(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the cathedral of the Smolensk Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church. Located in the central part of the city of Smolensk on Cathedral Hill. Erected at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. An amazing place for the soul, where the Lord embraces you with his love! I like to come to the cathedral when there are not many people, I can calmly pray, turn to God, the Most Holy Theotokos, and the saints of God. You can venerate any icon with prayer and request; there are places where you can simply sit and breathe the spirit of the cathedral, this is especially important for elderly and sick people. Of course, on great holidays there is Grace everywhere, it’s just very crowded, you have to stand close together. Go enjoy God's house, its splendor and its beauty. Think about saving your soul!!! God bless you!!!

Собо́р Успе́ния Пресвято́й Богоро́дицы — кафедральный собор Смоленской митрополии Русской православной церкви. Находится в центральной части города Смоленска на Соборной горе. Возведён на рубеже XVII и XVIII веков. Удивительное место для души, там Господь обнимает вас своей любовью! Люблю приходить в собор, когда немноголюдно, можно спокойно помолиться, обратится к Богу, Пресвятой Богородице, к Святым угодникам Божьим. Приложится к любой иконе с молитвой и просьбой, есть места где просто можно посидеть и подышать духом собора, особенно это важно для пожилых и больных людей. Конечно на великие праздники там Благодать везде и всюду, просто очень многолюдно, приходится стаять вплотную. Идите, наслаждайтесь домом Божьим, виличием и красотой. Думайте о спасении своей души!!! Божьей помощи вам!!!

(Translated by Google) Incredibly beautiful cathedral!
An altar that survived wars and anti-religious sentiments.
Also a miraculous icon! Be sure to stop by.
The cathedral is on a hill; if you go around it on the other side, you will get to the observation deck.
I want to return to the cathedral, it’s very calm.

Невероятной красоты собор!
Алтарь который пережил войны, антирелигиозные настроения.

Собор на холме, если обойти его с другой стороны, попадёте на смотровую площадку.
Хочется возвращаться в собор, очень спокойно.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful place, the cathedral from different points of Smolensk seems to float above the city. I definitely recommend visiting here as one of the main attractions of the city of Smolensk.
We walked around the cathedral on the left and went out through the gate, ending up on a platform where most of the city is visible. Beautiful.
The inside is also very beautiful and solemn (for some reason I wanted to use this word).
In the courtyard of the cathedral there is a shop with monastic goods.
(Original)
Очень красивое место, собор с разных точек Смоленска как будто парит над городом. Советую обязательно тут побывать, как одна из главных достопримечательностей города Смоленск.
Мы обошли собор слева и вышли через калитку, оказались на площадке где видна большая часть города. Красиво.
Внутри тоже очень красиво и торжественно (почему-то именно это слово захотелось употребить).
Во дворе собора есть лавка с монастарскими товарами.

I can't even rate this place by 1 star. Our friends recommended it to us as a great place to spend the weekend.
What was our disappointment when we were not allowed in. The reason was the little puppy we were holding in our arms.
This is the only place out of all the places in Belarus where we were not allowed with a dog.
If you are a foreign tourist with pets, you are not welcome there.

Traditional Belorussian estate that I have visited multiple times in the last ten years. If you are going for a guide ask for Irina who has been there since 1997! Walk around try the homemade cheese and bread. Highly recommend the straw, linen and ceramic workshops!! Talk to the artists - great place friendly people :)

I suggest you to take an excursion there, so you’ll have lots of fun with tastings of local products and drinks. Area is nice, but I was disappointed that everything was in Russian. Even the guides don’t do the tours in Belarusian. That’s sad. And the shield at the entrance wasn’t in a native language.

Brest Fortress, also known as the Hero Fortress, is a 19th-century fortress located in Brest, Belarus. It gained its heroic title to honor its defense during the German-Soviet War of 1941-1945. The fortress features imposing ruins and a museum that provides background on the events of World War II. Visitors can explore artifacts and photographs from this period. The complex also includes a brutalist-style concrete memorial statue.
Was awestruck and simply amazed visiting this place. As I entered, they were playing "the Sacred War", one of the most famous World War II songs, and this was easily one of the most Soviet experiences I ever had in my many stays in former Soviet countries.

if you are in Belarus, be sure to visit this place, the energy of this place is going through the roof. be sure to take a guide to the open part of the memorial complex. history must be known and remembered, and not as it is now fashionable to forget, turn over.

Good museum to give background to the events during WW2 that occurred at the fortress. Some displays are in English, but you can easily get the idea about the artifacts and photographs which have not been translated.
Do not miss the excellent museum shop downstairs. Very reasonable prices on some interesting souvenirs, from coins to old bullets.

Formerly known as Brest-Litoŭsk Fortress, is a 19th-century fortress in Brest in present-day Belarus. In 1965 the title "Hero Fortress" was given to the fortress to commemorate the defence of the frontier stronghold during the first week of the German-Soviet War of 1941-1945 when Axis forces invaded the Soviet Union with the launch of Operation Barbarossa on June 22, 1941. The title "Hero Fortress" corresponds to the title "Hero City" that the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union awarded to an eventual total of twelve Soviet cities.

