(Translated by Google) The museum is quite good, but there is still room for improvement. It is impossible not to note the good pricing policy; it is friendly to visitors. The museum has a great atmosphere, helpful staff who will show and tell you everything. When visiting it, I paid only 100 rubles and received very positive emotions and I consider this a justified price, especially since the museum’s exhibits are very interesting for those who love photography. There is also an excellent bookstore with photo works by various authors at good prices. I highly recommend visiting this museum, as in my opinion it is worthy. (Original) Музей вполне себе неплохой, но еще есть куда развиваться. Нельзя не отметить хорошую ценовую политику, она здесь дружелюбная к посетителям. У музея отличная атмосфера, отзывчивый персонал, который все покажет и расскажет. Посещая его, я заплатил всего 100р и получил очень положительные эмоции и считаю это оправданной ценой, тем более экспонаты музея очень интересные тем, кто любит фотографию. Также имеется отличный магазин книг с фото работами разных авторов по хорошим ценам. Крайне рекомендую к посещению этот музей, так как по моему мнению он достойный.

(Translated by Google) 09/22/2019-Extremely disappointed with our visit to the Museum of Russian Photography in Kolomna. Schoolchildren from Moscow were not allowed into the museum, the door was literally slammed in their faces. They were motivated by the fact that the museum can only be accessed by appointment; however, the museum’s website says that excursions by appointment only on Wednesdays and Thursdays, all other days admission is free. I really hope for an apology from the museum management. (Original) 22/09/2019-Крайне разочарованы посещением музея русской фотографии в Коломне. Школьников из Москвы не пустили в музей, захлопнув дверь буквально перед носом. Мотивировали тем, что в музей можно попасть только по предварительной записи.;при этом на сайте музея сказано, что экскурсии по записи только по средам и четвергам, все остальные дни вход свободный. Очень надеюсь на извинения со стооны руководства музея.

Beautiful churches in the old city center of Kolomna. Definitely worth a visit.
CL S — Google review
Worth a day trip from Moscow. Medieval city castle (Kreml), architectural monument. + Unique is the urban development along the Kremlin wall. Very large parts of the historic wall no longer exist today. Between the towers that still exist today, small terraced houses have been built along the line of the wall - unique. + Interesting, open Kremlin + nice view of the Moskva River. + good tourist infrastructure. + traffic-free zones. Downtown along the main street. On the outskirts the river Moskva flows into the river Oka.

Kolomenskoye is a historic district located in the southeast of Moscow, Russia, that features a beautiful park and an impressive collection of historic buildings. The district's most famous attraction is the Kolomenskiy Kreml', a UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the 16th century. Here are some pros and cons of visiting Kolomenskiy Kreml': Pros: Historic Significance: The Kolomenskiy Kreml' is a significant historical landmark that dates back to the reign of Ivan the Terrible. The buildings within the kremlin showcase a range of architectural styles, from medieval to traditional Russian. Beautiful Scenery: The park surrounding the Kolomenskiy Kreml' is stunning, with expansive green spaces, walking trails, and views of the Moskva River. Cultural Activities: The Kolomenskiy Kreml' is home to several museums and galleries, including the Church of the Ascension, which features beautiful frescoes, and the Wooden Palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, which is a unique example of traditional Russian architecture. Peaceful Atmosphere: Despite its popularity as a tourist destination, the Kolomenskiy Kreml' and its surrounding park have a peaceful atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Cons: Crowded: The Kolomenskiy Kreml' can get crowded, especially during peak tourist season, leading to long lines and wait times. Limited Access: Some of the buildings within the kremlin are off-limits to visitors, and you can only access them with a special tour or permission. Expensive: The entry fee to the Kolomenskiy Kreml' and its museums can be quite high, especially for foreign visitors. Overall, the Kolomenskiy Kreml' is a must-visit attraction in Moscow, Russia. With its historical significance, beautiful scenery, and cultural activities, it offers a unique glimpse into Russian history and culture. While the crowds and limited access can be a drawback, the experience of visiting the Kolomenskiy Kreml' is worth it.

(Translated by Google) We visited the Kolomna Kremlin, and overall we really liked it, with the exception of some nuances. Tickets were booked on the Kolomna Kremlin website, and a confirmation was received by email from the Liga Tour company indicating the time and date. The tour started at the appointed time, and our group consisted of more than 30 people, which, in my opinion, is a minus. The excursion lasted two hours and took place outside on the territory of the Kremlin, and also included a visit to the towers. On the street, the guide ruined the whole impression: she gave the tour in an hour, moving quickly and speaking quietly. She was not interested in the fact that elderly people and children did not have time to catch up with her, and she did not react in any way to requests to wait for the others or to turn the microphone louder. But the excursion to the Kremlin towers was simply magnificent - interesting and exciting. We were greeted by guides in themed costumes, and everything went in one breath. The guide spoke with humor, tried to pay attention to everyone, and invited older people to sit on a bench. At the end, everyone thanked the guide and even applauded. (Original) Мы посетили Коломенский кремль, и в целом нам очень понравилось, за исключением некоторых нюансов. Билеты бронировали на сайте Коломенского кремля, и на почту пришло подтверждение от компании 'Лига-тур' с указанием времени и даты. Экскурсия началась в назначенное время, и наша группа составила более 30 человек, что, на мой взгляд, является минусом. Экскурсия длилась два часа и проходила на улице по территории кремля, а также включала посещение башен. На улице экскурсовод испортил все впечатление: она провела экскурсию за час, быстро передвигаясь и тихо говоря. Её не интересовало, что пожилые люди и дети не успевали догонять её, и на просьбы подождать остальных или сделать микрофон громче она никак не реагировала. Зато в башнях кремля экскурсия была просто великолепной — интересной и увлекательной. Нас встретили экскурсоводы в тематических костюмах, и всё прошло на одном дыхании. Экскурсовод рассказывал с юмором, старался уделить внимание каждому, а пожилым людям предлагал присесть на лавочку. В конце все благодарили экскурсовода и даже аплодировали.

