One of the "cuter" squares in Europe. Lots of places to sit outside to have a drink. Or there is nice public seating and even a public piano you can tinker on. It is fun to sit nearby and listen to the random talented people show off their skills.

History of Market Square in Rzeszów dates back to the 15th century but the current look of the market is much different from its original form. It is the result of a great fire which broke out in the 19th century. No matter what it is nowadays beautiful as well especially during early morning or evening.

Typical old town market square, reminds me of the one in Lviv. Lots of restaurants and bars, town hall, few statues and a playable piano. Nice atmosphere.

Beautiful old European style square with many restaurants and bars on the other edges. Seems like something is always happening here for example there was a fire dancer show on s Wednesday night when i visited.
Martin Kopec — Google review
Such a beautiful Town square. We have visited quite a few polish cities and this is one of the most beautiful main squares. We particularly liked the bugle call alongside the clock tower bell ringing on the hour. Loads of nice restaurants and bars lining the square which is absolutely delightful to sit and while away the hours with a cold beer. We really had the best weather to enjoy the surroundings.

Beautiful & busy main square with many restaurants and pubs to offer variety of food and drinks. Many shops within a short walking distance.

Nice experience at the square. Not too busy and visually appealing.
Jaworzyna Krynicka is a 1,114-meter peak in Poland that offers a range of activities for visitors. In winter, it's a popular ski destination with fantastic slopes and a gondola ride to the top taking just 12 minutes. The views from the peak are spectacular, and there's an observation tower offering even more breathtaking panoramas. In addition to skiing, the area also features hiking and biking trails for outdoor enthusiasts.
Nice view! Recommended as trip destination for families

(Translated by Google) Beautiful at any time of the year. I go there in winter at least three times a year to ski, the slope is fantastic, offering many opportunities. You can take a gondola to the top, the journey takes 12 minutes. You can leave your car right next to the ski lift, parking costs PLN 3/h, or I recommend a large free parking lot 50 meters away. The views from the top are spectacular in good weather; there is a viewing point on the roof of the railway for a small fee. There are also restaurants where you can eat and drink something. I recommend Jaworzyna!!!
(Original)
Piękna o kazdej porze roku. Wracam tam zimą przynajmniej 3x w roku na narty, stok rewelacyjny, dający dużo możliwości. Na szczyt można wjechać gondolą, podróż zajmuje 12minut. Auto można zostawic pod samym wyciągiem, parking 3zl/h, lub polecam 50 metrow obok dość duży darmowy parking. Widoki ze szczytu przy dobrej pogodzie rewelacyjne, na szczycie na dachu kolei udostepniony punkt widokowy, za drobną opłatą. Są także restauracje gdzie można sie posilić i coś wypić. Polecam Jaworzyne!!!

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels and chambers in southeastern Poland that has been welcoming tourists since the 17th century. The mine is famous for its crystalline sculptures, saline lakes, and two-hour guided tours.
Comprehensive tour of one of the first UNESCO world heritage sites.
The tour is quite physical and involves a lot of walking - one to keep in mind for those with mobility issues or small children.
The guide opens with the history and how the salt was mined over time. The rooms and compartments are larger and more elaborate as you deepen into the mine.
The construction is simply breathtaking.
Daniel Chorley — Google review
Visited over years ago. Amazing tour. The caves were well ventilated and cool. The salt sculptures were beautiful. The attention to detail was very evident. Take at least half a day to enjoy the mine. An elevator will take one back up but the walk down the stairs is worth taking.
David E. Cruz — Google review
Much more interesting than I imagined. With such a long history too! We walked down about 50 flights of stairs and through various mined caves and connectors on our tour. Happy there's a shaft elevator to bring you back to the surface at the end!
Michael Martin — Google review
Amazing experience! The whole atmosphere was great, it didn’t give me any feeling of claustrophobia and was easy to follow. We went there with our 2 kids, 9 and 7 years old who were completely excited from the moment we entered until the end, a bit more than 2 hours. A must see in Krakow!
local friend — Google review
A very enjoyable experience. This salt mine is incredibly vast, it's hard to believe that you only visit 1% of the tunnels, which stretch for over 300 km in total. The mine has a rich history, spanning more than 700 years. Definitely worth a visit.
Pawel Brozyna — Google review
The English tour was great, and the construction inside the mine is impressive to say the least. Be mindful that there are many stairs and some narrow passageways. A lift is available, for coming up as well, but stairs are the default when going into the mine. Can easily be reached by car or public transport.
There is a lot to see in this mine, so I would recommend dedicating at least half a day for this activity. The tour can be run in many different languages, too.
Overall, a great place for a day out near Kraków.
Sam N — Google review
Overall great experience here. I took the English tour and it was very enjoyable. It is a very high traffic attraction so keep that in mind. It took about two hours to do our tour of the mine. You only get to see a fraction of this beautiful place, but nonetheless it is worth while going. I highly recommend getting a tour while in Krakow!!!
Maksim Blair — Google review
This was a very impressive experience. I saw a short video of this salt mine 7y ago on IG and wanted to go and visit. It looks so much more impressive in real life than in a pictures. This involves a lot of walking. Very busy all the time. The tour guide said during the busy season more than 80k people visit a day. When we went it was really busy and instead of having 2h tour it end up being 3.5 due to the tour group backlog. It was still an incredible experience though. Its over 250km of tunnels over there. A lot of sculptures craved out of salt look beautiful. There is a restaurant at the end of the tour, food was very nice. 100 % recommended visiting.

WOW! So much to say. It was a beautiful experience; our tour lead was absolutely perfect. She spoke with confidence and made sure that she phrased in a way everyone would understand. She even added some comedy to help keep attention; absolutely loved it. She also answered all questions we had and kept us up to date on how deep underground we were and where in the mine we were. She was very kind and definitely made the experience WORTH IT! But even then the views and things you see are absolutely mind blowing. The churches and waters within are beautiful.. and very salty!

We went on the miners route tour which was a fantastic alternative to the tourist route. About 3 hours. Our guide who spoke multiple languages was excellent. He had a great sense of humour and we all had a great time. Overalls and safety equipment is provided and there are secure lockers to secure your bags and belongings. We highly recommend you take this tour.
A Non — Google review
Quite demanding on your legs, but absolutely worth it. Our tour guide was excellent and provided so much information in a fun and accessible manner! It's actually incredible to consider just how large the mines are given how much you see, but that amount only constituting a small % of the whole mine. Definitely worth experiencing if you are in Krakow - it's easily accessible by train so no need to book a dedicated tour, just book your own ticket and ride on over! (If you're lucky, you can even get in on an earlier tour!)
Iestyn Dallimore — Google review
Absolutely incredible, would highly recommend. I have no idea how people are so skilled to create such art out of the Salt Mines. We did the tour which lasted about 2 hours, and it was fantastic. I believe we went 164m deep, and only saw 1% of it! Amazing.
Natasha G — Google review
My visit to the Wieliczka Salt Mines in Krakow was an awe-inspiring journey that left me utterly captivated. From the moment I descended into this subterranean world, the sheer grandeur of the salt-carved chambers and intricate sculptures took my breath away.
The tour guides were not only knowledgeable but also passionate storytellers, weaving historical anecdotes and geological insights seamlessly into the narrative of the mines. Their expertise added a layer of depth to the experience, transforming each step into a fascinating exploration of Poland's rich mining heritage.
The salt formations, illuminated in a mesmerizing play of light, created a surreal atmosphere that added to the enchantment of the journey. The attention to preserving the authenticity of the mines while ensuring a safe and enjoyable visitor experience was commendable.
Navigating through the labyrinthine corridors and chambers, I marveled at the sheer craftsmanship behind the salt-carved sculptures and chapels, a testament to the centuries of labor that went into creating this underground masterpiece.
The logistical aspects, from ticketing to guided tours, were seamless, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the wonder of the Wieliczka Salt Mines. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-visit for anyone in Krakow, offering a unique and unforgettable glimpse into Poland's subterranean treasures.
In summary, the Wieliczka Salt Mines exceeded my expectations, delivering an enriching and visually stunning experience that remains etched in my memory. I wholeheartedly recommend this historical marvel to anyone seeking a truly extraordinary adventure in Krakow.

Salt Mine in Wieliczka is an extraordinary experience in the fascinating world of salt mining. The underground chambers, intricate sculptures, and breathtaking chapels carved entirely from salt are truly awe-inspiring.
The knowledgeable guides provide insightful commentary, adding depth to the tour.
A must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Krakow region.
Madridista IY — Google review
We took a guided tour from Krakow which we booked well in advance. We were a small group and there was no waiting to get in. The tour took about 2 hours and there were about 500 steps to go down the 3 levels that are accessible to the public. Fortunately there is a small lift to take you back to the surface and it only takes 45 seconds.
The Chambers and carvings were amazing. A must do tour for Krakow!

This is a truly breathtaking experience! The underground salt mine is absolutely extraordinary. Incredible craftsmanship - fascinating sculptures which were carved out of salt rock that shine like granite, and there were also logs that had transformed into salt over years. Such a unique atmosphere. Great tour - very educational and tour guide were knowledgeable. Such a historical gem. This place is definitely worth a visit!

Fascinating/stunning. Very well organised and executed. The guide was really knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. Plenty to see and take in. Tip; stay on and do the museum tour. You go through a labyrinth of tunnels in a smaller group taking in the history of the mines along the way. You also get a trip back to the surface in an express elevator.

