Perfect place to heal yourself. All path are clean and organised really well. Lots of flowers make beautiful smell to refresh your body & mental condition. Even you are able to purchase plants or flowers here.

Amazing place! Definitely recommend to visit. Perfect place to relax . All plants and trees have tables with names. Big playground for the children. Additionally you can buy a map for children on which you will be collecting stamps during your walk in the garden. The perfect time for visiting is spring when everything is in bloom.

Great place to spend the day. Its an amazing location for all those who love trees and plants. They have lots of different types of tree and plant. Ticket cost 25 for Normal, 15 for discount. At the end of the Garden there are lots of cherry 🍒 tree. During the season it is possible to pick as much cherry possible and take them home. Highly recommend for family picnic.

Amazing place . We had a lovely afternoon among the rhododendrons, roses and cherry trees. Rich history.

The best garden in Poland. Perfect for picnic, enjoying the nature and gardening at every time of a year. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting!!

Beautiful place for a nice walk, variety of plants, rocks display, grill, playground for kids. A free car park. Just a bit too crowded, and when you walk in - just number of ads, food places etc makes you dizzy. When you just over the first part, rest allow you to enjoy weather and nature

A great place to visit to walk among beautiful flowers. But I am told May is the best time when they are in full bloom. You could easily spend half a day here. Bring some food if you want to cook over a barbecue. You can buy food but the queues are long. There's a fun game for children to collect stamps dotted around the place. But this is a place to relax and enjoy the sun. But that's where it's appeal ends, as not sure what you can do in any other type of weather.

The Village Museum in Opole is absolutely breathtaking in spring! The blooming flowers, lush greenery, and traditional wooden cottages create a picturesque and peaceful atmosphere. Walking through the open-air museum feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by nature’s beauty. A must-visit for history lovers and nature enthusiasts alike

Great place to imagine how people lived 100 years and more ago . Plenty of greenery, trees , some places to seat. One of the rooms is very interactive about fishing culture, great for the young ones. Most houses have a person with who you can talk and know fun curiosities about the building and way of living back then . Totally worth a stop . 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾

Amazing open-air museum! Opole Village Museum is the perfect place to understand Polish history, culture, and traditions.

It’s a must-visit if you want to truly get to know Poland beyond the cities it shows the soul of the countryside. Take your time, explore every corner, and don’t miss the small details inside the houses. Highly recommended for families, history lovers, and anyone curious about Polish culture.

Worth the visit if you are in Opole, bit of history, bit of culture, chill atmosphere. Love this place in the spring when lush green adds to old cottage style :) Tip: there are animals, children may have some additional fun

Had a great time there and it only set me back 8zl. The guides are comely and spark up a conversation faster than any NPCs. Some of the houses were closed for some reason. And the open ones had at times their rooms roped off. I had to crane in to see what was in them, but otherwise it was quite enjoyable. There was loads of German stuff, too. Definitely recommend. If you happen to drive by — pop right in.

It's a set up of village from all over the Poland's village living style. Very nice and interesting, must visit. It has church, old style houses from 1700th century till date. Ticket are too cheap only-12zł per person. And on Monday it's free of charges. There is a artistic polish design on cups and saucers. Many events are performed over there. Parking area available. The Wsi opolskiej is situated in not far from the city. You can reached here by bus. The famous wind mill is the most attractive things for photography. Also you can enter inside the village house and see the set up - how beautifully they kept or decorated their house. Toilet are available near the ticket counter. Coffee vending machine is there. Apple garden and many more trees are planted nicely. Must visit!

....one of the best we visited!! No problem with parking (free), ticket machines (no need to wait in queue)...

There are a variety of wild animals to see here. The enclosures are very large and offer the animals plenty of activities and space. A very nice family zoo, the seals have plenty of action! A really nice zoo!

amazing zoo no comments... . beautiful fish tanks, food service inside for kids & adults. need minimum 3 hours for visiting

Very nice, not very big ZOO. We saw couple feedings and trainings. Parking close by for fee, the one across the bridge is free.

This zoo is beautiful and big. There is English posting for names and much information in Polish that can be translated with Lens. The ice cream was delicious and very clean place. We spent over two hours and could have spent even more time there. I think we walked nearly 10km during the visit. It is one of my favorites

Even better zoo than I imagined. You can see the animals really close. It's really modern, clean, and has beautiful waterfalls and an overall vibe. We went on a rainy day, so there were almost no other visitors besides me and my girlfriend, which made it feel like a private tour. We were there for at least 2.5 hours and still didn't see everything that the zoo had to offer.

Really good experience, can’t complain really! Though it was sometimes hard to view the animals as the cage was very large compared to the number of animals with an outdoor and indoor section. Apart from that wear some good shoes as you’ll be walking for ages.

We stayed over 6 hours in the park and still did not see a part of it! Kids and ourselves loved it, it's a unique experience. Definitely recommend it.

Excellent experience. Staff was very helpful and the whole atmosphere, availability of attractions etc was amazing. Beautiful place. You can easily spend there whole day considering how many attractions are there. Strongly recommended . I will come back again :)

It's amazing! Great place for kids and adults. All attractions are included in the ticket. Kids will have fun all day long

It wasn't really what my kids were expecting. My 11 year old wanted to ride more dinosaurs. My 8 year old wanted to interact with the dinos and not just look at them. The rides weren't even dinosaur themed. Food was ok. We ate outside where wasps were pretty much swarming us half the time. The 4d attractions were neat, not too much for those of us who tend to get queasy. We were there for the night on a Sunday, and once the park closed, we had a hard time finding a place to eat. Only a pizza place was open past 8, and the wait for delivery was an hour and a half at that point. Our over night accommodations were in the human evolution building. The common areas were very dark, and the entire decor was futuristic, blocky and uninviting. We stayed in the bronchiasaurus room, which housed 16 bunk beds and a private rest room with 2 each: sons, toilets, showers. There was a hair dryer and body wash/shampoo in the showers. Towels were provided. The windows all had screens to keep bugs out, which is rare here. The staff were accommodating with breakfast. We had to be on the road before their normal breakfast time started, so they prepared us sandwiches and packed them in a large bag and stored them for us in the common area kitchenette. A unique feature was the active dig site and being able to see authentic fossils. We did manage to get lost trying to find the dinos as we didn't expect the huge play ground and all the rides. There's also a beach on a lake. Lots of activities available. My kids enjoyed the giant trampoline. There's also an upside down house diagonal from the human evolution building you can go into for a little extra (36 pln for a family of 2 adults & 2 kids). We didn't use it, but there's ample camp grounds as well.

