Lietuvos etnografijos muziejus

Museum
History Museums
Open-air museum showcasing local customs & culture, with folk performances & hands-on workshops.
Lithuanian Ethnographic Museum (Lietuvos Etnografijos Muziejus) – an absolute gem for anyone who loves culture, history, and immersive travel! 🌾🇱🇹 This place is a solid 10/10 – no exaggeration. You can easily spend the whole day here (or even longer), wandering across a vast area filled with traditional wooden houses, windmills, barns, and workshops from different regions of Lithuania. Everything is arranged with incredible attention to detail, and the interiors feel like they’re frozen in time – some even dating back 300 years. What makes this museum special is that you don’t just look – you interact. You can step inside the buildings, touch the tools, see how everyday objects like flour or pottery were made in the past. It’s one of the most hands-on, open-air museums I’ve ever visited – perfect for families, history buffs, photographers, or anyone who wants to feel like they’ve stepped into a Witcher-style world. There are also taverns and food stalls on-site where you can taste authentic Lithuanian cuisine – highly recommend the cepelinai (potato dumplings filled with meat and topped with crispy bacon) and craft kvass (“GIRA” – an easy 10/10!). The entire museum is laid out like a miniature version of Lithuania, with different ethnographic regions represented – so it feels like a cultural road trip within one location. It’s clean, well-maintained, and incredibly atmospheric. The vibe is seminarium to the "witcher"

We visited this place on 26th January, on the last Sunday of the month so we did not pay the entrance ticket. The area is very big and they also turn on the lights of attractions when the sun sets. You can easily spend the entire day here. My suggestion is to come here when winter ends since all the houses were closed and there were no animals. Also, there was only one cafe open, Arbatine. We had a very nice day in the nature, and we will surely come back on summer, when the place can offer the most. PS: The right address is L. Lekavičiaus gatvė 2 Rumšiškės and not 2 J. Aisčio gatvė, where there is only the administration office.
Luca C — Google review
A great place to visit! Very well organized, with a large area perfect for walking – you can easily spend the whole day here. In the town section some points are open where you can buy things, so it’s good to bring some cash. There’s a post office, a craftsman demonstrating traditional work, a restaurant (cards accepted), and a shop with local products like honey. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful place! Don’t think of it as a museum, but as a beautiful, enormous, gorgeous natural park. It’s wonderful! So much nature, it’s breathtaking. It was free today (Sunday) and we only payed 2 euros for parking (license plate scanning). There are toilets at the entrance. The souvenir shop was closed as it was Sunday, I suppose, and I couldn’t see anywhere to eat, so maybe bring some snacks and water. You can also get to the observation tower. We wished we had more time here, you can spend hours exploring and enjoying nature!

Every house is polished with fine garden. You can rest and get a cafe too. We start at 14 and leave at 19 and see less than half. I suggest get a picnic set and go there from morning.

This is super interesting to check out. Bring a lot of time and pick a dry day. There is a lot of walking required for this, but it is worth it. There are buildings from all over Lithuania, most of them can be walked though fully equipped with furniture and all in very good shape. I liked the town center the most, there were some things to do. The viewing tower might need an update some time soon.

Kaunas Town Hall

Mentioned on 
+53 other lists 
City Hall
Neighborhoods
Kaunas Town Hall, a stately 16th-century building located in the heart of the old town, is currently undergoing renovation. Despite this, visitors can still enjoy exploring the historic center and its landmarks. The surrounding area offers attractions such as Confluence Park (Santakos parkas), Kaunas Castle, and various museums. The charming cobbled streets are lined with cafes, restaurants, and bars to discover. The old town also features small local museums and churches to explore.
Very interesting museum, including whole history of Kaunas, from middle ages, through Communism to twenty first century. Highly recommended for all tourists visiting Kaunas :3
Andzio — Google review
Kaunas Town Hall is a must-visit if you’re exploring Lithuania’s second-largest city! Known as the “White Swan” for its elegant architecture, this historic building sits in the heart of Kaunas Old Town. It has served many purposes over the centuries—city hall, prison, and even a wedding venue! Today, it houses the Kaunas City Museum, where you can learn about the city’s rich history. Take a stroll around the charming square, grab a coffee at a nearby café, and soak in the atmosphere of this beautiful and lively spot!