Fantastic tour. Our tour guide Renata was so entertaining and funny. The whole tour was a couple of hours but I wish it were longer. There are so many beautiful rooms and structures that I could stay there for hours taking photos. Highly recommend.
Michal Labaj — Google review
Incredible (and salty) experience! 130 meters deep below the surface in a 700 years old Polish salt mine isn’t something you get to do every day. The whole ordeal was made a lot better with a very talented and comprehensive guide taking us through it all. You get history, religion, architecture and lots more in one big, interesting package. The most fascinating part was probably the open chapel and balcony that is in fact being used for actual weddings, ceremonies and more. Without hesitation I’m sure most can conclude it is well worth a visit, even still for the price it costs.
Anders Folke Westlund — Google review
This is a must go! The experience is really good, I do recommend a guide, although it will cost you a little more you can actually learn and understand purposes of different chambers and history behind it. The guides can be bought in town centre and a Sprinter picks you up from hotel. This is a full day activity, there is a restaurant and a shop down underground which takes cash. The most fun experience in my opinion are the huge chambers such as chapel as well as the lift. The lift is tiny 8 people and sometimes miners get on it!!! It is scary but exciting at same time!
Jakub — Google review
A great experience to go down the mine, the English tour guide was brilliant. The sights in the mine and the carvings are amazing. My one warning would be the getting down and up. It's 54 sets of stairs down (a lift is optional) coming back up there is a small modern mine shift you get in with 8 people it is a very tight squeeze. If you are claustrophobic it may cause issues.
Tom wells — Google review
This place is really an experience that should be made in life! The mine is huge (more than you can imagine from outside) but some spots are really terrific and wondering at the same time! It's unbelievable thinking that people created most of them only with hand tools. You have to walk a lot and there are a lot of steps, so you should be ready but it really deserve the effort!
Giuseppe Giuseppe — Google review
Wow...what an amazing experience. Easy to get there with public transport from Krakow, the buses go there like 3/4 times per hour.
Really in love with the mine, deepest point we went was 130 meters below street level. Amazing art, really good guide speaking clearly and in proper English as well.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is a must see tourist attraction. It was very interesting and amazing to get immersed in the labyrinth of tunnels, caves and caverns. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and spoke English fluently. The scale of the mine is mind blowing. Our tour lasted approximately three hours and our tour guide said we had only seen 1% of the mine. Learning about the history of the mine and the important part it played on Polands prosperity was very enjoyable. There are underground gift shops and a restaurant if you get peckish. The lift to the surface felt very sketchy, but was highly enjoyable.
Harry Barker — Google review
Visiting the Wieliczka salt mine was an amazing and very interesting experience. We really recommend visiting, although you have to be able to walk quite a lot. There is a lot to see and every chamber seems to offer a new surprise. Sometimes it was hard to believe one’s eyes when seeing all the sculptures carved from salt. Our guide on the tour was very nice, fun and able to tell all kinds of stories about the different chambers. At the end of the tourist route there is also a shop and a restaurant. We really enjoyed our visit. No wonder this is an UNESCO world heritage site!

Incredible venue. I didn’t expect such a place. The guides are very professional and funny. You can have a lunch or dinner down there as well. The history is very interesting to ear. I definitely recommend if you are in Krakow, a must seen. I will come back.
Spoiler alert : If you are scared about elevators, be careful, you can be very scared with the one they operate.
Very nice trip amazing views very nice service. Buy tickers for thr trip before coming via online in this way you dnt have to wait in line otherwise it will be a long wait so do buy ticket before. Trip is around 20 min which will take you to top of Kasprowy nice views all along trip and if you have return ticket as well then you have to be back with in 2 hrs.

In addition to the heel and toe system, you can go up the hill from Zakopane with a lift. I recommend buying lift tickets in advance. Starting in the morning, queues for buying tickets are usually very long in the summer when the weather is nicer. The lift also has an intermediate station where you can make a change if necessary and change part of the ascent (or descent) to a walking tour. The upper lift station also has restaurants (on two floors, the lower of which is always less crowded), a toilet (for a fee) and a phone charging station (lockable free lockers in the room next to the toilets).
Indrek Martin — Google review
Beautiful but too much waiting time for the cable car.
The museum tells the story of how Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, managed to save the lives of many Jews during the Nazi occupation of Krakow. It features exhibits about life in Krakow during World War II and the city's underground resistance movement. There are also rooms dedicated to Schindler and the Jews he saved.
If you want to visit somewhere with your friends in Krakow or if you are interested in history you should visit this place. Very cheap price and discount for students. If you want to buy things like souvenirs you can buy them.
Omar Alimov — Google review
One of the best museums I've ever visited and certainly the most tactile museum of this kind. Each room is themed differently with walls, floors etc. fitting the theme. An insightful portrayal of the impact on Poland throughout the war and an emotionally charged visit. Would really recommend the guided tour as I don't feel like we would have got as much out of our visit without this.
Beth K — Google review
The movie is my first impression of the Jew history, so I visited this museum when I have this chance. The museum showed and recorded that history, its well designed route. I didn’t get much time to well go through the whole museum, but still glad to be here and walk into this unforgettable history.
Olivia Chen — Google review
I recommend buying tickets online in advance so you don’t have to wait and get a guaranteed entrance.
Super informative museum about the life of what it is like living in Krakow during world war 2 and how Jewish people were treated. Highly recommend going it takes about 1 and half hours to 2 hours to walk all the way through and read all the information.
Luke — Google review
Quite pricey for what you get, very little about Schindler himself and the story of the Jews he saved due to the factory and more focused on the impact of the war on Krakow. The story is quite limited and focused on emotional impact rather than information. Very few exhibits but I guess being able to stay near Schindler's desk should be reward enough.
You need to book even a week in advance, there are companies that offer guided tours who hog all the tickets. Be sure to enter the place at the time you are scheduled and not earlier because otherwise you will run into groups on a tour and it will be tough to move about.
I do have to admit the organization is quite good, once I realized I entered earlier than scheduled, I waited for 15 minutes for the two groups in front of me to clear and I did have a relaxed experience
Claudiu — Google review
One of the most informative and detailed museums I’ve visited. To be honest we hadn’t looked at reviews first so we didn’t know what to expect, but the museum took us on a journey from prewar Krakow through the evil horrors of the holocaust and beyond. This museum is far more about the experience of the Jewish residents of the city than it is about Oskar Schindler. His heroic actions are presented in the context of the changing lives (and sad deaths) of Polish Jews. The overall museum experience is both heart wrenching and inspiring. This, slightly out-of-way museum is a strongly recommended visit. We waited for about 30 min to get in and found that tickets were available despite the website saying otherwise.
Bob Cook — Google review
A must when visiting Krakow. The museum is amazing and very informative. You will need at least 2 hours or more to take in everything the museum has to offer. I would recommend getting there early and buy a guide book.
Icicle Ike — Google review
A must-visit for everyone interested who wants to learn more about history. It can be a bit crowded and there are two ways of visiting it: on your own and with official guides. The tour with a guide takes around 2 hours and it's worth it, even though I would have liked a few more minutes in some rooms to look at all the objects and posters that were there.

Very educational and lots has gone into making this an educational and respectful experience. Are tour guide was extremely passionate about the information she was giving and was clearly very invested in her work. I would advise doing the tour but perhaps also spending time alone to read the information and really absorb the place and it's significance.
AARON — Google review
No doubt one of the best museum I have been. Oskar Schindler isn’t the entire theme about the museum but instead, they put you through a journey about Polish and Jews during WW2 and how Krakow was at that point of time. The journey that this museum aims to take you through is indeed very well planned. Instead of just exhibits after exhibits, the museum is interactive and intriguing. Especially the part where they made you walk on uneven ground to reach towards the area of bright light. It’s just too thought provoking. I highly recommend this tour for anybody especially those who takes keen interest in modern history.
Patrick Lim — Google review
This museum is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. We booked a tour as this was recommended by a friend. As they did not and wished they did. The guide was very good and pointed out things that we may have missed. I would like to return to do the tour without a guide as so much information to read and take in if you love history.
C Stenning — Google review
I'm disappointed to not really see any of the factories. It's just a museum within the old factory. The only machines are in the reception.
The photos were amazing, and the office of Schindler himself was amazing to see. Especially the map behind his desk.
Harry — Google review
Important historical exhibition. VERY very busy (even in shoulder season / start of November), best with guide. Gets booked up quickly but resellers (eg Get your Guide) can sell you tickets at a reasonable price (£5 extra per person, but this includes an excellent guide) we booked the day before - had we not booked with them we would not have been able to go. Book at least a week in advance otherwise you won't be able to book directly. We had a knowledgeable and easy to understand English speaking guide - a Polish Australian - easy-going and fun. Also headphones issued so we could hear the guide clearly without him shouting. To be honest we have had 4 English speaking tours over the last 4 days in Krakow and it has been hard to understand some or a lot of what was said (big groups, noisy rooms, Polish accents etc) - this was the best.

The visit proved to be both inspiring and a reflective moment on the events of World War II. With free admission on Mondays, albeit accompanied by a brief 15-minute queue, the experience provided a unique opportunity to delve into the historical significance of the site.
Alberto Masiero — Google review
This NOT about Oscar Schindler's story. For this you can watch the movie. This is about the German occupation of Krakow and in it you will glimpse Oscar Schindler's if you look hard enough.
But overall a very interesting museum. The place was packed with tours on Sunday afternoon.
Eric J — Google review
Those hoping to find out much about Oscar Schindler and his story are likely to be rather disappointed by this museum, as although this is the site of his factory, he is only really covered in the introductory film and the couple of rooms that were his and his secretary’s office. Otherwise, this is mainly the story of Kraków during World War II, with a particular focus on the Jewish community and Płaszow concentration camp. It does an excellent job of telling this story and unless you really are obsessed with Schindler, it is definitely worth visiting and allowing 2-3 hours to do so. Everything is in Polish and English, and the story is brought to life with numerous photos. At times, aesthetics have been prioritised rather expense of legibility; some of the boards are on backgrounds that make them almost impossible to read. It can also be hard to be an individual visitor with guided tours clogging up many areas, as the museum is really not spacious enough to accommodate tours. These are minor quibbles for improvement and I would certainly recommend a visit. It can get popular and ticket slots sell out, so reserve ahead online if possible (you can collect and pay at the ticket office).
Phil Bradford — Google review
We visited the museum on a free entrance day, so we had to wait in line, because we came a bit later. It went quickly, but it's good to arrive as soon as possible. On other days, be sure to buy tickets in advance.
I definitely recommend it to those who like history, but also to everyone else as a reminder of the cruelty and senselessness of war.
Peter Seno — Google review
Very informative and interesting giving us lots of knowledge about the war not just the factory or Schindler. Great guide at a good pace allowing time for photos. Provided headphones so that everyone could hear the your guide easily.
Great place to find out about Poland during the war with amazing exhibits.
Easy to rebook but needs more information when waiting to enter. Booked through the museums website but we're told to wait for a private tour that we meet outside at the front. Lots of people also waiting and being told by security to wait outside for their private tour. Once met everything was well organised and smooth.

I was surprised by how interactive the museum is - there are many places you can be immersed in the story. also the plethora of artefacts is probably unmatched nowadays. it is absolutely worth a visit but mind where you’re getting your tickets from - I got them from a third party website and had to wait past my booked time for the man to bring the tickets to me, as they’re not handled by the museum itself.