(Translated by Google) The history of the Kolomna Detinets began at the beginning of the 14th century, the current stone Kremlin - in the middle of the sixteenth century. By the 21st century, six towers and the Pyatnitsky Gate, as well as fragments of walls, had been preserved. Everything looks impressive. Nowadays the territory of the Kremlin is an excellent public space, a great place for walking... Moreover, the Kremlin has many attractions and other tourist sites - from the Assumption Cathedral to cafes with Kolomna rolls... (Original) История Коломенского детинца началась в начале XIV веке, нынешнего каменного кремля - в середине века шестнадцатого. К XXI веку сохранилось шесть башен и Пятницкие ворота, а также фрагменты стен. Всё выглядит внушительно. Ныне территория кремля - отличное общественное пространство, великолепное место для прогулок... Тем более, что в кремле имеется множество достопримечательностей и прочих туристических объектов - от Успенского кафедрального собора до кафе с коломенскими калачами...

It's the main spiritual shrine of the Russian Orthodox Church and a remarkable example of Russian art. The monastic ensemble includes architectural masterpieces such as the Trinity Cathedral, adorned with icons by masters of the school of Andrei Rublev, and the Assumption Cathedral, which replicates the one in Moscow Kremlin.

It is beautiful and features a stunning collection of buildings, including the Trinity Cathedral, which houses the relics of St. Sergiu. The monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major pilgrimage destination. We really enjoyed the variety of buildings and inside collections of art and icons.

Visited here in September, 2014. This unbelievably colorful abbey (or cathedral?) is the center of the area called "Sergiyev Posad". According to what I have googled, this abbey is like a symbol of Russian Orthodox Church. You can go there by train from a station in Moscow, taking about 1 hour. It's long a little bit, but you don't have to change a train on the way, so it might be just a great chance to see beautiful sceneries of the Moscow suburb from a train window. Personally I guess those who haven't been to Russia can never imagine this country really likes something colorful, especially churches and palace, but it is not the case. Once you have come here, sort of stereotype in your mind would be changed.

Свято-Троицкая Сергиева Лавра. Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra. A historical legacy of the historical development of the orthodox church in Russia, The building is shaped like a broad fortress and inside there are several buildings such as churches, monasteries and other buildings. In this place, you will find a lot of priests coming in and out between the prayer hall and the dormitory. When you enter the church complex you will see a magnificent gate with various paintings on the ceiling. The thick walls which partly start to peel with age but are maintained and well cared for. Besides being actively used as a place of worship, this place is also a museum. If you have free time you can stop by on the left side of the entrance there is a cafe run by a church that sells typical Russian food and according to the menu, all foods sold there are also menus of priests and residents of the monastery. Inside the area, you can find several shops selling various souvenirs, complete from key chains and simple magnets to beautiful and expensive icons. If you like jewelry and crystal work you can also buy it there. If you feel hungry around there is a bread shop, cafe and fresh fruit seller in the area.

Well worth a visit to this amazing museum with line after line of truly iconic and unique Soviet era aircraft...an absolute treat for aircraft enthusiasts and alike. To be honest, the display could do with some TLC (open air museum after all) and also signposted directions from Monino train station. Fantastic place!

Absolutely amazing airspace museum. Some of the rarest airplanes made in the Soviet Union and Russia is here. I am highly impressed with the collection and the facts. A bit upset on the upkeep of the planes and artifacts, probably due to funding , and the lack of information and facts on some planes. Otherwise a must visit. But do come in the warm period. I visited in the winter and it was cold but still enjoyable. Would recommend to anybody. Even with children

For aviation fans (like me) the visit is well worth the travel time to get there from Moscow City: A large selection of Russian military aircraft from between the two world wars to current times. Most of the few indoor exhibits are only with explanations in Russian, most of the outdoor exhibits have English spec sheets, too. The TU-144 is very special to see! We had a great opportunity to enter the fuselage and cockpit of the largest helicopter of the world: A technician let us in through a side door! Impressive!! The entry fee is relatively cheap, the memorabilia shop ok. The lady there very friendly. The travel with the Russian railway from Yaroslavsky station took about an hour and didn't cost much. To the "non-aviation-enthusiast" visitor a warning: The overall maintenance of the place is not exactly outstanding, some of the exhibits are not in a good condition - I guess they're fighting budget problems.

St. Basil's Cathedral, also known as Pokrovsky Cathedral or The Cathedral of Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat, is a 16th-century former cathedral located in Red Square, Moscow. It now houses a museum of the church and is recognized for its multicolored domes that create a unique and vibrant appearance.
Visited St Basils Cathedral in March. It was our first visit to Russia, very much loved the country and the citizens. They were warm and helpful. Our first day was to Saint Basils Cathedral. Felt surreal by the very first look. The climate was good hence we were able to take a walk around as well. This place is a must visit

How can one skip visiting one of Moscow’s most iconic landmarks? Before learning its true name, I used to think of it as the “Tetris building.” The kaleidoscopic exterior, crowned with its whimsical onion domes of irregular shapes, is truly mesmerizing. Inside, the chambers are adorned with centuries-old church icons. An absolute must-visit.

Visiting St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow was honestly a dream come true for me. I always imagined taking a photo standing right in front of this colourful and iconic cathedral, and finally being there in real life felt unreal. The moment I saw it with my own eyes, I got so excited because it looked exactly like the picture I had in my mind for so long. The cathedral is even more beautiful in person with its vibrant colours, unique onion domes, and detailed designs. It truly stands out in Red Square and feels like something from a fairytale. I walked around the area, took so many photos, and just enjoyed the view from every angle. It’s one of those places that gives you that “wow” feeling the moment you step close. For me, this was one of the most special moments of my trip, finally standing in front of the cathedral I always dreamed of. A must-visit when you’re in Moscow!