Very nice place to enjoy with kids. On sunday it was not crowded, a huge territory with lot of things to do and it was fun for kids and interesting for adults as well.

A great fun place for all the family. Lots to do for any age.. The food is petty decent too. There is a great variety of fun, with enough space to accommodate everything. Interesting interactive surprises. A very clever way to do it right. Been a number of times and always enjoy it. Downside is not enough staff, so beverage areas were closed and long queues. You must do the train ride!!

Mobile internet quality is very low. But other entertainment is quite good. Children were happy.

Attended the 2025 counterstrike 2 tournament, upon entering the stadium there was a long line and once you were allowed inside it was hell, everyone was pushing and pulling... but this is because obviously everyone wants the best seat, in the middle. Other than that, it was good. Nice to experience once.

Great arena in Katowice! I was here for EuroBasket 2025 and had an excellent experience. The venue is spacious and from every seat you get a perfect view of the court. The staff and people around were very helpful, which made it easy to get around as a tourist. There’s also a good variety of food, though prices are on the higher side. Overall, a really good experience

Visited for IEM Katowice 2024, so for 3 days straight. The arena was nice and clean with plenty of cloakrooms (almost no wait at the end of the event, fantastic). Toilets were kept clean. Beer on the pricier side, but really that is a standard in these types of arenas. I also have to commend the beatiful architecture from the outside. One of the prettiest arenas I saw.

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

Excellent stadium! Very good facilities

This arena has iconic UFO look from outside

Wonderful setting,tram service that stops directly outside very modern feel,if you turn on a 360 degree circle?you can see two monuments and a history of coal mining in the area and ultra modern buildings,you can see how wonderful the changing face of Katowice is.

This is a collection of buildings with a wide variety of exhibits. There are large collections of modern art on display in several of them. In the main building there are some extremely impressive exhibits, taking you through the history of Silesia, it's people and it's culture. There is one building which retains the original steam powered winding wheel, which unfortunately no longer seems to work. The huge shaft winding tower was unfortunately closed for rehabilitation when we visited (August 2025) - it would be a great viewing platform if it was open. A lot of the open spaces were closed of for repairs, but it still a nice area to walk around. Definitely worth a visit for the impressive history exhibits, or if you like modern art.

Very modern museum with a lot of interesting facts about the history of Silesia. The design of the indoor area is pretty cool. Whilest my visit the entry was free, but I think, it was only at this day. Unfortunately you can't visit the exhibition in the area on the outside at the moment.

Worth a visit. A modern art museum which is accessible to most tastes and preferences coupled to a very detailed and immersive presentation of the history of Silesia. Located in a large park with old mining buildings. Most of the park was closed due to construction works, at the time of my visit.

Amazing museum with very cheap tickets. There are many exhibitions in different buildings so there is a lot to see and at least 2 hours to spend. The best was the history of Silesia. Everything is labeled in PL/DE/ENG 👍 Definitely worth a visit

The Silesian Museum in Katowice is impressive not only for its striking underground architecture but also for its outstanding art collections. The galleries of Polish painting from the 19th and 20th centuries are beautifully curated, showing both classics and modern works. It’s a perfect place for anyone who loves art and history.

We visited on Friday, there was no queue. The lady on reception spoke excellent English. I've never been through metal detectors going into a place like this before. It was very different to what we were expecting. The site is an old mine that has been turned into an art house. There is a section of the site dedicated to the first and second world wars. The gallery spaces are large and the art fits in the spaces comfortably. There is a small shop on site with the usual range of souvenirs and snacks.

One of the best museums we have visited yet! Still in the development phase but absolutely fantastic when finished...

Not the easiest to find in front of the big shopping center, but its worth the visit. They are so cute. If you know their cartoon movies, visit them.

Nice place to visit...

Heroes of the old generation. Those who saw this animated series as a child are really interested to see them on the street.

This is a great statue of Bolek and Lolek. The local cartoon for children. It is situated between the 2 shopping centres in Bielsko Biala which is sfera shopping centre. Absoluteky must to see.

Looks nice for the very first 5 minutes after that you start to notice the crowded surroundings and nothing matches with the monument energy

Sentimental for Millennials that grew in Poland, however might not be so attractive for foreigners. Monument located in between two parts of Sfera Shopping mall.

Great for kids and adults who still remember this cartoon as dobranocka :) nice memories definitely something to go and check ;)

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

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

A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to. We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.

Probably one of the most badly organised tourist destinations in the world ! Always wanted to visit but was very disappointed, the complete cluster fxxk of the main entry, the inability to secure private tickets in advance via a official site, this resulted in almost 45 min to wait in a outdoor line until we could get to the ticket office and then another 2 hour wait until our time slot to actually get through the gate. I'd gladly pay €5-10 for advance tickets if I could get a guaranteed time to get in when I arrive. Once in there was no real flow or direction of what to see or what order to see it in. The official map was about as much use as sand in a desert, honestly a 5 year old could have drawn a better plan. Inside large tour groups dominated all the various things to see and we were often barged out of the way or unable to pass them while they blocked doors or things to see. My impression of the place has been ruined by visiting it and then when coming out, they don't even have clear signage where to get public transport back or a covered bus stop. The urban planner / architect who designed the new entrance and coach part obviously never tried visiting as a tourist.