Fabulous venue. Wonderful insight and information about the man himself, the fantastic work he did here, and also a lot on information about the German invasion, the Ghettos, and the general terrible treatment of the Jews and Poles by the Germans after the invasion. Must see venue.
Kraków Old Town, also known as Stare Miasto, is a historic district located around Rynek Główny square and surrounded by the lush greenery of Planty Park. The area is home to iconic attractions such as The Cloth Hall Museum, the Rynek Underground Museum, and the stunning Gothic St. Mary's Basilica. Visitors can explore charming narrow lanes filled with unique shops, cozy cafes, and a variety of dining options.
The Rynek Główny is the main market square in Krakow and it is surrounded by some of the city's most important historic sites. The plaza originally dates back to the 13th century, and it is still considered one of Europe's largest medieval markets. Aside from monuments to Adam Mickiewicz, there is a sculpture called Eros Bendato which depicts the severed head of this Greek God.
What a lovely central area. The markets and the food stalls were great. We had a meal outdoors and later on cake and coffee at another cafe. Found a brilliant jazz club on the square where we had a brilliant evening. Got a late bite at one of the stalls in the early hours of the morning which was huge and delicious so was shared by all. All places were great. The architecture is amazing the whole place is very pleasing. The climb up the narrow steps in the clock tower was hard work but the view at the top was stunning. As it was Easter not everything was open but there was still plenty to see and do. Would love to visit again in the summer.

Nice old town square, I only had a bit too much of initiative-inspired younglings chasing me around asking for donations. It kinda cripples the mood, sorry. Too many, some even twice...
Otherwise it was great.. if you can get 5 minutes alone time to take a look around...

Fascinating architecture and an amazing church. The inside is the most ornate I have seen. The altar is nothing short of spectacular. You need to check entry times as this is an active church.

If I come here again, I want to here !!!
And You have to pay to enter the Church.
However, some stores were charged more by foreigners and had high prices with menus that we didn't even add. I feel so bad.😡😡😡😡

It's a tourist attraction and one of the biggest old town squares in Europe. The view was amazing and full of history. This place will tell you how this town became the most important trade route in Europe. Don't miss the trumpet player every hour from the watch tower.

A beautiful and historic square, one of the best I have been to Europe. It is also one of the largest. Especially cool during the Christmas period when there is a market and a large Christmas tree. Has its fair share of people who have had too much drink, homeless people, etc…as in all cities in Europe, but it is a must see if you are visiting Krakow.

Lovely old town of Krakow, the biggest in Europe as well. Definitely worth visiting if you are going to Poland and Krakow. The old church there rings the bells every hour, make sure you listen out for the trumpet player who plays after and see if you can spot them! The cloth hall shops are in the heart of the square as well and a must to visit. Plenty of eating places all around also and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

A beautiful building , a row of arches run right down each side. There are lots of neat little shops that run all the way down the building. Selling a wide range of holiday gifts, toys, glassware, t shirts, knitwear, and lots of other good items. It stands in the centre of market Square. Which is a fabulous sq of buildings with shops, bars, hotels, restaurants and the Bell tower and ClockTower.
We stayed 4 nights and found the restaurants selling fantastic food and drinks at a great price.
Also there's an underground museum that is fantastic and well worth a visit.

Main square that used to be as main market square in the past, its Krakow city’s centre’s heart. Elegant buildings with historical medieval architecture busy day and night time. There are few highlights like Town Hall Tower, St Mary’s Basilica, Cloth Hall and church of St Adalbert. The biggest brand shops, many restaurants , picturesque buildings and beautiful horse carriages.

We had x3 nights, family of 5.
Lovely place and scenery. Very clean.
Did various museums and tours, visited the castle and plenty of interesting cellar bars and restaurants away from the square.
Sad we missed the underground museum in the square. We found this out on our last day and it was shut
Would book some places before you go.

Krakow's central square. You can start your city tour from this point. There are many points of interest, such as the Church of St.Mary. Enjoy the atmosphere!
Krupówki, a renowned street in the city, is a picturesque cobblestone thoroughfare that houses an array of charming shops and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides or peruse art galleries and souvenir shops along this primary artery. At the lower end of the street, small vendors sell locally-made artisanal items such as wooden boxes, linen sweaters, hats, gloves, special leather shoes unique to Zakopane and more.
Nice, especially in winter time 😎

The city located on the Polish side of the High Tatras is worth visiting in any season.
While exploring Zakopane, it's worthwhile to taste local specialties, such as grilled cheeses and the sweet treat "krówka" made from milk caramel.
The old street of Zakopane, adorned with the renowned Krupówki, has gracefully preserved its heritage and cultural legacy over time. Centuries-old buildings, cottages adorned with wood carvings, and enduring stone walls infuse the street with a magical atmosphere. Walking on the quiet cobblestone paths, one can sense the spirit of the past, while the offerings of traditional shops and cafes eerily evoke the ambiance of bygone eras. Zakopane's krówka old street is a place where history and local culture meld, creating an idyllic setting for those who venture to explore.

Krupówki is a vibrant street in Poland, particularly famous in Zakopane. It's like the heart of the town. When you walk along Krupówki, you'll find a lively atmosphere with colorful shops, cozy cafes, and delicious food stalls. It's a food lover's paradise with traditional Polish dishes like pierogi and oscypek cheese readily available.
The best part is the variety. Whether you're in the mood for hearty mountain cuisine or just want to satisfy your sweet tooth with a delightful dessert, Krupówki has it all. The street is also dotted with souvenir shops, making it a great place to pick up some local gifts.

It is a nice downtown. There are many stores and restaurants.
The Wawel Royal Castle Museum is a beautiful and historic site that contains examples of Gothic, Renaissance, Romanesque, and Baroque architecture. It is located on the banks of the Vistula River in Poland and was once the royal residence of kings and queens. The museum is well-maintained and contains many interesting artifacts from Poland's history.
Firstly, please note, this is not located in the correct place, it is actually located within the Castle Courtyard within the building to the left of the State Rooms, I know, I went there several days ago. It is the Crown Treasury and Armoury, see photo of Castle Plan.
Both are worth visiting. The Crown Treasury display is particularly good as it spotlights on the treasures exhibited with darkened room so you don't get back reflection from the glass cabinets.

Beautiful architecture from when Poland was under control by several different cultures can be observed in the domes. Besides the long uphill entrance, the rest of the castle grounds were beautiful. You can also see the "legendary" dragon sculpture breathe fire from above. ;)

6. Romantic place for couples for hand-in-hand walks.

An overly complicated experience. Every part of this place is a separate ticket. We bought tickets for every area in there. Our first place was the cathedral only to be told we needed to buy another ticket for that. Which we didn't get. Then we noticed that on our tickets they had timeslots. Spread over 4 hours ( you can see everything in under an hour), we didn't plan staying that long so we wasted money on tickets for things later in day. This wasn't explained to us when buying tickets. Was a beautiful castle but the ticket system made no sense. It should be buy a ticket and go look at everything you want to see. They would even make more money that way as people aren't always going to see everything there. Gardens are worth a visit if you do go but I for one would never visit it again.
Arran Polhill — Google review
It's worth the visit but nothing special. We went into the cathedral inside which was very nice and the state rooms. You need separate tickets for each building. The state rooms are nothing special, we didn't take the audio guide as it wasn't clear that there was this option and we do regret it. Everything was warm and clean and very well presented and preserved.

It was snowing on this visit, but the architecture and features were still impressive.
You do not need a ticket to tour the grounds, only if you wish to tour the castle rooms, which is done with a guide.
These are extensive and together with the historical explanation of Polish history, make a lengthy and very interesting tour.

As a history enthusiast, visiting the Wawel Royal Castle was a dream come true. This remarkable architectural gem in Krakow, Poland, truly captures the essence of the nation's rich and illustrious past.
Upon arriving at the castle grounds, I was immediately struck by its imposing presence and the sense of history that pervades the air. The intricate details and grandeur of the castle's exterior instantly transported me back in time to an era of kings and queens.
The castle complex boasts stunning gardens and courtyards, offering picturesque views of the Vistula River and the city of Krakow. Strolling through these serene spaces, I felt a sense of tranquility and appreciation for the beauty that surrounds the castle.
The staff at Wawel Royal Castle deserves special mention for their warmth and knowledge. They were always ready to share fascinating stories and historical facts, making the visit even more enriching.
Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful architecture, Wawel Royal Castle is an absolute must-visit. It offers an immersive journey through Poland's past and leaves you with a deep appreciation for the country's cultural heritage. My visit here was an unforgettable experience, and I cannot wait to return someday to continue my exploration of this exceptional historical landmark.

Completely stunning. It is free to enter and walk around the courtyard, then many ticket offices for entry to the various exhibitions and the cathedral around the site. Beautifully restored and colourful with lovely flower displays. We just walked around the courtyard due to a train to catch, but allow a few hours to do it properly. Excellent food options on terraces overlooking the main sites.

I recommend purchasing Wawel: The Most Precious - English guided tour. For 2 hours you will see and learn so many amazing things. From the royal treasury to the armory. Every staff member I talked to was polite and super friendly. Highly recommend visiting this place! Be aware that online tickets are sold for specific day and time, please consider to buy them in advance.

Great place to explore. If you want to see an exhibition, you can chose and pay for the part you are interested in.
The royal rooms were interesting, there could be a little more explanations to the exhibition items.
Expect lots of groups on the weekends, best to go early.

It’s very unusual that I ever feel the need for a bad review on any historical place that I’ve ever visited but here we go. It was just a very frustrating ticketing process with separate payments for literally ten different parts of the castle. We paid for the two main areas plus the tower and spent too much time trying to find them and to be honest weren’t as impressive as some of the free places I’d already visited in Krakow. It just felt wrong and the whole system needs to be scrapped and simplified. One more pet hate of mine is paying for the restroom after you are already a paid to enter guest.
Scouser1965 — Google review
You definitely need some time to spend there because the castle is big and the complex included also the cathedral and the dragons den. The entrance to the grounds is free but in order to get inside you need tickets. I did not visit the interior of the castle as there was a very long queue and did not have much time. If you wish to visit inside you would be advised to book your tickets in advance.

The Castle is very eclectic. Recently I visited early in the morning and was able to enjoy the outside of the castle without a bunch people around. It was very peaceful.
Last year I took the Crown Treasury tour and my group was not a fan. There were rooms we enjoyed and history that was discussed but we obviously chose the wrong tour. It was long and history on objects did not interest us. (At the time, it was the only tour option left)

We had a guided tour, which I'd recommend as we didn't know anything about the castle.