Located at the Red Square. St. Basil's Cathedral was built in 1555-1561 by the order of tsar Ivan the Terrible in honor of the victory of the Russian army over the Kazan Khanate. Its 16th-20th centuries interiors kept preserved. The vaults and walls of the cathedral was are richly decorated with murals, precious gifts of the royal family members are kept in the former sacristy. Wall paintings and church icons tells about the wonderful miracles of the Saint.

This place is iconic. You can't come to Moscow without seeing it. It's located right next to the red Square and during different times of the day, it takes on a different look with the sky behind it

One of nice things to see, dont miss it if you are there and not coming back to Mosco. Entrance is 2000 rubles, bit expensive for a foreigner compared to locals. Worth to see. If you have any an elderly person, be careful as there is a very narrow and high steeped stair to go to second floor.

Red Square is a historic landmark in Moscow, Russia, known for its iconic sites such as the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, and Lenin's mausoleum. While there are paid attractions within the Kremlin complex, the surrounding area offers free exploration opportunities including Kazan Cathedral and Aleksandrovsky Garden with its enchanting fountains. Visitors can also stroll through GUM shopping center and witness the change of guards at the Eternal Flame.
The Heart of Moscow – A Must-See Landmark! Red Square is absolutely breathtaking and a must-visit for anyone coming to Moscow. Surrounded by iconic landmarks like St. Basil’s Cathedral, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum, and the GUM department store, the square is rich in history and architectural beauty. The atmosphere is both grand and peaceful, especially in the evening when the buildings are beautifully lit. You can feel the weight of history here—from military parades to cultural celebrations. It’s also a great place for photos and just soaking in the energy of the city. Tip: Don’t miss the chance to grab a classic ice cream from GUM while enjoying the view—it’s a simple pleasure in a majestic setting!

Amazing Experience at Red Square, Moscow! Visiting Red Square was truly an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is full of history, culture, and beauty. Standing in the heart of Moscow, surrounded by the stunning Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the Kremlin walls, and the State Historical Museum, felt like stepping into a living postcard. The architecture is breathtaking, especially at sunset when the lights make the whole square glow beautifully. Everything is so clean, organized, and well-maintained. Street performers, local cafes, and friendly people add to the lively vibe. It’s not just a tourist spot — it’s the soul of Russia, where the past and present meet. I would highly recommend everyone to visit Red Square at least once in their lifetime!

The very heart of the city is a must visit - it’s alongside the Kremlin and comprises other interesting buildings like Gum, the Kremlin, St Basil’s Cathedral, Lenin’s mausoleum etc. There are sights to see and places to eat. You can spend the entire day here.
Natalie P — Google review
Walking through Red Square is an experience that goes beyond simple sightseeing; it is truly where the grandeur of Russian history and architecture culminates. The moment you step in, you are struck by the imposing red walls of the Kremlin on one side and the colorful, onion-shaped domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral on the other. The cathedral’s architecture is so vibrant and whimsical that it looks like something out of a fairytale, making every angle a postcard-perfect shot. I highly recommend visiting both during the day and at night. In the daylight, the intricate details and colors are stunning, while at night, the illuminations of the GUM department store and surrounding buildings create a magical, lively atmosphere perfect for an evening stroll. The square is vast with historic cobblestones, which add to the charm, but I strongly suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes to fully enjoy the walk. Access via the metro is very easy, and although it’s usually busy, the sheer size of the square prevents it from feeling too crowded. Visiting the beating heart of Moscow is an absolute must.

Art museum
The State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. Established in 1856 by Pavel Tretyakov, it started as a private collection and has now grown to over 180,000 pieces of Russian art. The gallery showcases the evolution of Russian art from medieval religious icons to contemporary works. It houses iconic pieces by renowned Russian artists such as Ivan Aivazovsky, Ilya Repin, and Viktor Vasnetsov.
Rainy day is a perfect day for art. This gallery is a place for inspiration for all art lovers. It’s vast and better plan spending 4-5 hours there. I took audio guide and was lost in time. Love it.
Nevena R — Google review
The Tretyakov Gallery is a true cultural treasure — a place where you can walk through centuries of Russian art under one roof. From iconic works by Repin and Vasnetsov to ancient icons and bold modernism, it’s a journey through the soul of the country. Well-organized, with calm halls and powerful energy. ➕ Unmatched collection of Russian art Beautiful building and well-curated exhibitions Easy to navigate and not overly crowded on weekdays Audio guides and descriptions in English available
Kristina T — Google review
Kramskoy, Vasnetsov, Serov, Repin, Savitsky—to name only a few—are represented in the Tretyakov Gallery, which offers an overwhelming feast for the eyes of art lovers. The museum displays countless masterpieces I had only read about: The Unknown Woman (often called the Russian Mona Lisa), Morning in a Pine Forest (Alenka chocolate wrappers), Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan, and a striking portrait of Pushkin, among others. After just 40 minutes, my mind was flooded with a surge of impressions and information. With 62 rooms to explore, this is clearly not a one-day museum. The entrance fee of 700 rubles is a bargain.
Kye — Google review
Very disappointing experience at the Tretyakov Gallery I visited the Tretyakov Gallery on September 25 and had a very disappointing experience. The website, the online tickets, and even the entrance signs all clearly stated that the museum would close at 9 PM. However, at 7:30 PM everyone was suddenly told to leave because of a private event — something that had never been announced anywhere. No one, not even the security staff, seemed to know about this early closure. The situation was handled poorly, and some staff were rude and unhelpful. It was also surprising that no one at the information desk spoke English in such a major international museum. Because of this, I had to completely change my travel plans and return the next day, buying new tickets and audioguides. Unfortunately, one of the main reasons for my visit — the famous Girl with Peaches — was not on display that day. Although I later received a refund for the first day’s tickets, the gallery’s response ignored the other issues I raised and fell far below my expectations.
Marco A — Google review
Art museums can sometimes feel overwhelming, filled with endless hallways and masterpieces you're not sure how to appreciate. But the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow was different. Stepping inside felt like stepping into a warm embrace of Russian art history. Maybe it was the way the chronological layout unfolded Russia's artistic journey, or perhaps the sheer passion for Russian culture that resonated from every canvas. One of the things that surprised me most was the sheer diversity of styles on display. From the deeply religious icon paintings of the early days to the bold strokes of the avant-garde, the Tretyakov Gallery showcased the evolution of Russian art in a way I hadn't seen before. But it wasn't just about the artistic movements. Certain paintings jumped out at me, leaving a lasting impression. The Appearance of Christ by Alexander Ivanov was the one of the iconic piece of the museum. The Tretyakov Gallery wasn't just a museum; it felt like a conversation with the soul of Russia. It allowed me to understand the country's history, culture, and emotions through the eyes of its greatest artists.