The Kaunas Town Hall is a beautiful and impressive building – a real highlight in the heart of the Old Town. The architecture is elegant, and the surrounding square is full of charm and history. It’s a great spot for photos and a nice place to sit and take in the atmosphere. Unfortunately, during our visit, the building was under renovation, so we couldn’t fully enjoy or explore it. It’s understandable that maintenance is necessary, but it was a bit disappointing not to see it in its full glory. Still, it’s a lovely landmark and definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Kaunas – hopefully next time without scaffolding!

Kaunas Castle

Mentioned on 
+89 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Kaunas Castle is a medieval fortress that offers art and historical exhibitions, cultural events, and guided tours. The castle hosts outdoor exhibitions of various works by international artists and showcases photography galleries. Visitors can also take walking city tours to explore the center and Old Town of Kaunas, including historical and architectural monuments like St. George's Church, the Theological seminary courtyard, Town Hall Square, baroque churches, and more.
It’s worthy to see this castle - after all, it is a symbol of the city! Inside there is a museum - price is low (for student 2€), but exhibits are not interesting. There is a view of the city from there - the free one is better, but remember that in Kaunas you can find better places for this, for example the Alexota funicular.
Alicja W — Google review
Kaunas Castle is a wonderful place for a walk. In the evening it’s beautifully lit, which makes the atmosphere really charming. The whole area felt very safe, and I also noticed there are surveillance cameras nearby, which adds to the feeling of security. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Kaunas!

Kaunas Castle is a beautiful and historic spot right in the heart of the city. The red-brick fortress looks amazing, and the museum inside gives a nice glimpse into Kaunas’ past. The area around it is great for a walk, with lovely river views and a calm atmosphere. Staff are friendly, and there are often cool events or festivals happening nearby. Definitely worth a visit!
Jack F — Google review
A very nice castle, but quite small once you get inside and with status you need to be careful as they are quite steep and you will need to wait for people or to go upstairs or downstairs as you can do both at the same time as it’s quite narrow. Worth a visit tho. The prices for tickets is ok too £4 for adult, but for students, kids, retired and disabled people gets it’s cheaper or does not pay at all which is nice.
Indy R — Google review
Nice little exposition,well restored old castle,loved the dungeon prison part,great view from top level of the tower.Small but interesting museum,stairs at the tower are steep and narrow but there is another wider exilt on level two.Would recommend to spend couple hours exploring castle and surrounding old wall grounds.

9th Fort of the Kaunas Fortress

Mentioned on 
15 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The 9th Fort of the Kaunas Fortress, originally built by the Russian Tsar in the 1800s, has a haunting history as a Nazi execution site during World War II. It now stands as a museum and memorial to the 50,000 Lithuanians and Jews who lost their lives there. The massive monument erected on the site serves as a solemn reminder of this tragic past.
Definitely worth a visit. Monemument and information regarding mass killings is sobering but presented respectfully. Information inside the exhibit is thorough and well worth while spending the time to read. Available in both Lithuanian and English.

We took a bus from Kaunas Centre here it was €1 and took about 30 minutes. As you arive there is a coffee machine at the carpark (there is no cafe or shop to get food here) it is a short pavedcwalk up to the main museum €8 Euros to go in to the Museum was well work it. There is so much to see inside. Well thought out displays and installations. Was history and so.e very thought provoking displays. Everything is displayed in Lithuanian and English. You can walk around the outside area for free. 100% recommended this for a visit 2-3 hrs would do it justice to see Everything!