This is an unmissable experience in Kraków. The castle is divided into several different museums and you can just do one or two, but if you want to do more than three it makes sense to buy the all-inclusive ‘Wawel for Enthusiasts’ ticket. It will need four or five hours to do it justice, but it does mean you get to see some of the quieter exhibitions that you might otherwise miss, such as Lost Wawel. The highlights are naturally the state and private apartments, but every museum has something of interest for those who really want to engage with this site in detail. Should additional energy be required, the café-restaurant by the ticket office is very good. Note that the cathedral is a separate ticket paid for by the cathedral entrance.

It is a good way to spend your time. A huge benefit of it is that most of it is actually free. We aren’t the kind of people to be interested in these type of things therefore we’re being quite neutral when it comes to it. It’s a way to spend some time without spending your money unlike other attractions nearby!

If you are ever in Krakow, you must visit the castle. It's a fairly large complex of buildings on top of a hill, the walk up isn't hard as there is a road leading up.
The view from above is great, and guided tours are available for the castle itself. I cannot comment on the tours since I myself didn't do one, but tickets are required.
It's located near other landmarks in the town and it's easy to walk to and from the castle and the old centre.
Verdict: definitely worth the visit
Gubałówka mountain is a magnificent peak that offers hiking trails and a cablecar to the top, from which visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area. Those who prefer to stay on the mountain can relax on Poland's highest beach or take an exhilarating gravitational slide while enjoying spectacular mountain views. Accessing Gubałówka is easy, with options including hiking or taking a gondola lift directly from Krupowki, Zakopane's main street.
Very nice view of the mountains from here. Sometimes the weather changes very quickly and the sun appears for a while, make sure to take pictures :) there is a barbecue there, we had a nice sausage, but a bit pricey, well… I suppose you au for the view 😜

If you don't like crowds, you can also hike up to Gubalowka early in the morning. I was the only soul up there right after sunrise (6am-ish). If you're in good shape, you can make it up to the top in 25 minutes by taking the black trail next to the cable car tracks. It took me 15 minutes to get back down. Everything will be closed up there at that time but you will have it to yourself. Beautiful views!

Part-restored 13th-century fortress with a museum, exhibition gallery in the dungeon, bar & dining.
This is an extraordinary and beautiful castle, straight out of a fairy tale. It has been sensitively preserved, creating good access without spoiling the character or atmosphere, though it's not really suitable for people with mobility problems or who find stairs difficult. Stunning views across miles of countryside can be had from the walls, and there is a bar serving coffee and hot mulled wine.
Julian Griffiths — Google review
Definitely place to visit. Very interesting castle ruins, well maintained. The path can be challenging if you have mobility issues as the staircases are quite narrow and steep and there are few places where steps were carved in rock and can be slippery. But if you are ok with that I recommend to climb the tower and enjoy the walk around this piece of history.

Good place to spend weekend with the family to see around.
But the only problem is there was no a proper public toilet. Which people really need in this kind of touristic place. The council or whoever responsible for this castle should consider to think about build a proper public toilet because the current toilet is really really bad..
Not to mention that you pay a ticket for entering this castle, so at least the customer will get something better not only the view/entertainment of the castle but also the public toilet must be clean and nice.

By the time I left it was getting quite busy. If crowds aren't your thing then go early.

The most beautiful park! We visited for two days and did not want to leave- and we are
all grown adults! There is so much to do there- millions of attractions from very intense to family and relaxed rides! So many amazing food choices and places to sit down and relax. This park has my heart and everyone needs to visit!

A fantastic two days at Energylandia. Fairly quiet so hardly any queues. All areas are extremely well maintained and the rides.... brilliant! Something for everyone and for all ages. Ticket prices are fair and the cost of food and drink in the park is amazing. Can't wait to go back!

The BEST thing to do in Europe! I went on a Mon/Tue in October and the park was decently empty. We were able to ride every ride with almost no waiting time. There are 17 roller coasters here, and besides Viking, they were good! Hyperion and Zadra were amazing! I highly recommend this to everyone. Though the water park was closed at this time of year, it looked great (from the Ferris wheel) as well. With cheap Ryan Air tickets, this park is a must.

I love it. Best day in Poland. 10/10
This park is amazing, it has attractions for all ages. We have been there for the whole day and I still feel that I need to go again to be sure we tried everything and for sure, we will go again. It was really fun and when we visited it, we didn't wait in big lines so we had the opportunity to enjoy everything.

Number one place to go with family and kids. Very neat amusement park. Every corner is just beautiful. Every attraction is nicely engineered for the best experience, safe and operated with care of a staff. It is just a jewel which you would want to rate 10 stars out of 5. ;)
Gintaras Dutkevičius — Google review
Place where you get more than expected. 17 roller coasters!!!
5 of them is that everyone will get scared.
2 of them is super crazy.
And you can't understand - are you scared or you need it one more time.
And a drift show in the middle of all this!!
The territory is huge and new attractions are being built.
Meny places to have lunch.
When we were there, the queues were not long, otherwise it would be tiring.
You can bring your own food and drinks, that's also a plus.
We will definitely be back!!

An amazing park with a lot of great and exciting rides
The place is clean and very beautiful
Great place for children and for adults
Variety of food stands that offer a big selection
We came during the off season on a Tuesday and we had zero lines to all the rides
A great experience all together

Amazing Amusement Park with some of the largest rollercoastrs in Europe. Didn't think going there in the middle of winter would be fun - but with some mulled wine - any ride was great! Loved the way the park was done and this can easily compete with some of the best parks in the world!

Worth every euro. Price is very fair. You should go off season if you can, on a weekday, not weekend.
Hyperion is their best ride. Keep it for the end.

If you want an American quality theme park in Europe, look no further than Energylandia. The sheer quantity and quality of rides blew me away.
The entire theme park is clean and well managed, with some of the most welcoming hosts I’ve ever come across.
Don’t bother bringing a packed lunch with you, the food is reasonably priced and some of the best quality and quantity I’ve ever experienced in a theme park (even those in the States).
Already planning our return

You have to visit this place!! It’s fun for the whole family. We visited it in June and did not have to wait in endless lines for each attraction so it’s better to go off season.

Definitely worth the price if you are in the vicinity. There are lots of attractions and rollercoasters (some of them soak you in water, so be careful), the queues were quite reasonable, when I visited, though this might not apply to weekends and school breaks. I recommend spending at least 4-5 hours here, so you can check out everything you want. The rollercoasters are really well made, the Hyperion is a must in my opinion (if you like fast rollercoasters of course). Would visit again.

Absolutely amazing in the off season, barely any queues, really lovely and clean park. The different parts are great. Just a shame the water park was shut. Worth a go, got the bus there and back... be aware they don't wait around when shipping you on a massive drop!
Jacob Leonard — Google review
It's the best park so far of all i visited around the world.
Attractions are new and fresh staff is friendly. And almost no waiting in lane for the entire stay.
It's worth to mention park's design. You will see no line jumping because it's literally impossible. Lock mechanism is genius you just live your bag on the entrance, then you ride and pick it on the other side. You do not have to remember where you left your items because interactive dashboard will tell you everything. Also lanes design is amazing if you want to ride in first seats there is a dedicated lane just for that.
Logistics are also amazing. You have various ways to get to the park including small carts that will deliver you to the park free of charge.
Prices are good in comparison with other parks. Food is also good. There is a big variety both inside and outside of the park.
Animation is great. Park has some quite good shows which you should visit to have rest from rollercoaster. It's just amazing experience and wonderful time.
I spent about 85 EUR for tickets to the park for 1 day. And another 45 EUR for the food and we didn't really limit ourselves. Regular meal without drinks 10-12 EUR per person.
Of course there is some room for improvement. For example prices are a little high but still they are the most adequate comparing to the other parks. Cinema experience is not too good and feels kinda outdated if you visited 4dx cinema.
The Orava Castle is a restored 13th century hilltop fortress and museum that has withstood battles and fires throughout its history. Its striking appearance, nestled in the midst of forested hills, has been immortalized on film as the setting for Murnau's Nosferatu.
Beautiful castle from the 13th century with an amazing view of the surroundings. We took the tour and were amazed by what we saw: Each room was complete with furnishings, and one could get a very good idea of what was life was like during the time the castle was inhabited. There are also several museum exhibits, from local clothes to movies filmed at the castle. I visit a lot of castles in many countries, and this one is by far one of the best I've visited.
The castle is easily accessible and parking is not a problem. There are several paid parking lots in the immediate area. The traffic can be a lot tough at times, especially during peak hours. There are also several souvenir shops in the area, and the prices were quite reasonable.

Visited by the chance on our way, interesting place , there is an app to download with the possibility to have explanations in your language. We took the Big tour including all the areas for 33.5 euro (2 adults+2 kids), would recommend to take this if you are already getting inside and navigate with the app.
Irit Fetshenko — Google review
Tickets are sold 5 minutes away from the castle down the hill. You are forced to buy a “tour” just to enter the grounds (there is no actual tour).
The “small tour” for 7 euro only gets you entry into the inner courtyard.
“Basic tour” lets you enter the actual castle on the lower level.
And “big tour” lets you go to the top.
Once again, there aren’t actually any tours, just signs showing where you can and can’t go, and a staff member by each door constantly checking your tickets to see if you are allowed into this room or not.
They are truly trying to milk every cent.

Hard to describe in words. The castle is really huge, and full of things to see. It's placed on a rocky hill, and it has several expositions inside (archeological museum, natural history museum, etc). It will take you a few hours to visit and you'll have a great time doing so, very recommendable! There's an audio guide you can install as an app, so you can look around while listening, which is awesome. Adding a ton of pics to the review so you can get a taste

I really enjoyed my visit here. If you dont want to take a guided tour then the app is a very useful tool to use, as you go round you can use the app to talk to you, or you can read the description.
There are 3 different tours depending on how much of the castle you want to visit, and there are about 800 steps in total, so be prepared for some climbing!
Paul Fosberry — Google review
I came on a Friday late morning in June and was so surprised by how few tourists. How lucky for me--the weather was perfect, too. I bought the "big tour" for 16 Euro (including photo-taking) and it was a nice experience. I recommend that you download the audio guide--there is so much to learn about this fascinating, well-maintained historical site.
Some of the signage is confusing. Also, a note of caution: even if you pay the extra 3 Euro to take photos, there are still places where you are prohibited.
There are a lot of people working here, but they seem to be more concerned about checking your type of ticket and monitoring you like you're going to do something wrong, than actually helping you. However, I will say that the woman who works in the armory exhibit was the highlight of my visit. She was SO kind and friendly, I could hardly believe it! I don't speak Slovak but I used Czech, and she didn't mind at all (unlike most everyone else in town who seems to be offended by this). She and I talked and talked, and she even gave me advice about a folklore festival in Podbiel, as well as about the Dracula film.
I'm giving 5 stars because of this lovely woman who really made me feel welcome!