A very big gallery with great artwork (if you're a fan of it). You need at least a couple of hours to see all of it. The ticket is 500 rubbles for adults. But I'd recommend the Shimov gallery. Much more impressive.
Vasilis K — Google review
The State Tretyakov Gallery is a remarkable art museum that boasts an impressive collection of over 180,000 Russian works spanning multiple centuries. My first visit to this iconic institution was nothing short of inspiring. As a philatelist, I was already familiar with many of the paintings displayed here, having collected numerous stamps featuring artworks from the gallery. This connection made my experience even more special, as I was able to see these masterpieces in person for the first time. The gallery's layout is thoughtfully designed, allowing visitors to journey through the evolution of Russian art. From the early icons to the bold works of the 20th century, each piece tells a story and reflects the rich cultural heritage of Russia. I found myself captivated by the detailed brushwork and the emotions captured in each painting. The names of the artists, such as Ilya Repin and Ivan Shishkin, were not just words to me; they represented a deep-seated appreciation cultivated during my studies in art history at a young age. Moreover, the atmosphere of the gallery is steeped in history, which adds to its charm. Walking through the halls, I felt a profound connection to the past, as if the spirits of the artists lingered in the air. This gallery is not merely a collection of paintings; it is a testament to the creativity and resilience of the Russian people. In conclusion, my visit to The State Tretyakov Gallery was a deeply enriching experience that inspired me both as an art enthusiast and a collector. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to understand the essence of Russian art and culture.

The Moscow Kremlin

Mentioned on

Historical place
Museums
The Moscow Kremlin, also known as The Kremlin, is a massive fortified complex located in the heart of Moscow. Originally built as the tsar's residence, it now serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation. This historic site houses ancient churches used for royal ceremonies and various museums showcasing Russian state regalia and art. Visiting requires careful planning due to ticket logistics and entry requirements, but exploring over five centuries of history within its walls makes it all worthwhile.
A must visit place in Moscow having rich history and architectural value. It was great from outside as well but we took an inside tour as well. Inside there very many beautiful churches even dating back to 13th century. The churches have beautiful hand painted art on its walls and roof.
Zafar K — Google review
Beautiful place with a rich history, energized atmosphere, and incredible architecture. Highly recommend the tour of the inside of the Kremlin, where you can visit cathedrals dating back to the 13th century. Great place to be anytime during the day, but especially at night! (I would also advise making a stop at the eternal flame, which honors the loss of soldiers' lives in WWII).

Public Museum of the Moscow Metro

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Museum
Transportation
The Public Museum of the Moscow Metro offers a unique opportunity to explore the history and artistry of the city's underground transportation system. Serving as both a mode of transit and an underground museum, each station boasts distinct designs and artwork, making it a fascinating experience for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Since its opening in 1935 as the first underground railway system in the former Soviet Union, visitors can immerse themselves in the ambiance of a bygone era.
The Metro museum was not too easy to find, or at least not for me. On Google maps it looks like it is in the first floor of the Afimall City mall, but it’s not. It is under the mall right above the Vystanochnaya Metro stop. If you get off the metro at this stop, just look up and you will see a walkway on the upper floor. Make your way up there and you will see the entry to the museum. The Moscow Metro museum is not too bad for free. It has some interesting displays, but I was hoping for more information and pictures on how the tunnels were constructed. All-in-all, it is a good place to visit. Plan on about an hour here.

This is the wrong address and it’s very hard to find this museum. To make a long story short, you need to follow the signs to Vystavochnaya (выставочная) metro station. Right before the gates, you’ll see the museum. If you still can’t find it, show locals this photo and ask them for directions.

As others have explained and we sadly did not read about until to late, it would have saved us an hour in searching, the museum is in the Metro. Good place to see although very limited displays due to not having any space. Recommended on the way it has been created. Very informal and everything is in Russian. Dr Google gets a fail here in directions.

The church is adorned with intricate carvings and is located about an hour's drive south of Moscow, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It has become a favorite among visitors for its beautiful scenery and stunning architecture.

The ancient Znamenskaya Church in the Russian Baroque style will not leave anyone indifferent. It is an amazing monument of architectural architecture; it is called the pearl of the Moscow region. Unusual, mysterious, this is one of the most beautiful churches in Russia, with a gilded crown instead of a dome. The church in the ancient estate of Dubrovitsy, in which Prince Boris Golitsyn lived, was built at his expense in the 17th-18th centuries. The prince, who served as the tutor of the future sovereign Peter the Great, fell into disgrace with him and left for his estate. However, Peter soon cooled down, and as a sign of reconciliation, the prince, at his own expense, began the construction of an unusual church on the territory of his own estate. In 1704, construction was completed, and Peter the Great himself arrived at the consecration ceremony of the temple, standing and praying on a special balcony of the western ledge. This unique monument of Russian architecture is included in the list of world art treasures.