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

Powerful to say the least! This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable

One of the must see place if you are nearby. A piece of the most terrible european history, which shouldn't be forgotten. Very impressive. Get your ticket in advance on the web, as you can get guider in your language.

We had a very peaceful and pleasant time exploring the small but informative Jewish museum. After the 1000s at Auschwitz, this was very peaceful and reflective. In fact we were the only ones there. Highly recommended to have another view.

This museum was an absolute delight to visit. What really stood out, was the staff—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their work. They made the experience even more enjoyable with their helpful insights and warm hospitality. The exhibit left a mark on me with its images or Jewish heritage and struggle and you could see through the organization this museum is passionate in educating its visitors. I definitely wish to return

A must-visit when in Oświęcim or Auschwitz. The staff – likely volunteers – are kind, helpful, and well-informed about the museum and its history. What makes this place especially moving are the personal stories connected to the photos and artifacts. It's not just history – it's human tragedy, respectfully presented. The museum’s free app, Oshpitzin, is excellent. You can download it from Google Play or the Apple App Store. It offers both insights into the Jewish history of Oświęcim and a virtual city tour. Everything is thoughtfully curated – simple, but powerful. Highly recommended: visit the museum and use the app, whether before, during, or after your stay.

As someone whose grandfather was born in Oswiecim, I thought they did a really great job in preserving this community’s memory and honoring it. I’d recommend, if you can, to ask for the keys to the cemetery and go visit there as well, also a very powerful experience

I visited the museum and synagogue of Oświęcim right after visiting Auschwitz. I received a guided tour by a museum employee name Lily who was knowledgable and adorable. Lily walked us through the different exhibitions and helped bring back to life the Oświęcim before WWII. The visit in the museum and synagogue was educating and even uplifting, in a sense that while the residents of Oświęcim may be gone, the Jews and the people of Israel and the spirit is still alive. Am Israel Chai!

Very interesting museum and a lovely tour done by a German Social Volunteer. English, German and Polish tours possible. Visit to the Old Synagogue is also nice and Jewish groups are able to hold a prayer with the old Thora. Beautiful, even though equipped with replicas. Very well worth a visit but don't expect much information on World War II. It's about Jewish life in the city.

A fitting end to a day after visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, was to visit this small simple carefully curated museum. It is in the Old Synagogue of Oswiecim and it contextualises what was once a thriving Jewish community with artefacts, personal stories and photographs. A wonderful calming visit with a good instruction and welcome from Dr Artur Szyndler, a historian and curator. Delicious bagels in the small cafe helped to provide some sustenance on a long hot and moving evocative day.

Nice biking spot though not for the faint of heart!

Super

Ok but busy busy at weekends

Lovely will be back

Perfect

Super

Super hill

Amazing theme park chock full of incredible roller coasters, Zadra being immense - ride it in the dark which elevates it to an entirely new level. Great value for money , ample car parking, tge park was fresh and clean. A great experience

I visited Energylandia because I was curious about the largest amusement park located near Slovakia. And I must say that I was satisfied. And that was right from the moment I parked my car, which I parked in a huge parking lot located right next to the amusement park. I must note that even though the ticket price is not the lowest, parking is paid separately (7 €/day). The amusement park premises are beautiful, decorated, pleasant movie music plays everywhere and you feel like you are in a fairy tale. There are many shops, restaurants and vending machines. Given that Energylandia has chosen a policy in the style of "buy a full-day ticket and all attractions are included in the price", it is logical that there are queues for each attraction - from 10 to 60 minutes (depending on what day / period you visit Energylandia). One ride lasts about 30 to 90 seconds. However, many of them are worth waiting for, as they offer maximum experience and adrenaline (e.g. speed of 144 km/h or overload up to 4G). You can watch the waiting time on several screens in the park or you can download their mobile application. A practical service is renting boxes to put things away (because you can't wear a cap/glasses/bag, etc. while riding). All you need to do is buy a bracelet (approx. €4), using which you can then always open one box at each attraction. Energylandia really offers an experience for people who like speed and adrenaline. They just have to wait for it :) I definitely recommend it.

The biggest amusement park in Poland! Lots of different rollercoasters, including extremely scary and more simple of kids and family. It's worth to spend there the whole day, they have everything you need. Very convenient system of storage boxes, you buy once for 17zl and can reuse it near every rollercoaster endless time. Also train station is very close, you can get by train from Krakow glowny within 1 hour for 12 zl, train goes every hour.

Amazing roller coaster ride! 🎢 The thrill, speed, and twists were incredible — pure adrenaline from start to finish. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time! Definitely an unforgettable experience!

Without a doubt the best theme park I’ve ever been too, had a lot of fun! Rides are amazing. Something does need to be done about line cutters, did have a bunch of kids jump in line on Mayan by jumping over the wall. Overall an incredibly pleasant experience, everything’s is reasonably well priced and affordable.

This park is awesome! I love their locker system here, it’s very convenient and easy to use. They have lockers almost at every single ride so you can put your backpack or bag in there hassle free! The rollercoasters here are amazing. This park is better than the Six Flags parks I’ve been to. I recommend :)

The amusement park is really big. Next time we will definitely buy the multiple day ticket. We went on Saturday so it was packed. We chose a day that was super hot, but they had stations with water sprayers so that was nice. Waiting time were quite long which we expected as we went on a weekend. Other than that it was great! Even the water park for the kids! Highly recommend to check out this park!