Beautiful place marked by history. The fort has a very interesting museum and the exterior, including the monument, is a sacred place. I recommend going in the spring season to see all the vegetation in bloom, seemingly in contrast with the history written here.
Cristiano I — Google review
If you want to understand something of the history of the region in the 20th century, this fortress gives a good overview. I had no idea that the Lithuanians continued to resist the Soviet occupation well into the 1950s. If you go by bus, remember to press the stop button before you reach the stop. I didn't and ended up a mile or two in the wrong direction.

Saint Cathedral of the Apostles Peter and Paul

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Saint Cathedral of the Apostles Peter and Paul, located in Siauliai, Lithuania, is a significant historical and architectural landmark. Dating back to the 17th century, this cathedral showcases a blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Its richly decorated arches and columns on the front facade are truly captivating.
Very interesting catholic church, which was partly destroyed during wars, but now reconstructed. Our visit target was to see church tower. Lucky, we were on the right time when lithuanian tourist group was there and guide allowed us to join them. Unfortunately, guide talking only in lithuanian language, but thanks to one girl, who was translating partly guide story. Tower climb starts with very old rock stairs, then comes reconstructed part with steel stairs. Up in the tower, placed a lot of bells. Big ones, and more than 20 smaller bells, which are unique and sings in different tonalities. Nice view over yhe city.
Aivis S — Google review
The Siauliai Cathedral is one of the buildings that survived the bombing of the city during two World Wars. Children noticed the bell tower as a rocket from afar. They look harmonious with the building. The cathedral is a worthy decoration of the city. It looks great in contrast with the cloudy sky. There are Soviet soldiers' burials nearby. No one is going to move it.

Rūtos Chocolate Museum

Mentioned on

Museum
Cafeteria
"“Rūtos” šokolado muziejus" is a renowned venue that offers a blend of history exhibits, a modern restaurant, and a dessert shop. Located in the central part of the city within the century-old Ruta candy factory building, it was opened in 2012 to commemorate the factory's 99th anniversary. Visitors can savor delicious coffee, various desserts, and impressive chocolate bubble desserts at the café.
We had tour + workshop on weekend. Tour was interesting with mini video at the end 1 hour is enough to check everything. Workshop was very fun and delicious, highly recommend this activity!
Gabriele N — Google review
The museum is not big, very compact. The exhibits tell how and where cocoa beans grow, the biology of plants, the history of chocolate and the factory itself. At the entrance you have a tasty ticket - a small chocolate bar. You answer questions when you get acquainted with the museum exposition and at the exit you receive a chocolate prize. The children, and then we, enjoyed watching a film about the chocolate factory. The museum offers workshops and tastings. The museum staff is deeply in love with chocolate and is happy to share their love and warmth with us. What is created not only for profit lives a long and beautiful life. In the shop on the 1st floor we bought a sweet gift for a visit, a bar of pink chocolate for ourselves to enjoy and sets of small chocolates. And in the coffee shop across the street we tried chocolate, "according to the recipe" of American Indians. No sugar, also spices and almost the standard of bitterness. And our son - milk with marshmallow.
Olga A — Google review
Chocolate museum that does a lot more than I expected. I love the fact that you receive a questionnaire that you need to fill out in order to win a prize. I did! This is a great idea as it involves you in the exploration process. The museum itself is just a single floor with history and general information about chocolate. On the first floor there is a cafe and a shop for you to enjoy their products.
DMINATOR — Google review
Very interesting! Rūta is a popular brand of chocolate in Lithuania with a very interesting and longstanding history. When visiting the museum you get a card with questions to answer, kind of like a treasure hunt, with chocolates (of course) as a reward if you do well. The history of the brand is very interesting and the presentation of it is very well done. We learned a lot! Of course there is a souvenir shop where they sell a wide variety of Rūta chocolates, including the new Ruby chocolate, which is pinkish in color but not fruit flavoured as the colour might lead you to believe. We highly recommend visiting! 🍫❤️