The Savvino-Storozhevskiy Monastery is a significant Russian Orthodox religious site boasting an impressive architectural design and featuring 15th-century altar frescoes. It is a popular destination for tourists visiting Moscow, but it's best to avoid weekends and church holidays to avoid large crowds. Visitors may have the opportunity to view the stunning panorama from the bell tower with permission from a monk.
Great place to spend at least half a day while visiting Zvenigorod. Beautiful scenery, history linked monastery, plenty of exhibition places, nice stylish canteen. Strongly recommend.
Ivan Y — Google review
On one of the most famous and largest streets in Moscow, the courtyard of the Zvenigorod Savvino-Storozhevsky monastery is hidden, built in a pseudo-Russian style with elements of modern and baroque. Previously, when walking in the center, it was hard not to notice one of the main decorations of Tverskaya, but in 1939 it was hidden from view. An interesting story is connected with its movement: the building, which weighed 24 tons, was moved deeper into the quarter at night - rails were laid under the foundation and smoothly transported to a new location. At the same time, the residents were not relocated and were not even specially warned. It is said that many of them discovered the change only in the morning, looking out of the window, and must have been very surprised at the unexpected move.
Santosh D — Google review
A must-see place for any tourist traveling around Moscow. But do not come here on weekends and church holidays, for crowds will ruin one's experience. If you are lucky, a monk may allow you to come up the bell tower. The view is magnificent. The sound is deafening.

This unique destination features an array of architectural styles along Mir Street, with themed hotels and restaurants representing regions from Russia and beyond, including Siberia, Japan, and Nepal.

There are themed hotels, restaurants, and exhibitions for each, as well as free excursions and paid workshops (pottery, soap making, candle dipping, e.t.c). Highly recommend for a few days in the summer or early autumn when the weather is nice. Good for families.

The museum offers an inspiring journey through the history of spaceflight, highlighting the pioneering achievements of Soviet and Russian cosmonauts. You'll see real spacecraft, space suits, and learn about the incredible lives and work of these brave individuals.

Brilliant museum and exhibition. Unfortunately, air condition was turned off and there were leaking in the new part in the left part of the window (with great view of nearby river). PS: the lack of air condition ruined our experience and we expect that it could ruin display items too. Hope that this issue will be fixed.

Nikola-Lenivets

Modern art museum
Nature & Parks
Nestled in the picturesque Kaluga Region, about 220 kilometers south of Moscow, Nikola-Lenivets is a unique blend of contemporary art and traditional Russian landscapes. This charming village is home to over 30 outdoor sculptures and installations that harmoniously integrate with the surrounding meadows and forests within Ugra National Park.
Abosolutely incredible place! Art objects everywhere in the forest, nice spot to chill, paint, spend time with friends, sleep inside fancy and beautiful small houses and eat some good food.
Giovanni M — Google review
It's a perfect place for rest of Moscow. You can accommodate there and spend more than one day, actually its necessity because of it's too far from Moscow to be there just for one day. Anyway, interesting art, timber structures, calm place, bad roads, but its a part of it. Definitely worth to see.
Martin T — Google review
A good place to visit if you are really into public art, but not worth driving all the way from Moscow. The infrastructure of the park has a lot of room to grow (updated maps, guides in foreign languages). However, the nature here truly is beautiful. The Ugra River, located south of the old church, is a great place to go for a swim in the summer.

Warning! There are the last 10 kilometers of the bad road, you cannot pass. Too many holes in asphalt. But the art is beautiful, strange, fantastic! Alien even. It is like "Burning Man" for poor people. (You know, 'we are not rich enough to burn our art; we are not rich enough to buy a trip to USA'.)
John S — Google review
The Nikola Lenivets art park is not something which pops up in a regular tour itinerary on a visit to Russia. More near to Kaluga than Moscow, it involves a bit of a drive, duration of which depends on where you stay in Moscow. It is possible to reach there by public transport but I was fortunate enough to have my friend and her brother give me a ride. (which was perfect because the place's a bit hard to find and you need to know Russian to ask for directions). The park is very widespread and covers the whole village of Nikola Lenivets including adjacent fields, woods, meadows and a river. There are various art installations all around from the midst of meadows to inside the woods. There is a vehicular road which goes through and around most of the park and there are dedicated parking lots near most larger exhibits. It's quite easy to explore the various areas of the park on foot from the parking lots. Cycles are available on rent but I won't recommend them unless you're absolutely at the peak of fitness because the roads are undulating and unpaved making the journey uncomfortable. There are lovely cottages to stay over along with dedicated camping grounds. Toilets although widely present are so so...some are modern and comfortable while others are like dry pits! Maps and tickets are available at the information centre, unfortunately only being in Russian. There are decent cafes and places for picnics and barbecues. I couldn't find any shop to buy souvenirs. On the whole it's a good place to visit although it's tough getting there on your own. And it is better to go when you are feeling completely well because it becomes tiring to explore the huge area when you're ill (personal experience).

Svyato Uspenskiy Kafedral'nyy Sobor G. Smolensk

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Orthodox church
Sights & Landmarks
Svyato Uspenskiy Kafedral'nyy Sobor G. Smolensk, also known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a significant religious site in Smolensk. Constructed at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, this cathedral holds historical and spiritual importance. Visitors describe it as a serene place for prayer and reflection, with its stunning interior and miraculous icon.
Beautiful! PS I'm an American.
Robert H — Google review
(Translated by Google) There were a lot of people on Christmas Day, so we looked at the interior decoration through the doors. The temple is visible from everywhere, because it stands on a mountain. The road to it in bad weather can be unpleasant for a pedestrian. Bolshaya Sobornaya Street is not that big, and every now and then people get splashed with mud by cars passing by. (Original) Людей в Рождество было море, поэтому посмотрели на внутреннее убранство через двери. Храм видно отовсюду, ибо стоит на горе. Дорога к нему в непогоду для пешехода может быть неприятной. Улица Большая Соборная не такая большая, и то и дело людей окатывают грязью проезжающие мимо машины.