Overpriced, extremely over priced over-rated, poor quality This review applies to both Mirów & Bobolice Castles, visited Saturday 2nd November 2024 Firstly, don't bother, don't waste your time. You can see all you need to see from outside the walls, there isn't much else in the grounds or actually inside the castles. Secondly. How did national ancient monuments come to be sold to a private buyer who now makes a profit from them, ...only in Poland. The entrance fee to the grounds is extortionate, hence not advertised on the websites, also there are aditional fees for entrance to the inside of the castles, extortionate again as there is nothing to see. In Bobolice if you want to go to the restaurant, you have to pay the entrance fee to the grounds of the castle.

Nice place. You can see some old stuff inside the castle. It's worth the visit. I love it.

Beautiful place and beautiful surroundings. The exposition inside is pretty small. You have 30 mins to visit, which is enough. It is not very "historic" inside, but still nice to see. There is forest around with really nice tracks to walk in a good weather.

One of the best looking castles I have ever seen. I am all for these types of renovations rather than just preserving the ruins.

Amazing castle Unfortunately employees are very rude. Especially the lady at the hotel reception. I asked her to show me the room to see if I like it or not, I wanted to find accomodation in the region. Price of 390 zlot seemed good to me, but when I asked her 2 show me she said ' I won' t show it to you'. Very disrespectful attitude. If this didnt happen, the castle is amazing.

Awesome place to see! The inside of the castle is great! Beautiful surround area. Worth the out of the way drive.

Great place to visit. The castle was restored almost completely by the new owner over the last 15 years. Tremendous job. The castle offers would wonderful views of the Jura. One can see the Mirow castle nearby. It's another great castle. Follow the red trail to get there from Bobolice. The hike takes 20 minutes.

What is there not to like about this place, the home of our greatest ever Pope, absolutely fantastic museum about his life, and especially about his childhood... Prices to get in our rediculously cheap and it's all translated for you via a translator machine you wear around your neck.... To top it off the square it's located in is full of wonderful places to eat once you have finished your visit

Beautifully done museum that honors the incredible life of Pope John Paul II. Walking through his family home is both moving and humbling. A must-visit if you’re in Wadowice—he truly was an amazing man

one of my fav museums ever, many inspiring stories & items of pope john paul II. it was much bigger than i thought, and it was organised really well. location was accessible from the train station as well. highly recommend the english audio guide, it was very informative! pray for us st john paul II ! ❤️

What a delightful house, beautiful museum where you can still feel the spirit of St John Paul. I would love to visit again

I came late to the door so was the last to go round the muzeum. It was a shame since they had closed down the multimedia elements of the museum. Exhibits give a good flavour of JPII his life, times and achievements.

Visiting the hometown and the home of St John Paul II was a dream come true as Catholics. My husband and I learned so much about the late pope’s life which was built around Wadowice and enriched by the loving and faithful family he had. The museum was nicely organized. I could have given 5 stars if only we did not encounter some bombastic staff inside especially considering that they are supposedly helping visitors in a place where a great pope and now saint once lived.

Very big and interesting. Such a beautiful museum. They gave us headphones and a small radio so we could understand more about the Pope's life and childhood. As in prices very cheap and worth visiting.

Incredible castle ruins on top of a hill, with panoramic views of the surrounding forests! I came here for the Percival concert (Witcher) and it was an amazing medieval ambience.

Amazing medieval castle with lots of history and additional attractions. Great place to visit for families with children. Plenty of places to eat and park. Highly recommended.

Real gem. The castle is extraordinary and really recommend to visit. If you want to go inside - be advised - it has steep stairs and one steep ladder to one of the towers. Also, nice walk around outside the castle.

The 16th century fortress in Jura region. On the holiday during summer season, the medieval knights show is held. That was good for kids.

When you first set sight on the castle, you'll immediately be impressed. You'll want to keep looking at it because it's just that beautiful. Then your attention is rerouted by the endless amount of people in yellow vests trying to get you to park in their parking lots. Some even wave glowsticks around. I can't blame the locals for wanting to earn a quick buck off tourists, but it was certainly a bit strange. Some of them even opened up their backyards for parking. We eventually entered a parking lot where we had to pay 5 EUR or 20 PLN, but I can imagine that the price varies per lot. We got out and headed towards the castle, but along the route there was a guy in an ice cream van saying something to us. Now, I don't speak Polish, but my limited knowledge of Czech has allowed me to understand a decent amount of what people are saying. This time, however, he said something that in Czech would translate to pigs, so I can imagine his confusion when I pulled a very confused face after his little sales talk. Anyways, we went further along the path before we were bombarded with stalls on either side of the road. Again, I can't blame locals for trying to earn some money, but I do have to wonder why 1 medieval castle should need around 5 ice cream vans, several stalls selling the same plushies and toys and multiple stalls selling food and drinks. One of them even sold toy machine guns, which is quite odd when you're visiting a medieval castle, where the best gun you were gonna get would only fire a single shot and most likely miss the target, if not blow up into your face. Anyways, we finally got to the ticket office, where there was a small queue but nothing too bad. We went up into the castle area and this was absolutely beautiful. The castle itself had a few shops, but the main event was ofcourse the castle itself. The route was clearly indicated, and took you along almost every inch of the castle. The stairs up to the tower were a bit crowded, but nothing you can really do about that. There were a few little rooms that showcased stuff, including a room dedicated to the Witcher with a very nice replica of his silver sword, if I'm correct in that. In another room there was a canon from the 1700's, which seemed to me to be able to still fire, but I wouldn't recommend firing such an old weapon, lest it blow up in your face. The castle itself is located on a rocky area, which the castle accentuates brilliantly. Even though the castle isn't that large, it seems like it is due to the terrain. Some parts of the castle were lost unfortunately, I would have liked to see a restored version of this castle, I reckon it would have been beautiful if done right. Right now, you can see they "restored" certain small areas with bricks, which I don't think is very historically accurate but I could be wrong in that. A lot of the stairs in the castle have been replaced with concrete or metal ones, which is fair seeing the horrible state of the one staircase they kept in place. When leaving the main castle, the larger area still surrounded by walls is also something you should look at. It features a beautiful rock formation and an old torture chamber. I would take the things on display there with a grain of salt though, seeing there's an iron maiden in this room which they tried to pass off as historically accurate, even though it was only invented in the victorian age, much later than the medieval era. Still, I'm no expert in medieval torture methods so maybe the rest all checks out. When we eventually left the castle, the queue for tickets was way longer. It seemed we had evaded the busy hours, fortunately. Also, before I forget, dogs are allowed to enter the castle, so bring them along if you want. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend you to visit this wonderful place, but it definitely gets one fewer star because of the exceptionally touristy area centered around it.