Great museum, shop and cafe, 3 in 1 place. The museum is not large, but quite affordable and really educates you, and also there is quiz given by staff (you receive reward in the end) which makes you learn and search for information. The chocolate itself is very good, I did not expect it to be that good and prices in the shop are very affordable. Also do not miss hot chocolate in the Cafe, the taste is superb and very rich.
Aleksandrs F — Google review
Can't really say how was Rutos Chocolate Museum. Very eagerly we approached the museum with kids after 6pm, only to be told that we can't enter the museum anymore. And quote - "it's not interesting to kids anyway". Museum hours online as well as on the actual museum door lists closing time 7pm. So very big disappointment. Museum exists, but they're not expecting anyone to visit it. In fact, they turn down visitors when someone tries to visit. 😂 It would be funny if our kids weren't so disappointed. Oh well. One star for a museum that exists but doesn't expect visitors.

Crosing the bridge named after Prussian queen Louise (1776–1810) to Sovetsk (Russian: Сове́тск), before 1946 known as TilsiT, Lithuanian: Tilžė; Polish: Tylża; German: Tilsit) in East Prussia, a town in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the south bank of the Neman River. The Treaties of Tilsit were signed here in July 1807, the preliminaries of which were settled by the emperors Alexander I of Russia and Napoleon I of France on a raft moored in the Neman River. This treaty, which created the Kingdom of Westphalia and the Duchy of Warsaw, completed Napoleon's humiliation of the Kingdom of Prussia, when it was deprived of one half of its dominions. (And yes, it takes sometime/hours to cross the border, take it easy 😎)

Crossing by land route from Lithuania into the Russian exclave Kaliningrad (Königsberg) this former Prussian border gate in the East of the German Empire ("Reichsgrenze") is an outstanding piece of historic heritage. Before 1945 one had to cross eastwards in order to get into Russia. Since 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union, travelers have to cross westwards in order to visit Russia

WWII museum including dioramas & a complex of German bunkers built between 1940 and 1944.
It was a positive surprise! I have been to other locations but here you have the possibility to visit bunkers that have not been destroyed. The museum has several pieces of history, nice to be able to touch some stuff and feel it. It's a place that is worth a visit. Had to remove some pictures, since they violated the Google policy.

This place is like Wolf's lair but better. Part of bunkers are inside of the forest, which adds certain atmosphere to them. Plus, there is a souvenir store, where you can buy gas masks. There are also small museum, huge watch tower and shooting range, where you shoot from air guns.

Lothar M — Google review
Quite a disappointing experience overall. The site is in 3 parts, with the museum and the recreation of the Amber Room being the most interesting. The second part is a few dimly-lit and very wet bunkers of little or no interest. The last part is on the other side of the road and consists of one giant bunker, and four smaller ones, one of which was a power station. The advertising suggested that there were 300 bunkers to be visited, and that is clearly not the case. The 300 bunker layout could probably be seen from the very high observation tower, but as there is no lift, it's not available for the less able. In conclusion, it's probably worth a visit from the historical aspect, but do not expect to be excited by your visit.

Nice place to visit if you're into WWII bunkers. The ones in Mamerki were not destroyed, so you can explore them from the inside. But don't expect fully equipped, operational WWII bunkers. Bring a flashlight and be prepared for damp conditions.

Wolf's Lair

Mentioned on 
+6 other lists 
Open air museum
Sights & Landmarks
Wolf's Lair, also known as Wolfsschanze, is a significant historical site located in the Polish Lake District Mazury near the small settlement of Gierloz. This was Adolf Hitler's headquarters from 1941 to 1944 and played a crucial role in commanding the armies during the conquest of the USSR. The complex consisted of approximately 200 buildings including bunkers, barracks, airfields, a railway station, power plant, water supply system and more.
Amazing experience. Yes, the buildings are mainly ruins, but you can see so much. I highly recommend going on your own and not getting a tour guide because you have all the time you want to see around places, and you move at your own pace. You can get an audio tour in a few languages if you'd like. There's a gift and coffee shop and also a restaurant where you can rest after some hours of walk. It's pets friendly as long as they are on the leash. I would definitely visit again.