(Translated by Google) The magnificent Assumption Cathedral is a real pearl of Smolensk. You can see it from afar, and when you get closer, you are struck by the scale and beauty of the architecture. It is very light and spacious inside, the atmosphere is peaceful. A separate plus is that there is a small shop on the territory where you can buy fresh bread for only 50 rubles. A great place to feel the spirit of the city and touch history. (Original) Великолепный Успенский собор — настоящая жемчужина Смоленска. Видно его издалека, а когда подходишь ближе, поражает масштаб и красота архитектуры. Внутри очень светло и просторно, атмосфера умиротворяющая. Отдельный плюс — на территории есть небольшая лавка, где можно купить свежий хлеб всего за 50 рублей. Отличное место, чтобы почувствовать дух города и прикоснуться к истории.

(Translated by Google) We visited Smolensk and definitely went to the Holy Dormition Cathedral. The Cathedral is very beautiful, captivates with its grandeur. But there is one "but". This is the observation deck behind the Cathedral. It is all overgrown with weeds, which in some places are higher than the waist. Thistle thorns cling to clothes. Why can't everything be mowed down and make a visit to the observation deck comfortable for tourists? (Original) Посетили Смоленск и обязательно зашли в Свято-Успенский собор. Собор очень красив, покоряет своим величием. Но есть одно «но». Это обзорная площадка за Собором. Вся поросла бурьяном, который местами выше пояса . Колючки чертополоха цепляются за одежду. Нежели нельзя все скосить и сделать посещение смотровой площадки комфортным для туристов

(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the cathedral of the Smolensk Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church. Located in the central part of the city of Smolensk on Cathedral Hill. Erected at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. An amazing place for the soul, where the Lord embraces you with his love! I like to come to the cathedral when there are not many people, I can calmly pray, turn to God, the Most Holy Theotokos, and the saints of God. You can venerate any icon with prayer and request; there are places where you can simply sit and breathe the spirit of the cathedral, this is especially important for elderly and sick people. Of course, on great holidays there is Grace everywhere, it’s just very crowded, you have to stand close together. Go enjoy God's house, its splendor and its beauty. Think about saving your soul!!! God bless you!!! (Original) Собо́р Успе́ния Пресвято́й Богоро́дицы — кафедральный собор Смоленской митрополии Русской православной церкви. Находится в центральной части города Смоленска на Соборной горе. Возведён на рубеже XVII и XVIII веков. Удивительное место для души, там Господь обнимает вас своей любовью! Люблю приходить в собор, когда немноголюдно, можно спокойно помолиться, обратится к Богу, Пресвятой Богородице, к Святым угодникам Божьим. Приложится к любой иконе с молитвой и просьбой, есть места где просто можно посидеть и подышать духом собора, особенно это важно для пожилых и больных людей. Конечно на великие праздники там Благодать везде и всюду, просто очень многолюдно, приходится стаять вплотную. Идите, наслаждайтесь домом Божьим, виличием и красотой. Думайте о спасении своей души!!! Божьей помощи вам!!!

Natalia E — Google review
(Translated by Google) The temple is majestic, unusually beautiful, gracious. The impression is spoiled by the "auntie", who imagined herself to be something, exalted at the table with a sign. She takes upon herself the right to decide some and not to confuse others to the icon. A backward bureaucrat, apparently. Well, if you have such an honor to turn the temple with flowers, then you should not sleep for long, do it in advance, do not take a sin on your soul not to let people near the icon before the holiday, you will be known as wretched in mind (Original) Храм величественный, необыкновенно красивый, благодатный. Впечатление портит "тетя", возомнившая из себя нечто, за столом с табличкой возвеличившаяся. Берет на себя право решать одних и не путать других к иконе. Отставшая чинуша, видимо. Уж, если вам честь такая обратить цветами храм, то не стоит долго спать, сделайте заранее, не берите грех на душу не пускать у иконе перед праздником, умом убогими прослывете

Old Town Café is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys delectable salads and casseroles. The recent restoration has only enhanced the beauty of this place. Additionally, they have undergone a change in name and menu, now offering delicious Thai cuisine. It is definitely worth trying their excellent food at prices comparable to those found in the old town. The chef's culinary skills are exceptional, as evidenced by the mouthwatering soups and the exquisite duck served on a bed of vegetables.

(Translated by Google) A revelation: quiet, slightly in front of the market square, i.e. peaceful, without overcrowding compared to what's happening in the restaurants on the market square, and most importantly, delicious food for reasonable money, with a nice atmosphere and wonderful service. I was there twice during my stay in Zamosc, once alone because I was the only one hungry, the rest had eaten at a pierogi shop earlier, which I didn't like, and I ate salmon soup and pork chop with fries and salads, I left feeling as full as a beetle and everything was fresh and delicious in a few days. again we were wondering what to eat and where, so I took my family to this particular restaurant, everyone left full, we didn't spend a fortune, it was delicious and nice, again I ate salmon soup, I really recommend it, it was a finger licking sensation, and the kids had chicken soup, spaghetti and pancakes, and my wife and everyone had dumplings with groats. satisfied and everyone liked it. If we are ever in Zamość again, we will definitely come for dinner. Greetings ladies from Old Town Cafe (Original) Rewelacja: cicho, lekko przed rynkiem czyli spokojnie bez przeludnienia w porównaniu z tym co dzieje sie w restauracjach na rynku a co najważniejsze pyszne jedzonko za rozsądne pieniążki okraszone miła atmosferą i cudną obsługą. Byłem tam 2 razy podczas pobytu w Zamosciu raz sam bo tylko ja byłem głody reszta jadła wczesniej w pierogarni co mi nie odpowiadało a jadłem zupke z łososia oraz schabowy z frytami i surówki palce lizac wyszedłem objedzony jak bąk i wszystko było swieże i pyszne za kilka dni znów zastanwialiśmy sie co zjeść i gdzie wiec zabrałem rodzinke do tej właśnie restauracji każdy wyszedł najedzony, majątku nie wydaliśmy było pysznie i miło znów jadłem zupke z łososia naprawde polecam no rewelacja palce lizac a dzieciaki rosół, spagetti i naleśniki, żonka zaś pierogi z kaszą każdy zadowolony i wszystkim smakowało.