I was expecting little because it all looks in ruins (in pictures) but once you are there physically you'll be amazed. Also, The Witcher (Netflix) filmed here.

Beautiful place. Felt like I walked into history with the festival vibes around.

Challenging but super rewarding hike when you get to the peak. Beautiful views.

It's a great spot for amateur climbers(myself), and u can enjoy it with ur fam or gf, nice cozy and a romantic place

Beautiful place for family trip. Definitely not over the weekend as can be too crowded. Then difficult to appreciate nature around with all the senses..

Amazing 360`C breathtaking views from "Diablak Mount" at Babia Góra - 1752m above sea level.. The tallest peak in Western Beskids of Poland and the 2nd tallest after "Śnieżka".

Beautiful scenery, lovely nature.

Climb was harder to Sokolica, but to next peaks it went pretty good. Loved it. Beautiful wiew. Wether changes fast, so prepare some warmer and rainproof clothes, even if you think there will be sunny and hot. It took little bit less than 3h to Babia Gòra for totally unprepared people.

Loved hiking in Babia Gora! The routes are difficult, but nothing insurmountable. There is an entrance fee of 5zl, but the routes are well taken care of. There is one cabin half way up where you can have a meal and use the restroom. There are also a couple of rooms/beds to stay over for the night, but they have to be booked in advance. You can pay with debit/credit cards. Not everyone here speaks English, so look up the information about the trails on internet just in case.

I was here to walk the trail. This church was the starting point of my walk. I spent about 3 hours to finish the whole circle. There are many chapels and other monuments along the trail. Very nice and quiet walk all along the way. The scenery along the route is very nice. The only issue I found is that English information is scarce. I barely found any information I can read about along the trail. If you do not speak Polish, you may need t o read about the trail and its history online in advance to have a better understanding.

Beautiful place with some fantastic views. 1. Try to visit when there is not a mass. 2. You can park along street all the way up to the top of Hill. 3. They have a main information window to the right of main entrance if you come up and enter from the bottom of the hill with statues above wall. 4. They also have tours at the information booth. 5. Remember to silence cell phone. 6. Bathroom is located directly behind (Rear entrance) in separate building in court yard. From rear entrance look to the right corner of courtyard you will see WC sign. Cost is 4 ZL cash and no credit card.

It’s very nice: the place has a nice atmosphere, and it’s nice for walks aswel!

Rooms are not clean, The restaurant is not clean too and they speak just polish, I thought i will have bread with the meals but when I asked after buying my meal, they asked me to wait again on the line for 20 minutes to buy it, Rests can stay on the table for 2 hours

This chapel is an important stop for pilgrims to visit places important from the context of Pope John Paul II's life. On a hill, the view from the church lets you see miles into the beautiful landscape. The church built centuries ago is imposing and the frescos on the ceilings and walls are artistically done. There are showcases of the former Pope's visits and most of the content printed is in Polish. The confession boxes are wooden and interestingly crafted for privacy. The church premises are undergoing renovation and wheelchair and stroller accessibility can be better.

Very beautiful area , village and sanctuary

Absolutely stunning place! Kalwaria Zebrzydowska park is a Mannerist architectural and park landscape complex plus a pilgrimage park, built in the 17th century as the Counter Reformation in the late 16th century led to prosperity in the creation of calvaries in Catholic Europe. The park was added in 1999 to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. The site is also one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii) and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland. This place is just mesmerising and you can fell something divine in the air, it’s truly a special place. They have also a some gastronomy there so you’ll never get hungry hah. P.S. Read about a history and fix your purpose before you go there!

A bit hard to climb up there as the surface is quite slippery.

Super !

Mighty as always;) I was with 2 foreigners and it was very interesting for them. Not that I want to brag... but I know around since I was a little kid. All Ojców area is great!

What makes this place even more worth being visited, is the truly scenic road leading to it, through a picturesque village where houses stand next to huge rocks reaching a dozen meters. What I do not like are costs - everywhere. For parking, toilet. It is rather demotivating.

Nice views :)

Nice place.

Must see :)

Wawel Royal Castle is a beautiful trip that is definitely worth the visit! The architecture is impressive and full of history, offering an enriching cultural experience. Furthermore, its location provides a beautiful view of the river Vistula, perfect for photos and relaxation. To complete the visit, make sure to see the famous Wawel Dragon statue, which, to everyone's delight, breathes fire every 10 minutes! It's a fun detail that appeals to all ages. The attraction is very well maintained, and the whole complex is a must-see tourist spot in Poland.

Visiting the Wawel Royal Castle–State Art Collection is an unforgettable experience that beautifully blends art, architecture, and history. Perched above the Vistula River, the castle offers breathtaking views of Kraków and an atmosphere that feels almost timeless. Every corner of the complex tells a story — from the grand royal chambers to the intricate tapestries and stunning Renaissance courtyards. The State Art Collection is incredibly well curated, showcasing exquisite works that highlight Poland’s royal heritage and artistic legacy. The Crown Treasury and Armoury, in particular, are a must-see for anyone interested in medieval craftsmanship and regal splendor. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, eager to share insights and answer questions, making the experience even more enriching. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and there’s plenty of space to wander, reflect, and take in the history that surrounds you. Whether you’re an art lover, a history enthusiast, or simply a traveler in search of beauty and culture, Wawel Castle is an absolute gem — a true symbol of Poland’s enduring spirit and elegance.