Curonian Spit

Mentioned on

Peninsula
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Curonian Spit, a 98-km sandspit along the Baltic Sea, is a popular holiday destination known for its beaches and resort towns. The area offers scenic cycling routes through pine forests, medieval castles, and deserted beaches. Nida, famous for its amber jewelry and home to the iconic Parnidis dune, provides breathtaking views of the Neringa sands and the sea. This UNESCO World Heritage site is perfect for both relaxation and active leisure activities with pets.
Between Cranz (Russia) and Smiltynė (Lithuania) stretches over 98 km one of the most special nature reserves in Europe: the Curonian Spit. A spit is a long sand spit that (partially) blocks off a part of the sea, in this case the Curonian Lagoon is blocked off from the Baltic Sea. The Curonian Spit was formed in the 5th millennium BC, the narrow sand spit, the width varies from 380m to 3800 m, is mainly covered with pine trees. The area is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer months, attractions include the artists' village of Nida, the Witches' Hill in Juodkrantė and the two dune areas. In order to protect nature, the Curonian Spit National Park was established in 1991. In 2000, the entire spit became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and rightly so, because the Curonian Spit is definitely worth a trip!
Koen — Google review
Might be unique wonder of nature, but human touch (ferry service capacity from and to mainlaind) makes the experience of getting there uniquely painful and nightmarish. 5 hours(!!) waiting in car at the ferry terminal (back and forth) to have 2 hours in the Sea museum (as there was no time left for anything else). All thumbs down for (de)organized logistics here.
Gusts K — Google review
This is how I imagine heaven! Ideal place for a biking trip, as there are high-quality bike roads, plenty of cafes and restaurants, and many nice places to stop all along the peninsula. We took a ferry, then a trip by bus from Smiltyne to Nida, where we rented a bike and rode to Juodkrante (approx. 30 km). Visited Vecerkrugas dune, Preila, did some bird watching near Karvaiciai, then a short walk in Pervalka, a hike to Dead Dunes, spent some time at a beach near Juodkrante, and had a great dinner and a walk around Juodkrante, back to Smiltyne by bus, then ferry back to Klaipeda. Wonderful, relaxing experience!

This 40-foot sundial stands atop the Parnidis Dune, one of the scenic highlights of Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site shared by Lithuania and Russia. Built in 1995, the sundial was damaged by a hurricane a few years later and rebuilt in 2011. It accurately tells time by creating shadows on the steps, with notches for hours and half hours, as well as months, equinoxes, and solstices. March 20 marks the spring (or vernal) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning that for the next six months daylight hours will outlast nighttime darkness. When it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere, those of us above the equator are tilted away from the sun, giving us shorter days and longer nights. In summer, we're tilted toward the sun, but the equinox is right in between. It's the moment during Earth's annual revolution around the sun when its axis is neither tilting away nor tilting toward the sun, giving everyone on the planet an equal split of day and night. This phenomenon happens twice a year—in March and again in September. In the Southern Hemisphere, everything's flipped. There, it's the autumnal equinox today — and, yes, winter is coming.

Was very disappointed, there where sign's all over the place saying keep off sand dunes before I got onto the beach then I walked onto the beach and there was no sand and only a puddle of water. I was ready to go the the beach and everything. I brought my beach chair and sunscreen and just wanted a nice peaceful day at the beach but there was no beach for me to be at.

