helpful, which made it easy to get around as a tourist. There’s also a good variety of food, though prices are on the higher side. Overall, a really good experience
Michael S — Google review
Visited for IEM Katowice 2024, so for 3 days straight. The arena was nice and clean with plenty of cloakrooms (almost no wait at the end of the event, fantastic). Toilets were kept clean. Beer on the pricier side, but really that is a standard in these types of arenas. I also have to commend the beatiful architecture from the outside. One of the prettiest arenas I saw.

You can tell this place is old, but it's still a great venue for basketball matches.

The Silesian Museum, located in Katowice, Poland, is a unique combination of art and industry housed in a former coal-mining site. The museum's collection is presented through underground galleries that are 12-16 meters below the surface. The museum is part of the International Congress Centre, which also includes the Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra's auditorium.
One of my favourite museums to visit. Great selection of art- especially that representative of local vibes. Interesting exhibitions both temporary and permanent . I love the buildings architecture. I already miss the cafeteria and most amazing matcha latte there😋

This is a collection of buildings with a wide variety of exhibits. There are large collections of modern art on display in several of them. In the main building there are some extremely impressive exhibits, taking you through the history of Silesia, it's people and it's culture. There is one building which retains the original steam powered winding wheel, which unfortunately no longer seems to work. The huge shaft winding tower was unfortunately closed for rehabilitation when we visited (August 2025) - it would be a great viewing platform if it was open. A lot of the open spaces were closed of for repairs, but it still a nice area to walk around. Definitely worth a visit for the impressive history exhibits, or if you like modern art.
Martin E — Google review
Very modern museum with a lot of interesting facts about the history of Silesia. The design of the indoor area is pretty cool. Whilest my visit the entry was free, but I think, it was only at this day. Unfortunately you can't visit the exhibition in the area on the outside at the moment.
Jakob T — Google review
Worth a visit. A modern art museum which is accessible to most tastes and preferences coupled to a very detailed and immersive presentation of the history of Silesia. Located in a large park with old mining buildings. Most of the park was closed due to construction works, at the time of my visit.
Haris G — Google review
Amazing museum with very cheap tickets. There are many exhibitions in different buildings so there is a lot to see and at least 2 hours to spend. The best was the history of Silesia. Everything is labeled in PL/DE/ENG 👍 Definitely worth a visit
Václav M — Google review
The Silesian Museum in Katowice is impressive not only for its striking underground architecture but also for its outstanding art collections. The galleries of Polish painting from the 19th and 20th centuries are beautifully curated, showing both classics and modern works. It’s a perfect place for anyone who loves art and history.
Olesya Z — Google review
We visited on Friday, there was no queue. The lady on reception spoke excellent English. I've never been through metal detectors going into a place like this before. It was very different to what we were expecting. The site is an old mine that has been turned into an art house. There is a section of the site dedicated to the first and second world wars. The gallery spaces are large and the art fits in the spaces comfortably. There is a small shop on site with the usual range of souvenirs and snacks.

Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau

Concentration camp memorial site
Museums
The Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau is a former concentration camp in southwest Poland that serves as a site of mass atrocity, Holocaust remembrance, and education. It is a significant tourist attraction and offers guided educational tours to provide visitors with a comprehensive understanding of the tragic history within its walls. The museum is an important destination for millions of tourists visiting Krakow and stands as a remnant of one of the most horrific regimes in human history.
It's worth going here to get some understanding of the scale and suffering that Jews and others had handed out by the Nazis during their time in power. Walking around the camp just shows what man can do to fellow man. The suffering and death on an industrial scale. The museum does well to preserve the past so we don't forget. There is a lot of walking involved so plan ahead especially if you take a guided tour as they move quickly but do give you lots of information about the camp and the people who went through the gates, many for the last time.

Was a somber experience being in a place of death and torture, especially for my family members who endured this egregiously harsh and inhumane reality during WWII. We were never told to purchase tickets in advance so the museum was booked solid when we drove 3.5 hours from Warsaw to visit. The new Israeli owners, as crazy as it seems, have made it more difficult to gain entry with a walk in. We are able to observe the outskirts which was just as surreal and contained some valuable informative sights to see.

Incredibly somber and emotional experience. Seeing the scale of what happened here is overwhelming. We visited on a nice sunny day, but I couldn’t help but feel what the conditions must have felt like for those held within the camp during the harsh polish winters. A must see for anyone to remind us of what happened and try to ensure it can never happen again.

A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to. We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.
Vjatseslav L — Google review
Probably one of the most badly organised tourist destinations in the world ! Always wanted to visit but was very disappointed, the complete cluster fxxk of the main entry, the inability to secure private tickets in advance via a official site, this resulted in almost 45 min to wait in a outdoor line until we could get to the ticket office and then another 2 hour wait until our time slot to actually get through the gate. I'd gladly pay €5-10 for advance tickets if I could get a guaranteed time to get in when I arrive. Once in there was no real flow or direction of what to see or what order to see it in. The official map was about as much use as sand in a desert, honestly a 5 year old could have drawn a better plan. Inside large tour groups dominated all the various things to see and we were often barged out of the way or unable to pass them while they blocked doors or things to see. My impression of the place has been ruined by visiting it and then when coming out, they don't even have clear signage where to get public transport back or a covered bus stop. The urban planner / architect who designed the new entrance and coach part obviously never tried visiting as a tourist.

This is a very sad experience. But I do recommend everyone to visit once in a lifetime. I learnt about it in a history lesson, but seeing it for real was just something else. The scale of it is just mad. There was 2 camps, second camp had more than 300 buildings. They were killing almost 5k people a day, in a gas chamber they fit 700 people at a time 😮 Its just crazy to see all the shoes of people who died there. And crazy to see the gas chamber. We all need to see the scale of it and learn from it so the history wont repeat itself... In the second camp, last building we entered was the barrack of ill women, it was called the death barrack, all of them were ill or unable to work, they were getting no food or water and if the barrack was full they were made to stay outside in a yard and wait to be taken to the gas chamber. Most of them died there in a barrack. It's so cruel. The free car park not in use. All car parks around is approx 30zloty. There is massive queue to get it, takes forever due to amount of people visiting. To get in need to go thru security like in the airport. Then there is audio tour. Our guide was not great, was hard to hear her as she didnt hold microphone properly. Was way too many people and very long backlog so we skipped quite few barracks. Once we got to second camp by bus our tour guide didnt wait for everyone so we got lost. Not very well organised tbh. After 1pm most days can visit camps without tour guides and it is free. This place would give chills to everyone.

Powerful to say the least! This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable
Andrew S — Google review
One of the must see place if you are nearby. A piece of the most terrible european history, which shouldn't be forgotten. Very impressive. Get your ticket in advance on the web, as you can get guider in your language.