The Wawel Royal Castle Gardens in Kraków are a beautifully restored part of Poland’s most iconic historic site. Nestled on Wawel Hill, the gardens offer a serene escape from the city, with meticulously arranged flower beds, manicured lawns, and stunning views over the Vistula River. They blend Renaissance design with natural charm, evoking the elegance of royal life while maintaining a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere. The State Art Collection housed within Wawel Castle is equally impressive. It features masterpieces of European art, exquisite tapestries from the 16th century, royal portraits, and priceless artifacts from Poland’s regal past. Highlights include the famous Flemish tapestries commissioned by King Sigismund II Augustus and an exceptional collection of Renaissance and Baroque art. Together, the gardens and the art collection make Wawel not only a symbol of Polish heritage but also a living museum of art, architecture, and nature — a must-see for any visitor to Kraków!

This is a very impressive castle. We booked a tour so that we could learn a lot, but there is so much to see that the tour felt kind of fast. Book based on your personal preference - if you wish to linger maybe go with an audio guide. It’s very interesting and a wonderful place to visit.

A must do if you're visiting Kraków. The exterior grounds themselves are free to roam as you please, you will only need to pay to access the exhibitions inside the interior rooms of the castle. I will advise you that the tickets for the cathedral and rest of the castle attractions are sold in separate ticket booths. These tickets booths are clearly signposted however so you should have no issue in getting around. Also you must buy individual tickets for each of the attractions that you wish to visit during your time at the castle. All in all, it's a great day out for all the family and you can spend several hours here getting to see all of the great exhibits that are on display. There are also ample facilities for food, storing bags and toilets (which you can use your entrance ticket to access for free).

This is by far the most impressive castle I saw in Poland and it's huge. Divided by multiple sections, I strongly encourage you visit the jewels and weapons section and the 2nd floor, but if you hace time, everything is worth checking! Absolutely beautiful works of art renovated perfectly or kept pristine, an audioguide is strongly recommended so you can understand more the context behind some of the things. The dragon's den I considered it to be Meh, only visit it at the end upon exit if you want, but truth be told you won't waste much if you skip it. Gardens are beautiful albeit small. You'll need to leave your luggage upon visiting, but it's free storage so more than encouraged. A must see if you visit Kraków

Wawel Castle is without doubt one of the most impressive and historically important sites in Kraków, and a symbol of Polish heritage. Perched on Wawel Hill above the Vistula River, it combines beautiful Renaissance courtyards, Gothic towers, and breathtaking views over the city. Walking through the royal chambers, the armory, and the treasury, you get a real sense of the centuries of power and culture that shaped Poland. The nearby Wawel Cathedral, with its chapels and royal tombs, is equally remarkable and deeply moving, as it is the final resting place of Polish kings, queens, and national heroes. Even if you don’t go inside, the grounds are worth exploring for the atmosphere and panoramic views. This is a place where history, art, and architecture come together in a truly unique way. Absolutely essential on any visit to Kraków.

I didn’t go inside the buildings; we only walked around the open area. Honestly, the architecture isn’t much different from what you find in other classic European cities, but still, I think it’s one of those places you need to visit at least once. It gives you the feeling of truly experiencing the city, even if it’s not something completely unique.

It was a perfect day to see the many wonderful sites at Wawel fortress & cathedral. Access to all the grounds was free, there were some areas that had paid tours you could take. Absolutely lovely, thank you to the wonderful Polish people for allowing their guests to see their beautiful landmarks.

Wawel Cathedral is truly magnificent – a place where history and architecture meet in breathtaking harmony. The bells are especially impressive, resonating with a deep, solemn beauty that fills the entire space. Visitors should be mindful, however, that some stairways are quite steep and certain passageways can be narrow. Despite this, the experience is unforgettable, offering a remarkable glimpse into centuries of heritage and craftsmanship.

The beautiful and architecturally impressive Wawel Cathedral is a sight to behold. The stunning golden globe that adorns the roof is surrounded by detailed and ornate elements that collectively make up this stunning cathedral.

Stepping into Wawel Cathedral feels like crossing a threshold where time softens its grip. The air carries that unmistakable mix of incense, candle wax, and centuries of whispered prayers, as if the walls themselves still exhale the devotion of those who came before. Light falls gently through the high windows, illuminating gilded chapels, velvet draped altars, and the resting places of saints, bishops, and kings. The great bell above, massive and solemn, seems carved out of history itself. It is easy to imagine it thundering across Krakow, calling the faithful, announcing triumphs and tragedies, marking the passage of a nation. Inside the cathedral, the silver sarcophagi glimmer like frozen waves, each one guarding a life that shaped Poland’s story. The shrine of Saint John Paul II radiates a quiet warmth, a reminder of a shepherd who rose from these very stones to guide the world. Every corner feels purposeful. The carved choir stalls, the tapestries telling ancient tales, and the golden dome gleaming softly over the chapels all draw the mind toward the sacred. Candles burn steadily, their flames small but insistent, mirroring the devotion of those who come here seeking strength or peace. You feel the weight of prayers layered one upon another, like soft footsteps echoing across centuries. Wawel Cathedral is more than a monument. It is a living sanctuary where faith and history intertwine. Saints share space with monarchs, and the spiritual sits comfortably beside the political, each shaping the identity of this land. Visiting it is a reminder that some places are built not just of stone, but of memory, longing, and the human desire to reach for something higher. A quiet moment here lingers long after you leave, like the fading scent of incense on a winter coat, urging reflection and steadying the heart for the journey ahead.