Dancing Forest

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Hiking area
Nature & Parks
Forests
The Dancing Forest is a well-known hiking destination located on the sandy Curonian Spit. The area boasts of an unusual sight - pine trees growing in unique, spiral shapes that are caused by the strong winds and sand erosion. These peculiar forms have resulted from young pine trees being buried and beaten over time, particularly during the period when Germans tested water airplanes there. While it is a great place for a romantic walk, its popularity leads to crowding at times.
It is very crowded, and you can barely explore :( Only place you can walk is the path — cannot diverge even a little bit. Hugging trees also forbidden lol ;) The smell in this place is amazing, rich of pine. Many tourists but I would still recommend.
Mary P — Google review
Dancing Forest is interesting occurrence of wood by the deformation on the ground caused by specific type of butterfly lives there.

You can see pine trees there with different shapes. It IS caused by winds and sand beating and burying young pine trees. Especially when germans builted and tested water airoplaines there long time ago.

A wildly popular spot frequented mostly by the local tourists. Instead of useless souvenir kiosks they should make a proper paved parking and build some normal lavatories! Roaming around the trees is not allowed, but the locals often just don't care..

Trees are shaped due to hazardous gas left in tankers under ground by Germans at the end of WW II. This was said at the excursion. Don't know if it's true. Can check it if anyone is interested

If you have heard of the mystery of the amber room that missed during warld war 2, you would definitely be moved, because there is the exhibition of the room that restorated.

Königsberg Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+38 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Königsberg Cathedral, a stunning example of Brick Gothic architecture, stands proudly on Kneiphof Island in Kaliningrad, Russia. Originally constructed in the 14th century as a place of worship for the Prince-Bishops of Samland, this magnificent structure has endured the test of time and was meticulously rebuilt after sustaining damage during World War II. The cathedral is not only dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St.
It is a Brick Gothic-style monument in Kaliningrad and is the most significant preserved building of the former city of Königsberg, which was largely destroyed in World War II. The construction was completed in 1380. Although it was heavily damaged in World War II, it has since been restored afterward. It is the largest brick church in the Baltic region and has three towers, and a 700-pipe organ (one of the largest in Russia). The interesting fact about it is that It is the burial place of Immanuel Kant, the famous philosopher and his statue is in the cathedral as well. There are lots of interactive parts inside the exhibition about Kant, for example in one part you can ask any question from him, and he'll answer you! If you are interested in learning more about the history of Königsberg or the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, then a visit to the cathedral is a must.
Maryam K — Google review
Dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Adalbert of Prague, it was built as the see of the Prince-Bishops of Samland in the 14th century. Upon the establishment of the secular Duchy of Prussia, it became the Lutheran Albertina University church in 1544. The spire and roof of the cathedral burnt down after two RAF bombing raids in late August 1944. Kaliningrad was to be rebuilt as a model town on the remains of Königsberg, with no reminders of its German past left standing. The ruins of the castle were periodically dynamited over the next several years, with the last remnants destroyed in 1968 on Leonid Brezhnev's personal orders. The ruins of the nearby Königsberg Cathedral, which included the tomb of Immanuel Kant, were left standing, and, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, were rebuilt and restored in the late 1990s and early years of the 21st century.

Being in Kaliningrad you have to visit this place. But not all attractions are worth to see for foreign guests. For sure tou have to buy tickets for museum on the ship and submarine. Before you buy the tickets for other attraxtions, check what this is about, because you can be dissapointed and bored. I do not recommend aquariums. They are small and not so attractive. And in my opinion they are to small for all those fishes. But still you should come here and see those great things.

The unique cat-themed museum, known as "Мурариум," is located in a renovated 130-foot water tower. It boasts a top-floor viewing deck and a penthouse. The museum showcases an array of captivating and charming feline figurines. However, the entry process can be perplexing for visitors as they are initially directed to the 6th floor before being instructed to wait for the same elevator to descend one level, leading to lengthy queues.
Nice nice nice :))) Lot of interesting, funny, nice cats :)

One of da best water towers I ever seen my life (amongst 40&more). The view from the top is worth climbing up. Yet, turning such a glossy fabulous tower into a museum of cats is not that nice idea idk. The elevator is super tiny tbh. The cashier is placed inappropriately. Everyone can get inside for free by staircase and even the elevator, avoiding the tickets purchase. The hotel close to the tower ruins the view of the tower itself.