Awesome castle, I recommend to reserve at least 2 hours to visit. Guided tour, which takes you to the highest part of the castle is totally worth it.
It can be challenging for some people to go all the way up by the stairs, but if you can manage a short walk in the hills, you can manage this without problems.
You need to book your tickets in advance for a specific time, couple of days in advance is enough.

An amazing castle. Beautiful, historic, memorable. A must for castle lovers.
Not as much solid information as you’d like and despite everything being called ‘tour’ it just means you can access certain areas. Some reconstruction so some parts closed now (highest parts).
We had to wait five minutes in certain areas as guides took a huge group of 50+ people up single stairways at a time. Poor planning.

Absolutely gorgeous medieval caste with authentic chambers and breathtaking views on the surrounding mountains and villages. No actual organized tours and times to enter: The tickets sold 5 mins walk from the castle and one can select from the 3 options. One can then enter at any time after ticket is purchised. Paid parking lot is available nearby the castle for 7 euros / car.

A must see. Beautifully renovated buildings and arranged museum rooms.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp is one of the most notorious sites of the Holocaust. It contains displays of gas chambers, and remains almost completely intact. It is essential to visit both Auschwitz I and Birkenau in order to truly understand the horror of the place.
A must see in Poland. There is so much history here. It's a much more real experience to see the remnants first hand than to learn about it in school.
Garrett Descoteaux-Friday — Google review
It's worth going here to get some understanding of the scale and suffering that Jews and others had handed out by the Nazis during their time in power.
Walking around the camp just shows what man can do to fellow man. The suffering and death on an industrial scale.
The museum does well to preserve the past so we don't forget.
There is a lot of walking involved so plan ahead especially if you take a guided tour as they move quickly but do give you lots of information about the camp and the people who went through the gates, many for the last time.

I am giving five stars mainly due to the fact that many people and organisations have taken concrete steps to ensure people don't forget what happened here during WWII. This place is a reminder of the darkest side of human nature, to torture and kill another human for the heck of it..
I would recommend this visit to everyone, and to soak in the history that took place not so long ago.
Rajan Thambehalli — Google review
It feels wrong to mark your experience as "loved it" for such a somber trip. It is however a trip everyone should make at least once in their life. Soon people who survived this horror will not be among us. It's important we remember and never let something like that happen again.

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.

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.

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
Jasna Góra monastery in Poland is a renowned spiritual site that was established by the Paulite order from Hungary in 1382. The hill on which it stands, Jasna Gora, is considered as the country's spiritual capital. It houses several remarkable sacred artworks apart from the celebrated Icon of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa. Pilgrims visit this shrine to witness miracles attributed to this painting in Lady Chapel, although there are other notable attractions too.
Beautiful place, I love it. The services are very often and also in different languages. Car park by the road next to monastery costs 7.2 zł (1.5£) per 3 hours. You can also eat very good food not far from the monastery. We ate at Kredens and food was delicious. It is 3 min walk from main monastery gate.

The sanctuary of Jasna Góra is a meeting place for Christians of a large part of Europe. It does not matter which time it is, it is always crowded. The sanctuary and the church are beautiful, and the guided visit is very instructive. Anything you would like to know will be answered by them. It is near the centre of Częstochowa, and is located in the most beautiful area of the city, being the sanctuary the highlight of it. A compulsory visit if you go to Częstochowa.

Nikiszowiec, a famous area with a rich history, is renowned for its redbrick flats. These were constructed as part of an organized housing estate for laborers and include green spaces, commercial centers, and educational establishments. The St. Anne's Church features ornate domes made of tiles and a grand pipe organ in baroque style. Furthermore, the Industrial Ethnography Museum showcases replica mining lodgings from Katowice.
The Forest Park of Surprises in Ustron is a captivating open-air zoo where visitors can encounter roaming deer, bison, and various species of wild animals. The park offers raptor and owl shows that are both breathtaking and educational. Families often gather here to spend quality time together, enjoying the scenic views and interacting with the wildlife. Visitors can also explore numerous attractions while communing with the animals of Polish forests.
We liked this place a lot. You can just stroll with animals and feed them. No cages)) Plus there’s an amusement area for children.

The park is beautifully situated on a mountain slope, roe deer wandering freely, which you can feed and wonderful views - these are the advantages. Cons - tickets are definitely too expensive for this type of attractions, no markings, and the plan received at the entrance is not legible, the playground remembers the previous era and should be restored. Alley of fairy tales - a nightmare that you don't want to dream of. Definitely not suitable for the elderly and handicapped people and for prams.

Nice cheap day out for the family, two flying displays, owls and other birds of prey. Lots of animals running wild in the park, goats, deer and alpacas. A small amusement park in the summer with games for the kids and places to. Bar and hot food served at the top of the park all year around. Good wholesome day out feeding the goats and donkey.

Great experience with my family even on a rainy day. The birds of pray show was breathtaking and the beautiful forrest animals we saw were already worth the ticket price. Additionally, the stuffed animal and antlers display was very informative and you can touch. Did not expect to see the racoons. :-) Other than that the carousels were dismantled in winter and the fairytale display a bit dated, but it gave us a laugh. We used up the whole bag of the feed purchased at the gate feeding some hungry deers.
Warning: To get there you have to hike up along unpaved road, or find a parking spot, which due to the building site works are limited.
Pro tip: Hotel Diament two streets below is a delicious gourmet spot for lunch/dinner afterwards.

Great place for family, not a place for trolley. flying events are on the clock, but both were at least 10min late.

It's a really great place to visit and experience wild animals from a close distance. Most of the time it is overrun with millions of children, but this is worth visiting even for adults.
The only thing I really did not like was the birds chained closely to be presented to viewers. Personally for me it was a sad view not entertaining. But the rest looks OK and animals seem to have a lot of space to roam around.

It's not too long to go through, along you can meet animals walking around the place freely. They even allow you to buy some food to give it to them along the way.

a great place to spend time with your loved ones. the possibility of communing with animals of our Polish forests. animals have already become accustomed to visitors and, above all, to children. the part with birds and the show of flying predators deserve attention. for PLN 32 per person, you can spend a nice day. When choosing a place, remember a few important things: good, comfortable shoes, because walking is a lot steep and rocky. if you are going with small children do not take the pram. downside is the waiting time at the checkout. the owner should take care of more bandwidth. I highly recommend this place.
Ostrava Zoo is home to over 3000 animals, featuring a variety of species such as bears and elephants. The zoo also boasts a petting area and playgrounds for kids. Educational posters and activities line the trails, providing visitors with an enriching experience. The enclosures appear to prioritize the welfare of the animals, although some may benefit from more space. Visitors can purchase food and drinks at various small shops throughout the zoo's expansive grounds.
Fantastic place for spending few Hours during weekend. Great variety of animals in beautifully arranged displays and green areas. Playgrounds and shaded areas are giving a break time during sightseeing. Some restaurants and snack bars (expensive). Greatly recommend for families.

Nice zoo with a lot of animals and trees and a very big place to explore. The only bad thing was that they didn't answer to the phone and we couldn't see some animals because the zoo was under construction and they didn't say that in the entrance...Except from that the zoo was super and love the red panda's.
El — Google review
The zoo was nice and the animals were beautiful. The 3 stars rating comes more from the fact that there is a lot to walk but not a lot to see.
More importantly the enclosures for the more exotic animals were quite small and some of the animals were just alone. Like the lioness, the lion and a leopard.... All alone in small enclosures, apart from the lion who had a bit more space but still alone.
This caused them to be quite stressed in my opinion as they were pacing non-stop.
Overall great for kids first zoo experience but an adult will pick up on these not so great things.

By the opinions I've read I would think it's a very friendly zoo for animals; that theirs cages are big and spacious, well kept and tidy. Tbh I was quite disappointed with what I saw and would not visit it anymore. Nice way to spend time but if you care at least a bit about animals it's not a place you would sponsor.
Tickets are cheap, there are some coffee shops and a restaurant in there, lots of WC and an extra paid, short safari route by one of the runs.

It is a nice zoo to visit but it is quite small. Couldn't find some animals that were supposed to be rhere. I think due to some maintenance of their areas. Food places are not that great and it's a terribly long wait time before we were served (40min) u Pandy.

This zoo is huge, we spent 5 hours here. So much greenery, most of the time it felt as if walking in a forrest. Loved the red pandas. Would definitely recommend to visit.
Lots of playgrounds for the kids, benches and water fountains everywhere. There are also lots of zoo maps along the pathways.
You can save some time at the cashier by buying online tickets - they will scan the at the gate.
Bus 104 goes to the zoo from the center, very easy to get there also by car, they have a large parking lot (i think it is paid).

A nice day out at the zoo with 3 kids and a baby, somewhat spoilt by the bad weather (not the zoo's fault) but the rude staff in the ticket office and the ones flying around the paths in the electric buggies (when there are small kids about).
Still we enjoyed seeing what we could and some of the animals were really exciting for the kids
Also felt you were a lot closer to them, in places, with bamboo poles used instead of perspex glass

Great place to visit: either with kids, the whole family or just by yourself. Plenty to see and to explore . One day it's not enough and I will definitely come back to see some stuff I was not able to check on my day of the visit. Apart from all the exotic animals and environment there is a playground for kids to have some fun and plenty of places to sit down and rest too. A lot of shops with food and drinks around the whole zoo. If you have never been here and you are around it is worth your time. Generally great place !

Since we went on a Thursday morning in August during peak season, admission was higher than other months. It cost 260 CZK for both of us to go. Not a bad price for a potentially all-day outing.
The zoo is spread out either long trails that go through woods. That means you’ll walk for minutes without seeing any animals.
The animals themselves are organized around houses where you can walk inside to see them or venture outside since the cages expand to the outside in most cases. They have monkeys, hippos, giraffes, birds, fish, and all the other usual suspects.
Where they stand out are the play areas throughout the zoo with the biggest playground being near the entrance.
There are enough restrooms and snack areas.

In my view "garden with animals" would convey the experience which you get. Take the picking package and you will experience even more.
Brilliant spot for the whole day with friends or family. If you desire time for yourself you will also find parts of the garden quiet and private.