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. It is the result of a great fire which broke out in the 19th century. No matter what it is nowadays beautiful as well especially during early morning or evening.

(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.

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.
Witold C — Google review
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.

Tadeusz J — Google review
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

Beautiful nature, forests and river ! We went for a family trip with 2 kids. We preffered biking rather then rafting.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego is situated on the grounds of the former Rakowice-Czyzyny Airport just outside Krakow. The museum features a wide array of historic aircraft, helicopters, gliders, engines, and missiles that narrate the story of aviation history. It houses significant military and civil aircraft from Poland and various other countries worldwide, including a captivating collection from the First and Second World Wars.

Any Aviation or history lover MUST come here. The one of a kind WW1 planes collection can only be found here in the entire world. Their collection of planes and exhibits are extremely unique and worth making time in your trip to krakow. Staff are friendly, tickets are cheap, and the museum is well kept.

Being a fan of aviation, I really wanted to visit the Museum so I'm really happy I got to do it during our little trip to Kraków! It's such a huuuuuuge museum with an immense airplanes and helicopters on display in hangars and outside, I couldn't believe my eyes at how much planes there were! (seemed endless!!) The tickets are really low for such a good quality museum and such a long visit! (it took us 2h/2h30 as we walk fast) however the lady at the ticket office was not really polite.. nor the one at the museum's shop (responded briefly and in a dry way when asked if she spoke english...). I really enjoyed my visit, I translated for my mother who doesn't speak English so she could appreciate it as much as I did. We also loved the exhibitions, very informative and interesting. I wish we had a guided visit as I saw on panels that to get inside 2 really big airplanes we had to be on a guided tour for that.. (was really sad we couldn't get in like we did on the helicopter on the scheduled time).

The best aircraft museum I’ve been too! Loads of cool aircraft to see and many different exhibits. Probably 100+ aircraft outside and there’s no fence so you can go up to them and walk all round them!

One of the best Aviation Museums I've had the pleasure of visiting! You could easily spend an entire day visiting the vast collection! It's mainly military aircraft which span 100+ years of aviation history with a mix of Allied, Axis, NATO & Soviet aircraft from WW1 through to the end of the Cold War, there is a retired LOT Polish Airlines Tupelov TU-134 airliner, but its in a bit of a state, hope it gets a restoration eventually! Totally worth coming to, even if you're not mad on planes!
Jett T — Google review
It was really great seeing the variety of aircrafts, including vintage war planes. I had always wondered what happened to them, so it was cool learning about their history. The place is massive, and you'll need to walk a lot to see everything, so if you're not into long walks or history, it might not be your thing. But overall, I enjoyed it
Gift O — Google review
A gorgeous, very interesting place, undeservedly deprived of attention. We were there on a free day and there were very few visitors. A large park of airplanes in the open air, many hangars of various equipment from different eras and countries. Polite staff, interactive exhibits.

Slovak Paradise National Park

National park
Nature & Parks
Slovak Paradise National Park is a vast natural area featuring a lake and an extensive network of hiking trails that wind through stunning canyons, waterfalls, and serene forests. The park's rocky plateaus, ancient woodlands, and intertwining streams offer some of Slovakia's most picturesque terrain for hiking. Treks often involve navigating metal ladders and footbridges above cascading waterfalls. Visitors are rewarded with breathtaking views of cliffs, forests, mist-filled valleys, and lush meadows.
Wonderful area with very varied landscapes, a lot of hiking routes, a lake and amazing flora and fauna. During the week, in quiet times, one can observe wild animals and lots of birds. The premises of the lake are clean and the trails are amazing. It's an awesome spot for nature explorations.
Cinty I — Google review
Great place for hike. All roads interconnect so you can start on blue, go through green and end up on yellow which leads to a very granular way of choosing difficulty. Ladders are great although some people may get stuck on them which leads to huge queues. Parking is 5€ for whole day so nothing to worry about. Most places accept card payment also above 5€.

We drove quite a distance to do Sucha Bela and I would have driven even more it was amazing. What a special park. Camping at the bottom was GORGEOUS and the ladders throughout Sucha Bela was so unique and amazing I feel blessed to have experienced it.

We went on the Suchá Belá trek on a sunday afternoon in early May. The weather was ideal, the temperature stayed lower in the canyons. It's not physically challenging, but there are many ladders where people with vertigo could have problems. Overall it's a great experience. We could finish the up and down in 3.5 hours by going at a good pace,but not running of course.

Lovley place, we went on the last day of our stay so only could experience a small fraction of what was on offer. We went around the Palcmanská Maša lake, it’s about a 12k walk all around and was mostly flat, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants and also a waterfall on the walk. Hidden gem

Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory

Mentioned on 
+97 other lists 
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.

An excellent museum that covers the entire lived history of the Jews in Krakow during the Nazi regime, the emergence of Oskar Schindler and his amazing role in saving thousands of them. Excellent displays, wonderful recreations and maps and documents. Very poignant. Very good.

A must visit. Get here early, as there was a queue at opening. The permanent exhibition is great, and you go around the actual factory. If you remember the film, you'll see the iconic entrance/ staircase. Ignore the website about ticket availability and the sign on the door. Worth the queue time.
Tom W — Google review
A must see , made better by watching the fantastic Schindler's List to get an additional appreciate of events. Tour guide (via Get Your Guide) was informative and knowledgeable. Earphones provided with this program and skip the queue also, as your booked in at a certain Time
Emmet507 — Google review
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.