Seeing this well-kept piece of soviet history was a delight. The closest thing to this I experienced was in Gosport,UK where they have an Amphion class submarine on public display but it's nowhere near as well-kept as the B-413. Such a delight to visit!

You can't even imagine how difficult and unbelievable is to live and work in the submarine. Go and discover world of small spaces under the water. How they work, sleep, fight and go to the restroom. Take a walk from top to end and learn how difficult is to maintain it working. Wonderful experience!

This was a cool place to visit. For decades a submarine used by Soviet Union and Russia. It's part of bigger collections of boat at Museums of Oceans. It is 300 rubles to get into boat.

It's a whole day plan or the park you would love to go for a walk. Bus stop is convenient. There's no parking, but there's several busses stopping right in front of the entrance. So any bus can take you to the zoo. That's amazing! The restaurant in front of the park connects to the inside green foliage of the park. At this restaurant, there's this beautiful deck you can seat and enjoy the fresh air. It's a perfect place for everyone! I loved it! My favorite animal, my daughter's love, the giraffe. They are right there in front of you and get very close at you. Just beautiful! Also, at the entrance there's a racoons house(it's paradise). I would be a racoon, that's where I would like to live.

Historical landmark
The Hel lighthouse, located in Hel, Poland, is a time-tested working lighthouse that opens to the public during the summer months. Surrounded by historic keeper houses and set amidst a serene environment with plenty of trees, it offers visitors a stunning view. While not the most original on the outside, its interior boasts beautiful architecture including a photogenic spiral staircase. The area around the lighthouse provides opportunities for exploration and outdoor activities such as kite surfing.
One of the mains sights to visit while in Hel. A standard adult ticket is 12 pln. You take about 200 steps up and enjoy a very nice view both on the baltic sea and zatoka Pucka as well. Very beautiful! Highly recommend! *Be ready that last 10 steps are very steep. But I saw an elderly man on a crutch climbing up there on his own and getting down as well. Great respect! If he managed to do it, you'll be able too.

Good views if you can climb up all the steps. We went out of season so it was just me at the top.

Beautiful lighthouse! You can go upstairs for 20 złoty and see everything from up there through the glass...

It was interesting to visit the lighthouse, a beautiful view from above of the forest and the sea.

Great climb and fab views from the top of the lighthouse. Well worth a visit! (And we also saw wild boar in the forest close by - bonus).

Couldn't climb top as there was some limit of entry and we were told to wait for some time around 1.30 PM. I went back side of the lighthouse meantime and explored the forest bush, it was good. Entry road to the lighhouse itself was good with lot of trees around and calm environment.

Fokarium Stacji Morskiej im. Prof. Krzysztofa Skóry

Mentioned on 
+5 other lists 
Nature & Parks

Fokarium Stacji Morskiej im. Prof. Krzysztofa Skóry is a seal sanctuary located by the beach, offering visitors a chance to see and interact with seals up close. The entrance fee is minimal and goes towards the conservation of the seals. While lacking English information, it provides an interesting experience for those who haven't seen seals before. Visitors recommend timing their visit during feeding times to see the playful tricks of the seals.
A really nice place, but be prepared to queue, especially near the feeding time. But it is definitely worth the wait - the seals are so lovely. The feeding show is really fun and lovely to watch, as is just observing the seals: they all have their own personalities and behave differently. They have a shop which is situated some 200 meters from the entrance (and really close to the exit). This is a place you should definitely visit!

If there’s no line, go in without thinking twice — the idea is great and the place itself is nice. But if there’s a line (more than 30 people in front of you), I honestly wouldn’t recommend it. Spending two hours under the sun just to get in, then waiting another hour inside, only to watch a ten-minute seal feeding show, isn’t really worth it. If you find a queue, you’re better off spending those three hours on the beach instead — you won’t be missing much.