We went from Poland to Ostrava Zoo and it was really so nice pig parking and you not wait long to get the tickets for enter .. inside they give you map for the zoo and it’s help you because the zoo it’s really big…you will found many places for rest and for WC and they some restoring if you want eat or drink something… there’s places for kids they can play …the only thing they need to add more animals ..but was really nice day
Opole Zoo is a large conservation-focused zoo located on an island in the River Oder, in the capital city of Opole, Poland. The zoo houses over 600 animals from around the world, including iconic species like lions, tigers, and elephants, as well as various birds, reptiles, and primates. Visitors appreciate the spacious and well-organized layout of the zoo with wide paths and open spaces. Many also praise its modern facilities and beautiful water features.
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

Great place with different animals. Nevertheless, due to some construction work, it is hard to find a correct path. Signs on the way are inconclusive. I tried to look for and read each signs. I was going round circles for about 15 minutes.

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.

Very cool place, the walk around guide gets a little confusing but we got to see everything, you gotta prepare for a lot of walking if you wanna visit! The animals were kept in really cool environment, they all seemed healthy and happy. The atmosphere was perfect, it's also pretty cheap so would recommend for a whole day trip.

A wonderful little zoo which is perfect for families and is well-organized, modern and features a decent array of animals including Gorillas and Tapirs. It is also very affordable and you can see nearly everything within about 2-hours. A great day out - highly recommended!

I loved it! Great selection of animals. Clean environment, organised route to follow but not a necessity, lots of open spaces.
It looks very well though throught. Its not laid in concrete all over. The paths are wide and even. Both food points and toilets are spread evenly across the whole area.
Looking forward to see the new aquatic lifeforms building next year.

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.

Really pleasant and well laid out zoo. There is a wide variety of animals here and it's well worth a visit.
Old-world rooms & suites in an 18th-century castle offering a genteel restaurant & a spa area.
Wow! A completely fairy-tale castle, just across the border with Czech. They are still renovating the outside at the moment, but it will be gorgeous when the summer comes around. It was free to walk the grounds and enter the main part of the castle, but there will be paid for guided tours in the summer.

Instructions for parking at arrival could be more clear and more organized. The park is very well taken care of and it's a great place to relax. The castle is not as accient as expected but the tour is beautifully arranged and even the tools of online guide and explanation help understand the history and an addition to the whole experience.

There is nothing historical in this place. Don’t recommend to go inside. There is nothing special or authentic. Everything is poorly arranged and decorated not in the style of the original design. Paintings on walls are just awful! Worst way to spend 46 zł. Better to take a ticket only to park zone access.

Guess I was lucky. Booked a single room and got one in the renovated parts of the castle that resembles modern low tier business hotels. The room itself was small but cozy. Everything was spotless and clean. WiFi reception is brilliant.
The hotel and castle give mixed feelings. You can clearly see that it’s a “work in progress”. Given that through the years management is constantly improving on everything it’s fair to say that this place deserves a good grade.
There is no modern day elevator that covers every floor. The rooms are scattered all over the place: I had trouble navigating through the corridors to find my place.
The breakfast menu was very good. Including vegan and gluten free foods.
Hotel staff is helpful and responsive.
It’s not ideal that in order to get to the parking spot one needs to get out of the vehicle in order to press a button to call reception desk. Imagine that in a pouring rain…
It’s promising and I hope it will get to a point were all of the pieces fall into place and this will offer a boutique style experience. It has potential.

I had a meeting with this hotel last month and it was a pleasure. The staff was very warm and the catering service was top notch. I had the best time at the party hall for my friends birthday party.

Get the feeling you’re in Disneyland without going all the way to France. About a 90 minute drive from Wrocław, it’s definitely a good place for a day or weekend trip. There’s a substantial park around the castle, included with a lake. Great place to relax and wind down.

This is a place for those who love Harry Potter or are interested in seeing a fantasy castle. You shouldn't miss this place. Half of the castle is a tourist attraction, and the other half is a hotel where you can stay for as long as you want.
This castle has small shops at the entrance where you can buy souvenirs. The entrance ticket is 38 zloty per person. This ticket includes a castle and garden, which I think is a scam. You also have to pay for parking around 10 zloty.
Overall, this place is a must visit.

We were there for an excursion and dinner, not stayed in the hotel. Fairytale 19th century castle with partially hotel and partially museum with restaurant and cafe.

The back looks great but the fountain is also not working. I was told they will complete the renovations by December 2022. The inside is amazing, but very few original pieces survived after Soviets destroyed everything. Still a great place to visit. I will definitely go back in 2023!

This castle with its 99 towers really looks like a fairytale. Surrounded by a vast area with old trees and a playing fountain, it makes a huge impression on visitors. The castle is actually a palace that belonged to the Tiele-Winckler family. The castle survived World War II, but during the occupation by the Soviet Army, the interiors were destroyed and many paintings and sculptures were taken away. Now the castle is open to the public. A hotel and restaurant have been operating here since 2013.

Superb place for a visit, castle has been renovated and it gives, looks like from fairy tale. Tour is not long, would say it takes an hour but it's worth it, some rooms are massive and give a scale how this place used to be.
Park and fountain are another gems: there is even a music. Very clean, polite service, they even have restaurant inside if you are into having a meal in posh - and I mean it - environment, but didn't have time to do it.
Highly recommend.

While planning for visiting this castle didn't expect a lot. When arrived to the parking lot there were many tourists, which is the good sign of the popularity of this place. Castle is renovated few years ago, some works are still continue at backyard. It looks really nice. Different architecture styles, good park for short walk. Cafe and restaurant inside of the building. Part of the castle is functioning as a hotel. Lovely place to spend few hours.

I didn't stay at the hotel but visited the garden and the rooms.
The castle is very beautiful however be aware that the walls are not stones but an imitation with concrete. The few rooms available for visit are nice despite many decorations for Harry Potter events might bother you if you were more interested in the historical side if the castle. The gardens are very nice to have a walk, and the grass around the fontains perfect to chill
Clément Masson — Google review
I am allowing for the fact it is an old castle building however the beds should be made up but weren’t, the mattress was stained! the garden area while told it was open eventually was unlit and only accessible via the front door, there was no bin or fridge in the room and no ventilation / fan supplied. Service was also poor as originally told the garden was closed but then it was open if I was only drinking 🤷♂️ the castle itself and grounds should mean it is a great place to stay however I would 100% avoid as accommodation.
The Wrocław Africarium is a large zoological garden and oceanarium that contains exhibits of over 1,000 different animals from Africa. It is one of the oldest working zoos in Poland, and open all year round. The zoo also has an exhibit devoted to the flora and fauna of the Dark Continent, which are unique on an international scale.
A excellent place to spend with your family; The kids loved it; Various animals and everything is so near, you think you can touch the animals by hand; the Zoo is arranged very cleverly and the numerous signs everywhere help you find everything conviniently and enjoy your visit; The price is not cheap - but it is worth the money;

A part of Wrocław ZOO (you can go in on a regular ZOO ticket). It's really worth it. There are tunnels inside aquariums, hippos, seals and free birds flying around. Mind you it's meant to mimic African climate so it's hot and humid inside. If I were to complain about something it's that the modern building doesn't really fit the historical buildings in the rest of the ZOO

Huge zoo and well worth the money spent for a ticket. Lots of animals and facilities, the flora was also very impressive. You can spend a whole day there.

Our visit to the Wroclaw Africarium with my family was an unforgettable experience filled with wonder and excitement.

The overall planning is good. There are some facilities to assist children and drinking water. Although some enclosures are empty or under renovation, it does not affect the knowledge about animals conveyed here, and it can be seen that the animals are well taken care of. I really like the pavilion of cold-blooded animals and mimicry, but it was a pity that it closed too early and I couldn't finish it.

This is a must-see spot for people travelling to Wrocław with their family. The transportation by tram is easy from the city center. The building is right by the ZOO’s entrance. It houses all kinds of fish, mammals, birds and reptiles. There is a large seal and pinguin sanctuary. The restaurant resembles a passenger ship and offers a nice top view to see the penguins. It can get crowded on weekends. It is definetely worth checking out. Kids love it!!!!

We've spent literally hours there and I would gladly spend even more time.

The Africarium in Wrocław adds another layer of excitement to the city's zoo experience!
This specialized section immerses visitors in the wonders of African aquatic life. With a separate admission fee, it's a unique opportunity to explore marine ecosystems showcasing African flora and fauna. The interactive exhibits, informative displays, and vibrant marine life contribute to an educational and visually stunning journey.
Whether you're fascinated by underwater worlds or simply seeking a captivating extension to your zoo visit, the Africarium is a must-see attraction in Wrocław.

A bit crowded, best part of Wroclaw Zoo without this one probably I would count the visit as mistake. All water attractions looks a bit dirty - don’t know if it’s a matter of water or dirty glass. Should be addressed by Staff as it breaks animal experience for everyone. Under aquarium tunnel and under water windows makes great experience - zoo should somehow control amount of people- crowds all over this attraction makes difficult any movement around.

Very clean ZOO with great aquarium. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the water and glass. The part where you can sit and just relax is a great idea. Though not sure how it will be during busy times. Definitely will recommend everyone to visit. For sure, nothing is perfect, but I left with 5 star feeling. Haven't eaten there.

Some places of the zoo are really nice and animals look well taken care of, but we were disappointed with the monkeys. They were all stressed, angry or depressed looking, and that building where there is one old chimpanzee sitting behind bars on a bathroom like floor is really sad. Looks like zoos from the 60s or something. This Zoo definitely needs more reconstructions and enrichment for animals. Please don't let those poor monkeys suffer.

It's such a huge zoo that it took me 4 hours to get around it completely...I highly recommend going on Friday to see the wolves before 12:00 noon! Because we were not warned and didn't see them there. You should also get your tickets online because there are long lines.

Definitely the best zoo I have ever visted, the size of this location is massive meaning that there is a lot to visit and see. It's one tram away from the center of the city and takes you directly to the front entrance.
There is an entering free but definitely worth the visit. As many of my photos suggest there was a lot to take in, and even then I was only able to see half the zoo leaving the other half for my next visit.
Dave Duesberry — Google review
A lovely day at the zoo.
Lots to navigate and a delicious finale at the bistro.
It seems most animal are well cared for, with the exception of some with small areas to roam. The birds seem distressed and unhappy and I think the monkeys are plotting a coup to overthrow the management staff.
Otherwise, a lovely experience.

Kłodzko Fortress, constructed during the mid-17th century under Austrian rule, is the largest and most well-preserved fortification of its kind in Poland. The fortress covers 17 hectares and boasts walls that measure up to 11m thick in some areas. It has a rich history and offers visitors underground tunnels, night tours, historical re-enactments, and cannon displays.
Interesting place for 1h walk. Parking 4 zl/h at entrance or free around. Amazing how massive walls were hundreds years ago.