Exceptional experience The outside architecture is great as well as the inside You can go to the top to see the royal Sigismund bell, the largest of the five bells of the cathedral. The crypts are very interesting as well and very detailed. I suggest you book the tickets in advance since it gets crowded enough

Chill place great for excercise, don't know if the wish come true or not but fun place for climbing stairs also it's paid so remember to visit it all cuz I don't thinkn you will this again in life(lyf) Billy eilish❤️‍🩹

Picturesque town square, beautiful pictures from all angles. The place really becomes lively at night. Dont miss the square at "blue hour," for us visiting in late september this was 7pm. Abundance of gift shops in the center. Underground Museum is worth a visit. One could spend days just stopping into resturaunts and stores.

Great atmosphere here. I felt very safe here. Always something going on. One night a group of about 100, 16 year olds, gathered and had a dance. Not one sign of trouble. Great atmosphere with the restaurants and shops

Absolutely stunning square with so much history and charm! The atmosphere is vibrant, surrounded by beautiful buildings, cafes, and street performers. A perfect spot to sit, relax, and soak in the city’s energy.

Crakow - the most beatiful city in Poland and Europe. It is soaked in history and its vibrant streets encourage to sightsee and explore the town. I trully recommend visiting it at least for 4- 5 days as ot has a lotto offer with Sukiennice, Main Market and Mariacki Church. Polish cuisine is deliscious and ypu can try many different food there.

I have being to so many cities main squares in Europe and this one is the most beautiful with great restaurants for food and drinks!!! I just truly love Poland so much and recommend everyone to go and visit.

Beautiful central square in Krakow! Huge square, there us a small market in the main building where you can buy souvenirs and also the traditional amber stone, as bracelet or charm, very pretty. You can visit St Mary's basilica and go up to the tower, extraordinary views from Krakow, totally worth the circa 300 steps to get to the top! Lovely restaurants around the square, and not that much expensive compared to others further away from the centre. You can also rent a charming charriot and go around central krakow, day or night

Beautiful old town, we arrived the evening before independence day for Poland, on the day it was very busy, high police presence, but no trouble. The town is full of Beautiful buildings, cafes, bars and restaurants. A restaurant for all budgets. The foot fall fell off, Wednesday/Thursday and grew again on the Friday. Due to the time of year, the increase of visitors didn't appear to have a negative effect on restaurants for us, but might at a different time of year. Poland is so worth a visit. We used Bolts, which is a kind of taxi service, which was Cheap and very quick ( download the app) to use as our chosen way of getting around when we went further a field.

St. Mary’s Basilica is absolutely stunning — the interior took my breath away. The colours, detail, and craftsmanship are incredible, and photos really don’t do it justice. It’s also great to see such a beautiful landmark remain accessible and affordable for everyone. Unlike many tourist sites, it doesn’t feel over-commercialised or like it’s trying to monetise a religious space — it’s handled with real respect and care. Whether you’re exploring Kraków for a day or a week, this is a must-visit spot. The surrounding square and old town atmosphere make the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend!

Marvelous cathedral, in the heart of the city center. With two characteristic towers, a Beautiful blue ceiling inside, and the astonishing golden wood panels at the altar. Don't miss the opening ceremony, be prepared at 11h30.

The St. Mary’s Basilica is absolutely beautiful. The architecture and interior details are stunning. There’s usually a line to get in, so plan ahead. Keep in mind that visitors aren’t allowed during mass, but outside those times, the experience is amazing and peaceful.

Wonderful experience. The Basilica is very interesting, nice and rich. Full of emotions. You have to wait a bit sometimes but it worths a visit. Every hour there's a surprise playing music...

Saint Mary’s Basilica rises over Kraków’s square like a Gothic prayer cast in brick. Rebuilt by the townspeople after the 1241 invasion, it became the city’s own gift to itself. Its twin towers—one tall and crowned with the Hejnał trumpeter, the other sturdy and quiet—frame a church shaped by generations of architects and guilds. Inside, blue star vaulted ceilings lead to Veit Stoss’s luminous fifteenth century altarpiece, a masterpiece of carved devotion. The shrine of Our Lady glows with votive offerings, and the hourly Hejnał, cut short in memory of a fallen watchman, ties history and reverence into a single breath.

Well, it's impressing but you're not getting that much of a difference in view by paying for the ticket. I recommend going through the free entrance and seeing if it's good enough for you before deciding to buy an actual ticket. By the way, you can easily buy tickets in the building opposite the side entrance.

A beautiful church in the heart of the old town, we visited Kate Sunday afternoon to escape the snow and cold and spent an hour in reflection. A beautifully designed interior with some stunning windows.

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

We took a golf buggy tour around Kazimierz and the Getto with Romeo and his wife who were excellent guides taking us to some very interesting places and telling us all about the history including all about King Kazimierz and Ester, St Stanislaus and visiting his well ,the war and showing us part of the original getto wall and schindler's factory to name just a few. This area of Krakow is a must visit with so much history and its also a very lively area with no end of places to eat and drink.

I would highly recommend a walking tour to know more about Jewish history in Krakow. It's quite interesting!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Was wonderful for my seven year old child and the cousin. Clean, safe, with very helpful and pleasant staff. Big enough to entertain for the day but small enough to not be overwhelming. My daughter is already talking about going back.

A perfect amusement park for smaller kids, many rails they could go to and almost everything is included in the price.

Rabkoland is a nice amusement park, but it’s definitely smaller compared to Familypark in Austria. It’s really best suited for kids up to about 10 years old – the attractions are tailored more for younger children. The food was a pleasant surprise: lots of options, tasty, and noticeably cheaper than what we’re used to in Familypark. We went there in the morning and managed to try almost all the rides without much waiting. After lunch, though, it got much busier and the queues grew to about 15–20 minutes per attraction. Overall, it’s a fun and affordable day trip if you have smaller kids, but older children might find it less exciting.