Cool and educational but the info during feeding is provided in Polish only. Still worth it to view the adorable seals. Make sure to attend during the feeding which is 4 times a day or so. The tickets are valid for 30 minutes after the purchase.

Seals are adorable and perform cute tricks for a fish. It’s definitely worth seeing their little show during feeding time. When I was there, it took place in the second pool, so make sure to find a good spot! Be careful when buying tickets – they cost 20 zloty per person, and you can pay by card at the machine. After printing your tickets, make sure to print the receipt as well! Both we and the couple before us received one ticket and one receipt instead of two tickets. Only after pressing the option to print the receipt did the second ticket come out. The main reason I’m not giving five stars is the complete lack of any information in English. Everything – the show, info panels, materials – is only in Polish. As a foreigner, you have no way (besides looking online) to learn about the great conservation work they’re doing there. That said, I wish the aquarium all the best – the seals deserve excellent caretakers and respectful visitors!

Fokarium is something you should see when you are in Hel. They help injured seals, which is really positive and their seals are very playful. We stayed there until feeding time and it was quite nice experience. I would reccomend allowing buying tickets online in advance. This time it rained, so there was not many people waiting, we waited outside just few minutes. But there is another line inside to visit small museum (unfortunately only Polish description). We waited there another 15 minutes to get inside. It was worthy, you could sed seals swimming under the water.

Its necessary to be in row in first 100 people, otherwise there will be no place to clear watch the show. Best places are on the bridge, but it fast full. Overall place is small for such big group of people.

Hotel Gniew Castle

Hotel
Sights & Landmarks
Contemporary hotel in a former medieval castle offering jousting reenactments & knights' feasts.
The hotel is located in the impressive former castle of Mewe built by the Teutonic Order (reception/indoor pool with whirl pool / fitness area), a Baroque palace overlooking the Wisla river and a modern part with nice comfy rooms and a restaurant. The town is small and quiet but nice to have a stroll and buy some things in local stores around the rynek (market square). There is a church and some well-preserved houses in walking distance. Highly recommended to stay in tis hotel!

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, especially enjoying its excellent location and the range of fun activities, like the medieval fair activity our work had booked. The rooms were comfortable, and the spa and pool added a nice touch to the experience. However, the service could have been more attentive, and there were quite a few spiders outside the windows. Overall, a good place for a unique getaway.
Martin H — Google review
We didn’t stay overnight but had a quick visit to take pictures. This is a historical site that has been turned into a spa and hotel. Maybe we’ll come back to stay one day, but business must be good as the two ladies in the reception weren’t enthusiastic about talking to us or recommending any services. In fact, they seemed more interested in talking to each other. Let’s ignore that though as it’s a pretty beautiful to visit.

Good castle view. The hotel was ok outside but the rooms were a bit old. Restaurant was ok
Za_zsc — Google review
The experience was nice and exciting to be in such a historic place. There were three hotels, the castle, a Palace and a modern style building. Each having its own nice feel and we stayed in the Palace. For the gym, swimming pool and other attractions we had to always move to the main castle and meals were served in the modern building so for me was not so comfortable but it's OK.

Great. Bowling line, Swimming pool, nothing more to ask for 10:10 💜
Lady W — Google review
Very good hotel. The reception service is very friendly and solved all the issues very promptly. There is not many people in restaurant that speaks English. The swimming pool is nice. Archery practice is also a plus. If you go by car, the access is easy, and if you go by train, you need extra attention because the train only arrives in a nearby city. The station does not offer any sort of service, products or any kind of facilities. It is recommended that you book your taxi on the way by searching on Google for any taxi driver or company in town, once on site there is nothing.

Great place for relax. Castle is beautifull and there are some attractions too, like night walks with guide dressed up as crusseider. Pool is open since early morning, 2 bowling alleys 🎳. The restaurant I great and buffet exquisite Definitely not our last time there.