Terma Bania is a large water park complex that offers both indoor and outdoor thermal pools, saunas, steam rooms, and spa facilities. It is now accessible with the same ski pass and has been fully integrated with runs and lifts for the 2019 season. The complex features various pool areas suitable for couples, families, or friends to relax and have fun. Additionally, there are amenities such as a cafe, bar, restaurant, water slides, games, and designated play areas for children.
Bring your own flip flops. Towels are 15PLN each or free if you have sauna zone. Spa area is divided into fun, relax and sauna. There is a sauna in the relax zone. Sauna zone is mixed gender and is naked only. Could see people weren’t comfortable with this and staff shouting at you to take your clothes off isn’t appropriate. Relax zone was really good and had a quiet area and also a bar area. Water is really warm and pleasant to spend a long time in. The whole facility is clean and never felt overcrowded. Fun zone has some cool water slides and wave machines etc Better to book online in advance to save a bit of money. Drinks at the bar were also reasonably priced. Taxi to/from Zakopane was 150 PLN

Love this place! I researched all the other thermal baths in the area, and we chose this one because it looked like the best overall option for our family (2 adults, 2 kids). We visited on a Monday from 1400-1630 (Fun + Relax) and a Thursday from 0900-1200 (Fun zone only). Monday afternoon wasn’t too crowded, and Thursday 0900-1000 was nicely empty, but then huge school groups came in and it was too crowded. We enjoyed the circular rivers and the outdoor pools, as well as the big slides and the attractions for little kids. We obviously enjoyed it enough to come back!

A Perfect Place – Thermal Baths This spot is perfect for couples, families with kids, and more. There are hot water pools, wave pools, and both small and big slides, including fast ones and even a tube slide you can ride solo or as a pair. There are also outdoor facilities, though I didn’t use them since it was cold, but they looked promising. The place is well-equipped with lockers, showers, changing rooms, and even hair dryers. Around the pools, you’ll find a restaurant and a bar located inside the outdoor pool. Payment is super convenient with a wristband you get upon entry—you just pay for everything at the end. One thing to note: on weekdays, the minimum ticket is for 3.5 hours, while on weekends it’s 2.5 hours. You can, of course, pay extra if you’d like to stay longer.

It is overcrowded on weekends, too many people, you can not get any sunbed to rest, they are all occupied with other people's towels. It is also crowded in the pools, you barely move among other people trying to find a free space to stay and realax...i reccomend to buy ticket online, it will be cheaper and you will not queue as there is a separate counter for those with online tickets

One of the best Thermal baths I've ever visited. I've been there twice, once with an Erasmus+ project, and once with my family. Both visits were wonderful. Everything is clean, and in perfect condition. The food is not that expensive, and also good. I totally recommend it for every age, from toddlers up to elderly people. Everyone can find a place there for themselves. If you want to rest, or you want to get some adrenaline while sliding, it's your place in this region.

Main pools totally rammed with people, not a single lounger free and every tiny space filled to capacity. We paid extra and went to over16's sauna area which was bit better but had a bunch of rules that nobody explained including being naked in all sauna/steam rooms. If your expecting natural thermal springs, or anything like the photos its not. Its Centre Parks with a gazillion people jammed inside. Zakopane nice town for a wander. Our guide was sweet and did his best.
Nigel P — Google review
I have mixed feelings about Terma Bania. It would have been a lovely experience if it hadn’t been so incredibly overcrowded. I’ve seen other people’s photos where they’ve described it as busy, but this was far worse. It probably didn’t help that the other main thermal baths in the area were closed for cleaning this week, so everyone seemed to end up here. I went in with fairly realistic expectations, knowing it was more of a family water park than a tranquil spa, which was just as well because it was about as relaxing as a motorway service station on a bank holiday. That said, the facilities were clean and well looked after, and the water itself was lovely... so warm, clear, and full of different zones to explore. The views across to the mountains were absolutely beautiful and made it all feel worth it for a while. I’m really glad I experienced it once, but I probably wouldn’t go back unless it was at a much quieter time of year.

Morskie Oko

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Lake
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Morskie Oko, the largest and fourth-deepest lake in the Tatra Mountains, offers stunning views amidst its tree-ringed surroundings. Hiking enthusiasts can embark on an approximately 5-6 hour trail to reach this picturesque destination, starting from Kosciuszki bus station and taking a bus to Palenica Bialczanska before walking along an 8km road.
Morskie Oko is the most beautiful lake in the Polish Tatras and in 2014 The Wall Street Journal recognized it as one of the five most beautiful lakes in the world. Distance from Palenica Białczańskiego car parking to Morskie Oko Lake is 9 km. One option is to either walk on the asphalt road which takes around 3 hrs or another one is a horse-drawn carriage till Włosienica from where Morkie Oko is 1.5 km. There are few spots in between for refreshments and toilets. In peak summer months it is crowded but still worth the visit.
NATURE'S D — Google review
It's a good place to visit. Stunning views, lots of toilets and clean water sources all on the way. You have a pub and cafe on the top and in a few places by the road. All the way takes about 2.5 hours if you take breaks. Even kids are going. I've gotten a little bit upset by the amount of people going on top. Probably I was there in the middle of the season, at the peak time. You cannot launch a drone here, because it's a national park. Swimming and walking out of the path is forbidden, which kills all the adventure vibe. A lot of people are going here from all around the world, but if you want a meditative place and solitude with nature, it's definitely not for you. The road is easy and suitable for anyone at any age. You also can take a horse ride for 100PLN up to the top to get there faster. Views are stunning!

The hike to Morskie Oko is barely a hike — the “trail” is actually a smooth, paved road. It’s about 8 km long and takes roughly an hour and a half to walk. The lake itself is stunning, especially later in the day or later in the season when the crowds have thinned out.

Overcrowded (near 500 or maybe more people in business day) You will spend approximately one or two hours just waiting in the line The lake is okay, but honest recommendation - search another locations (I‘m sure that you definitely find something else and much better not far away from Krakow or in the Tatry area)

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).