Szczeliniec Wielki, located in the Table Mountains, offers a thrilling hiking experience with its intricate rock formations and well-maintained trails.

If you’re looking for a super good hike and an incredible view from the highest point of the Table Mountains, Szczeliniec is the place to go. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting this intense of a hike when my friend’s grandmother took us on a visit to Poland (but, to be fair, I’m also pretty out of shape). Within the first five minutes, I thought I was dying and the remaining hike up to the peak was a blur.
Once you recover physically, and scrape up the last remains of your dignity after having a 70+ year old who climbs this trail once a week he’ll drag you up the last 100 or so metres, the view is 100% worthwhile. You overlook the Czech Republic, and Stołowe National Park. There’s also a little chalet up there, where you can grab a drink and snack before making the (much, much easier) descent back to the base.

Książ Castle, the largest castle in Lower Silesia, is a grand chateau-style complex situated on a hill overlooking the river Pelcznica and part of the Waldenberg mountains. Originally built in 1288 and expanded in the 16th century, it showcases Gothic, Baroque, and Rococo architectural styles. The castle offers guided tours with informative audioguides that seamlessly lead visitors through its rich history and art gallery.
This is a lovely castle, with a lot of history. Much of the interiors are unadorned compared to what they were, but the setting is stunning. It feels like stepping back in time, especially in the fall. There are paths to walk the grounds and access from the road is simple and scenic.

This is a beautiful castle with a lot of history. When you go in and purchase the ticket they give you several options one with the tour of the Underground included and I would recommend going that route as the tour underground is also very good. They will give you an audio guide that will walk you through the whole castle and give you the history and events that transpired through the years. The tour takes about the proximately 2 hours to complete with the audio guide and I like the way they set up their audio guide as you can skip ahead to something that interests you a little bit more which is a nice touch. The audio guide is location based. There is so much to see here and what I especially liked was the turn of the century pictures of everyday life. Some of the places in have amazing views of the surrounding Countryside and of the Immaculate Gardens. The gardens around the castle are just beautiful unfortunately the day I was there it was raining.

Also with the underground tour, we didn't feel left out with the audioguide. All in all a very fun, informative day. Definitely worth a visit!

Castle Ksiaz... there are a lot of things which I can write here about this castle. But surely it is just impossible to tell all interesting things about this castle here.... it is much better to open Wiki or other sources and read, there is a lot of interesting information including medieval history, Hitler's "golden trains" and many others. Or you must come, take an audio guide (included into entrance fee) and see & listen.... there are a lot of very interesting stories, there are many unsolved secrets even now. Enjoy the castle, the subterranean, the magical terraces...

The price of the ticket is worth paying. Huge area to see. They gave an audio guide that automatically switches while you changing different halls. The audio guide is available in a few foreign languages. Parking is overpriced: next to Castle the price is 30 pln, further - 20 pln. And when you enter the castle there is a toilet with an entrance fee - 5 pln, which in my humble opinion should be included in the price of the ticket. Overall it is a great place to spend a day with a family or loved ones.

We just visited the castle from outside as we didn't have enough time to go for a tour. There's an individual or combined ticket for castle, palm house and the undergrounds. Car parking is not free after the security guard, unless you're visiting the castle hotel. You can park it in the open parking space before the security guard for free. There is an ice cream shop near the castle which is a necessity in hot summers. Not sure if there's any restaurant though. There's a small vertical sprinkler through which you can go to refresh yourself in hot weather. You can visit Viewpoint too, which is a small walk type trek for 15 minutes. There's a fresh corn stick seller, each for 8 PLN. You can bring park stuff (mats, food, play items etc) also for relaxation. There are a lot of gardens and you can sit anywhere. The place is definitely worth a day trip.

I didn't enjoyed a lot the castle interiors, but from the outside it's probably the most beautiful castle I've ever seen. At the moment they have a very interesting photo exebition of the last chef. And nice cafe inside the castle (unfortunately you can visit it only when you are visiting the castle interiors, when we wanted to have a coffee there the next day after excursion, we were told that we should by ticket to the castle)

A self-paced tour of the castle was amazing! I was lucky to visit right before the Christmas decorations were going to be taken down, so it was twice the awe and pleasure.
Everything is so nicely organised, with the cheerful staff meeting you at the ticket desk, and then - second surpise with the Polish museums on this trip - a cloakroom employee kindly offering me a Ukrainian audio guide. Great thanks to the Castle team!
The exhibitions are a wonderful combination of the family history of the castle owners, of the Polish and world history impacting Ksiąz and its residents, and some terrific works of art.
It is also very efficient to have a "smaller tour" and a "broader tour with the family stories", so that you can choose what to listen to, also in terms of time available.
I listen to everything and loved it.
I learned a lot about the underground of Ksiąz and visited the Palm Garden 5-min drive away from the Castle (included in the ticket), with a huge collection of plants.

Beautiful big castle. You can use audio guide which is awesome and you don't have to go with big group. There is also photos exhibition. The inside of the castle looks more modern then usuall, furniture is from the beginning of the 20th century etc. so I could imagine the life here.
I recommend to visit underground with ww2 interesting history, too.
We were there on Saturday and it wasn't crowded so much.

We Visited Ksiaz Castle in Mid of May, a very enjoyable and memorable trip. It’s really a Beautiful Castle 🏰❤️
As, I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 we don’t have such Castle so visiting this place for me was exceptional experience. 😊
Adršpach-Teplice Rocks is a nature reserve featuring impressive sandstone rock formations, perfect for tours and rock climbing. The rocks were formed 85 million years ago under the Cretaceous sea, making it feel like a prehistoric wonderland. Visitors can explore clearly marked paths and enjoy the stunning beauty of nature. In winter, the area can be slippery but still worth visiting, while in summer, it's an ideal place to cool down.
Absolutely worth visiting. The Rocks are beautiful and the paths are clearly marked and mostly easily accessible even for inexperienced visitors. You can use a paid parking nearby. There are some eateries, gift shops and a free WC at the entrance.
It will take you 15-30 min to go around the lake and 1-1.5h to go the main route (of course depends on your pace).

The feeling was like in a circus with clowns, crazy rules that prevent people from enjoying nature, half-witted grandfathers are running around everywhere and writing fines to people on plain paper, because they have become where they were not allowed 🤦♂️ the entrance has an unjustified price, for this money they do nothing there! If you climb out once a year from your apartment, then this option is for you, all you can do is walk along the path, where they allowed! Nature here 5/5

It is slippery in winter so be careful, especially on the staircases but it is truly worth it! I can’t wait to return and visit this in summer sometime and explore a little further 😍
Wang Church is a 12th-century wooden church that was originally located in Norway and later transported to Karpacz, Poland in the 19th century. The church's architecture resembles Viking longships, adding to its historical and cultural significance. Visitors can also explore the picturesque Karkonosze National Park nearby, known for its rare plant and animal species as well as breathtaking landscapes.
Historical landmark worth visiting, the square holds a few things to look at and the church is worth visiting inside where a tour is given and information about its origin. It is not free and it costs 2 PLN to walk around the square alone or 10 PLN to also enter the church. The tickets can be bought at the shop near the gate entrance.

The best Norse church you can see in Poland! Formerly a church in Norway from early middle ages moved to Karpacz and built again in 19th century. The area is very nice, although packed with tourists and entrance to church is paid. However the adjacent cemetery is really nice and the sights from the hill to the valley and mountains too. A must see when visiting Karpacz.

Very nice old wooden church, originally from 12th century Norway, transplanted to Poland, lovely old details remain, cozy ambiance, comfortable place for quiet reflection. The grounds offer a little bit more to see and ponder, one or two memorials, an old graveyard and an excellent panoramic view. Good visit.
Czocha Castle is a 13th-century castle that has been transformed into a dramatic hotel, offering classic rooms and free breakfast. With over 125 rooms, the castle hosts numerous events and provides a rustic yet charming ambiance. The friendly staff and on-site market add to the overall atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a tasty restaurant, cafe, and even sample honey mead. The castle's beautiful location offers great views and a medieval vibe inside.
Outstanding medival castle. Great interior and view and nice sightseeing. There is a hotel in castle so you can have a rest before your next trip. It's said on the web site that there are night tours but haven't found the date when it is.

This castle is a larpers paradise! With over 125 rooms, I imagine they host a lot of events. We loved the compound and loved that you could stay the night at the castle. It’s a little rustic but that’s part of the charm that make this authentic and interesting. The overall ambiance was fantastic. Everyone was helpful and friendly, and there was a market on site as well that added to the ambiance. There is a tasty restaurant and a cafe on site. We were introduced to the honey mead, which was quite nice. Also the castle beer is a must try - very smooth with hints of citrus. Wish I had brought some home with me.

Fantastic place. A good day if you are in the vicinity. They serve okay food and have really nice rooms. The castle is well kept and renovated. It's a treat to see all the rooms and if you're lucky you can see some of the secret passages behind the secret Doors 😯 and if you have enough money you can rent the whole castle, which is very cool 😯

Great castle. But there is a big "but". Only guided tours allowed and you see not that much of the famous castle. The tour is very long (over 1h) for what you see, not available in English. First room - 15min talk. The tour guide closes with advertising restaurant and whatnot. I don't pay for advertising. Given we drove 1h to get there I find it was not worth it.

As a hotel it should disappear as *** hotel - it’s just not what people are expecting when they’re here. Quality and cleanliness don’t exist.
In regards to castle as a museum - it has stopped in time 30 years ago. Staff is unfriendly and rude, besides instead of doing job which were paid for - they preferred discussing political choices. It’s disgusting and disappointing to have staff trying to control or convince people who came to visit a castle to specific political orientation.
Sorry it’s a red flag.

One of the most interesting castles I’ve been so far. It’s so beautiful, exteriors and interiors, there were some secret doors I found when I was there🤪🤪🤪Spent the night in the castle felt exciting yet scary at the same time when you went for the night tour visit with awesome way of storytelling from the staff. The atmosphere was indescribable, you can see it for yourselves, I highly recommend the night tour guide for this castle and you can thank me later 😉 but one thing I would change is that there’s English version of the story so it would be even more fascinating for me 🥰🥰🥰

Liberec Zoo is an impressive zoo that features rare-species breeding programs and exciting activities such as sea lion and penguin feeding times, as well as elephant training. The star attraction of this zoo is its special white tigers, which are definitely worth seeing if you're in town. Although the animals have rooms that may seem smaller than expected, it's important to remember that this is still a zoo. Visitors can easily spend two hours exploring the various exhibits on display.
Lovely zoo with many interesting animals. The Entry fee is really low. Can recommend planning to visit again this year

We visited this zoo with our 2 kids. The entrance price is very affordable (€5,- for adults) and the zoo itself looks nice with lots of trees.