This is absolutely perfect place for kids to spent a day. It's worth the money you pay. So many beautiful and funny attractions, all surrounded by flowers and trees. From the first step even me I felt like in fairy tale. We were in august and queues haven't been long at all. I like that park is especially for the little ones, from 2 to 10 years best I would say. Parents can enjoy many attraction with kids which is definitely plus. Big choice of tasty food for affordable prices as well. Fan for all day. Definitely recommend to visit.

Beautiful park to visit, plenty of rides for the whole family.

Great theme park...especially for little ones There is plenty to do for the whole day. We did pretty much do all the rides, visited soft play and outside play ground. Lunch was outside in a quick food cafe where you can choose your door and pay per 100g. It was very tasty and good choice for the whole family. Fun day.

It was absolutely amazing the kids loved it. It is for smaller kids teens won't have that much fun i would prefer Energylandia for them. There are also people dressed into a croc, a ladybug and a clown. Really amazing experience

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.

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.

If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive place to break up a days travel insurance would thoroughly recommend Chęciny Zamek. We were probably here an hour or so and it has some great interactive things for the kids. It's open air so in winter it got pretty cold especially at the top of the towers but the views of the surrounding area were great. There is also a restaurant by the free car park and toilets (4zł at time of writing) on the walk upto the entrance. There's a gift shop on site and sometimes you can hire a private guide as you walk in. They took card and cash payment at the ticket booth in winter 2025.

A beautiful place to visit. But the cashier does not speak English. For a child who is 13 years old did not sell a discounted ticket because documents were left at car. I don't understand how they can't sell you discounted ticket for child. While buying tickets the cashier were talking on the phone and the queue become very long. There is a very small platform on one of the towers and if the group comes up there is no place to turn around. In this case there should be a sign down that more than 7 people can't go up. Toalets are not free. (4PLN)

It is located just a few kilometres from the motorway connecting Warsaw to Krakow, making it an ideal place for tourists to stop along this route. The visit is enjoyable and lasts about an hour or less.. From the free car park, it takes 10 minutes to walk up to the castle along a small pedestrian street lined with wooden statues. Admission costs 23 PLN, it is possible climb two of the three towers enclosed within the surrounding wall. You then descend on the other side. At a certain point, the road forks into two: one path leads to the village, while the other leads back to the car park and the commercial activities. Built at the end of the 13th century, the castle was once home to knights, nobles and queens. It was destroyed and burned in an uprising against the royal family in 1607. It was rebuilt three years later, but suffered further destruction at the hands of various armies from 1655 onwards. Some maintenance work was carried out on the ruins in 1880, and it was rebuilt after the Second World War to restore it to its former glory.

The place is certainly impressive and excites the mind. Both the castle on the mountain and the town at its foot are steeped in history and make you want to spend as much time there as possible.

A lot was under cinstruction and wasn't able to explore everything. Feels little empty

Very cool castle. This is one of those hidden gems that you find in Poland. You will park in the parking lot pretty far down below. There's a little bit of a hike to get to the castle from the parking lot but it is a beautiful Forest and Trail. Once you get up to the top there's an entrance and you will pay the fee to get in. There are two towers that you can climb all the way to the top and get a panoramic view of the whole Countryside. My recommendation is to take the tallest one and just go up that one because the views are pretty similar. There are all types of things to see and to visit once you are in the main part and I just think that this place is beautiful.

Very nice place, a reconstructed castle with many attractions and places to take pictures. Lots of informative signs. Be prepared for an abundance of steep steps, especially to the top of the round tower. The view is amazing

Didn't allow pictures as if who knows what they are hiding in the cave. Troll's treasure? Plenty of pictures already online in other reviews. Cave is tiny and not worth the money. Better spend your hard earned cash in the castle next door, more entertaining and customer-focused.

Interesting caves and nice live guides, but when we arrived we did not have an option of a different language and had to listen the guide in Polish, but the cost is reasonable. you should dress well as in summer it is +9 C inside. You are not supposed to take pictures but probably it was meant to avoid flash

Beautiful cave. Tour in Polish but can get an English audio guide. I'd suggest paying for parking that is not under the trees. We got a large chip in the windshield from the trees while on the tour.

You can't take photos here(( The place is good and adapted for people like me, who afraid of any caves. There's a lot to see. I advise to go in with a guide

Cant say anything. We were going from Warsaw to this place. Unfortunately, we havent got there inside and not only we, as there were no tickets available from 12 a.m. So it matters to buy tickets in advance and pay attentiion to working hours.

It's super cool, but the place isn't exactly the best. You can tell there are a ton of bootleg stores in the area with only 3/4 regional things. The place is kind of overall very getto and the wait times are HORRENDOUS. Waited 3hrs to get in, and when I finally did it was for 5mins at best. Looks cool at first, but don't come here. 2 stars for the looks in the cave. Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary but it's nothing special. Just some stalagmites. Also, only polish??? What happened to being friendly to people outside of poland?! I saw some people from the UK and they were totally confused. DONT COME HERE. GRAVE MISTAKE.

Great place to visit for the whole family. Beware, the inside of the cave and its visit for the 20 minutes inside has about 8 degrees Celsius. There is no gift store with extra clothing (hint, hint organizers) thus bringing your own polar or a sweater with a hood is advisable. This is a guided tour, 15 people per guide. Don't be surprised if you have to wait 3-4 hours for your turn, buying tickets online and reserving your spot is a good idea. Recommended.

Very nice park overall, just because of multiple birds on trees - the walking paths aren't too clean, and they don't seem to be cleaned often.

Very nice place for walking and well maintained. Traditional music played in the evenings. Perfect for an evening or morning walk.

Beautiful view of park within the center of the town, recommended!