There are 2 play ereas for the kids. Both are fun and looks neat.

Very nice zoo with special white tigers - the main attraction. Definitely worth visiting while in town. You can spend there like 2 hours. The cats seems to have a smaller rooms that I would expected. That’s actually similar for all animals here - you would think they should have more space but yeah, it’s a zoo 🤷🏼♂️ there is only one restaurant and one cafe so when visiting during weekend the line was ridiculous.

This is the oldest zoo in Czech republic, and it shows. It's not big like some other zoos, so you can see it all in 2-3 hours. The location is beautiful, with hillside paths, natural stream and the lake. The animals are well kept, even though during the winter many of them are confined to small enclosures or even absent at all.
Roman Kovbasjuk — Google review
The only reason I am giving 3 stars is the fact that animals are in horrible small cages and pens. Animals are looking bored and sad. Specially elephants, which are the most smart and sensitive mammals , I seen the same elephants in the same small yard even after 13 years that's the time when I visited zoo last time. They are still there at same small place, looking very sad, why you don't swipe their yard after few years with some other animal? Just to keep their mind busy, to explore and to be happy ? I have seen 1 elephant repeatly doing one move with head and front legs which is sympton of nervosity and psychical problems . Other one was lions and tigers behind the glass, no grass no space to run or jump on the trees . Yes it's nice to see them, so you keep them on eyes, but behind a glass and such a small place ? We will understand if we don't see them, just let them be more free . They have no privacy no relax just stress . Monkey at photo was also pretty bored, I think if he got some hay or some bedding will be more soft and fun for him to play in it.
Zoo also looked kinda dirty in yards with animals, and stinky a lot more like in other's zoo's. Otherwise I like that zoo, there is a lot of things for kids to do, a lot of animals but I feel sorry for small yards .
Martina Bajusova — Google review
When we first found out about the zoo, we didn't expect much from it, since the ticket prices were really low (6€ for adults, 5€ for students!!).
BUT WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!! This Zoo is large, we spent 2 ½ hours here and were running out of time by the end!
Very very very nice place, it has so many animals and the terrain and location are really nice. Most of the animals are kept in relatively animal friendly enclosures, there were many baby animals, showing that the animals living there are content.
There are several smaller and bigger playgrounds for children to enjoy, most of the zoo is wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Staff is very friendly, even though they do not really speak foreign languages, they will try their best to communicate. I loved it!
Only thing I wished for were more languages on the signs explaining the animals, they were only in Czech but I don't blame them. The animal names were written also in English, German, and another language I can't remember right now.
Overall great experience, I had a truly wonderful day!!!
Pravčická Archway, a stunning natural sandstone formation, is a popular scenic site that requires a 5km uphill walk from the paid parking or bus stop. The entrance fee is around 4 EUR and credit cards are accepted. The area offers good amenities and breathtaking views, making it perfect for a sunny day excursion. However, it may not be ideal during windy or rainy weather due to its exposed location.
Very beautiful place, even in winter time, quite easy to reach even for kids. Absolutely amazing view and very interesting geological case, plus you can get a coffee right under the gate. A small gallery, where you can find impressive photos of the place in different seasons of the year is worth of visiting too.

Long uphill walk of about 5km to get there from the paid parking or bus stop. Good condition needed. About 4 EUR to get in (credit card accepted). Good amenities. Still somewhat reasonable prices. Don't buy sugary drinks; the wasps will enjoy it ... You probably not. Stunning views around, so allow for over half an hour once inside to get to each of them and enjoy the view. Great for a sunny day. Likely not for windy days with rain, as the views are really out in the open.
Erwin Kerstens — Google review
An excellent spot for some walking! The place offers a beautiful nature and the building itself is also interesting. Plus there is a lot of small paths on the top of the hill so a person spends some time there. The entrance ticket to the top of the hill and actually the building costs about 100 Kč so it's more like symbolic price and I gladly paid it to keep the place in a good shape.
If there is normally some restaurant at the place, it was closed. Instead of that, there was a food window outside with the some snacks, but also with warm meals. I appreciated that, since the weather outside was still cold at time of my visit and it was very handy to eat something warm. Another thing that I appreciated was that the menu was both in Czech and German, as the majority of tourists speak at least one of these two languages.
It's real shame that the national park burned down from a big part in the previous year. Fingers crossed that the nature and the trees regenerates over the next few years.

It was a 1.5h hike for me, but the view was totally worth it!! Very unfortunate that some parts of the forest got burnt some time ago, but the arch and the rest of the view were breathtaking. Highly recommended :) the ticket was 80czk for adults and 40czk for students (show isic) They closed at 4pm. The restaurant up there was very reasonably priced as well surprisingly, considering that the place is very touristic and very high up on the hills

Impressive hike to do specially during the winter. Being reward with the largest natural arch in Europe is certainly worthy the difficulty to park at the beginning of the hike.
The whole hike was pretty stepped to do but nothing extraordinary.
There's a Restaurant at the top, on a very nice building but it closes too soon during winter time, so we couldn't get something to eat. What makes sense because it's pretty difficult to come down at nightfall.
The arch itself is pretty beautiful to see and I advise to go to the highest viewpoint to have a good sight not only of the arch but also of the amazing landscape surrounding you.

It was a great sight, however there was a very strong smell which you could not ignore. If you are anywhere nearby (even Germany or Poland) I definitely recommend u stop by or you can plan your whole trip around it. Definitely worth it. You can make a whole day hiking day out of it or just stop by for 2 hours. It is not wheelchair accessible and if you do not like walking uphill this is definitely not for you.

Nice place to reach at the end of a hike through the forest. Beautiful sights, a place to rest and grab a drink or eat (if you get there during the opening hours). It could get crowded on weekends. Best to leave early from the parking and have time to continue the hike to other parts of the national park.

This is a very beautiful getaway from Prague / Dresden. Not much visited, because there is very little information abou how to reach there etc. I drove to the base and looked for the shortest walk. My tip: drive to parking Soutěsky. This is almost the last parking before start of the trail. Try driving further and you may save another 500 mtrs. of walking if you find a parking spot on the one of the last parking. All parking have same price of Euro 8.
Total walk from this parking is about 6 Km of which you walk about 2 Km along the highway as there are no parkings directly at the start of trail. . Walk is quiet easy and surrounded by beautiful terrain.
Take plenty of water with you on a sunny day, there are no water streams on the way and you can only buy a refill at the destination. The area was under fire some years ago, so expect no shade.
Plan a day, the place is really beautiful and the walking up alone takes easily about 2 Hrs or more unless you are fighting fit.

Beautiful hike with some of the most scenic nature in Czech! The hike up and back took about 1.5 hours, not including stopping to take photos and grabbing a snack at the top (there is a small restaurant).
As of April 2022, a wildfire devastated the area, but as of April 2023, the top remains largely untouched.
Christopher Yandell — Google review
The walk to the top was intense, but maybe that's because it was 33 degrees in full sun and we already walked and climbed for 10km before we started this specific trail.
We parked our car at Na Hájenkách (Indiánská vesnička Rosehill) where there is a small free parking place.
Then, we walked to Mezní Můstek and went right, to Divoká Soutěska and bought a ticket for the boat through the river, which took about 18 minutes. During the boat tour, the tour guide will explain things in a humorous way regarding the river area.
Then we walked to Mezná, which is a rather intense continuous climb, and continued to Tři Prameny, the starting point for the trail to Pravčicka Brána.
Its advisable to bring plenty of water in these temperatures and bring sun protection. Our total hike was 12km and took about 4 hours, including breaks. We consumed 2,5L of water each.
When we got back the crossroad Tři Prameny, we took bus line 441 back to our parking spot in Na Hájenkách. To our surprise, the ride was for free!
Tom Albers — Google review
We visited as part of a hiking tour. The walk up is moderately demanding but the last section would certainly challenge anyone with mobility issues.
It is a long steady climb through a valley of trees devastated by fires in the last few years. As such it feels beautiful but slightly bleak, at least until the end where you climb the steep steps and slopes up to the chateau. Sited alongside the Archway, the chalet style hostelry offers refreshments and toilets. Seating areas overlook the beautiful scenery below and a very short path under the arch exposes you to a breathtaking view from the edge. Another short climb takes you to a viewpoint looking across the arch, much used in postcards and the like.
The walk back down is a bit hard on the knees for those of us of a certain age, but feels easy after the climb up. The weather was good when we visited but I can imagine a strategic inclusion of layers and waterproofs is in order at other times.
A lovely and rewarding hike

Wonderful experience, takes an hour or two from Hrensko. 3 Km from Hrensko to the starting point of the trail, then 2 Km hike.
If you come from Germany you can cross the border on a ferry from Schöna to Hrensko. (DB ticket works on it)
You can also experience the aftermath of wildfires last year.
Garrison town converted into concentration camp & Jewish ghetto, with museum, graveyard & tours.

Don't take this 5 star rating to be a rating that one normally gives out to other places. This is a death camp that has a very dark history associated to it.

It's not an experience to "love". It is a very sad, important and profound experience. "Never forget" 💔

Very interesting and scary in same time.
Made a huge impression on all of my family.
We honor all those men, women and children who lost their lives for our freedom

The monument was originally built in 1790, during the reign of Emperor Josef II (who did not live to see it completed) as a fortress (a system of three fortresses that protected Prague). It was never built as a concentration camp and never served as such. During the Second World War, the fortress was used as a prison by the Prague Gestapo and thus became famous. From the first moment, if you have already visited one of the former concentration camps, you can see that it is rather a milder and "nice" place compared to the camps. Of course, I don't mean to downplay the brutality that took place here. I recommend buying at least a paper guide, there is a map on the ticket, but it is easier to go according to the numbers in ascending order. After visiting the small fortress, be sure to visit the city of Terezín and the large fortress that served as a Jewish ghetto + cafes and a hospital

It is always an eye-opener coming to one of these places where really horrible stuff happened. The museum has a very good chronology of the activities here.

They did not have a working gass chamber, but they were a killing machine! This is such a terrible and cruel place. We cannot allow something this terrible to happen again! Never forget!

My father and I did this the trip out to the concentration camp and the experience itself was quite eye opening just trying to place yourself in the shoes of what the people went though during this time. It was a humbling experience to say the least. The families lost, children that grew up never knowing their mothers and fathers as well as how the jews in particular were treated. The fact that this was allowed to happen and that people can do this is still something that is beyond me. A must do day trip if in Prague