The State Museum of Majdanek is a memorial museum located on the site of a WWII concentration camp. It houses buildings, photographs, and personal effects from that era. The exhibits are available in English as well and offer an educational experience about the atrocities committed during that time. It takes around four hours to visit the entire museum, so it's best to plan for a sunny day as it can get cold and windy in winters.
What an experience the place is really well conserved and it gives you chills while you there definetly worth visiting

A place that everyone must visit. Everyone has to learn about the things people suffered, just because they were different.

A sad place but a fundamental visit to understand more about this dark moment of our history. The museum is very well preserved and organized. The entrance is free but I would recommend to buy something from the bookstore, to contribute with the conservation. If possible, go on a weekday by morning, it opens 9am and the visit will be not crowded, so you can explore everything in your pace.

All the museums and exhibitions were available in English also so it was a positive point. Although very sad, this place taught me a lot about those concentration camps.

How do you rate five star such a place? It was good to learn about the history that I've found difficult to understand or stomach. It was enlightening walking the grounds, reading quotes from people who experienced such inhuman atrocities. I couldn't help but reflect with current experiences in today's world. The visit was and is still thought-provoking. It is a good thing this history has not been hidden. Perhaps that will help us shape our world differently when we can understand what human beings are capable of.

This is a eye watering place to visit due to the horrendous reasons behind it being there.
We entered through the main gate and into the reception, we were then shown on a map whats what and how far it it’s to walk round it , I believe it was 4.6km .
Hard to imagine just how hard it must have been but the whole place gives you somewhat of a view into the conditions .
The stories you read on the wall again make your heart miss a beat , very very sad place to visit but a must if history and a real look into it is on your to do list.

Very moving place to visit. Nevertheless the place is well looked after and clean, in the customer centre, reading materials can be purchased in many languages, there's also loads of parking which is very cheap. Everything is displayed where it need to be and sometimes in multiple languages. I've managed to attach myself to a tour, and the guide explained everything in detail, took us about 3hrs. The middle museum holds artefacts found on the grounds, as well as letters, documents, furniture, equipment, and statues made by prisoners. The remembererance monument is one of the biggest I've seen and really makes an impact. At the end crematorium, human ashes pile and executions trenches can also be visited. Definitely worth a visit so that one human can know what another is capable of...
Jarek Pawlikowski — Google review
It is worth a visit. You will be very close to concentration camp life.
It is enough to walk without guide. It is free entry. You may park your car inside for 10 zl, which is worth as well. Otherwise you have to walk 15-20 mins by walk.
It is a different experience than Auschwitz. It has less people and a lot of information on the posters.

Łazienki Park is one of the most beautiful places in Warsaw and is a popular tourist destination with a range of attractions including palace, gardens, amphitheatre and various follies. The park is well-maintained and peaceful and is perfect for a relaxing day out.
Beautiful park in the center of Warsaw, I advise all tourists to visit. Admission to the park is free, there are also museums on site, which can be accessed for a fee. The territory of the park is very large and spacious, you can take beautiful photos and just relax in nature. Peacocks also live in the park and there are many squirrels. Incredible place! 😍😍😍

Lazienki Park in Warsaw is like a quiet, beautiful garden in the middle of the city. It's full of pretty plants, big old buildings, and calm ponds. You can walk around, see historical places like the Palace on the Water, and enjoy the Chopin Monument and you will have a lot of birds , chirping sounds make it even more beautiful. It's a great place to relax and learn about history if you visit Warsaw. Toilet signs are not well placed, you have run around to realize it's within the hunting museum.

Came here on our trip to Warsaw for a bit of time away from the city. Was a fair walk from the centre but worth it for this peaceful atmosphere. I can imagine it’s beautiful in the summer but we still enjoyed it on a grey winters day. The highlight was seeing the peacocks and red squirrels, but this park is a beautiful place to visit to relax for an hour or so.

I was there during the summer and it was beautiful, a lot to see around , relax , breath the air and walk around. You can find some hidden spots to sit surrounded by the trees and nature . Recommend for anyone visiting Warsaw to spend a day here in nature and explore the history. However dogs are not allowed in the park. Heads-up for dog owners . Warsaw is generally dog friendly. A family day out here would be lovely. It’s kids friendly. The map is helpful so lay your hands on one of you can .

The Royal Łazienki (the Royal Baths) was one of those places in Warsaw that enchanted me completely! I am a total fan of greenery, and here in the very center of the city there is a huge, vast area drowning in greenery with charming paths, monuments, squirrels and walking peacocks. Contact with nature, peace, quiet, the opportunity to watch jumping squirrels, all surrounded by 18th century architecture. Everything was amazing there.
Rynek Starego Miasta, also known as the Old Town Market Square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Warsaw that has been meticulously restored after being nearly destroyed during World War II. Surrounded by pastel townhouses and historic museums like the History Museum and the Museum of Literature, this square is a vibrant hub for dining, shopping, and people-watching at its pavement cafes and boutique shops.
The iconic Palace of Culture and Science building in Warsaw is a towering structure with plenty to offer visitors, including theaters, a congress hall, and private companies. The building was constructed by Soviet workers as a gift to the Poles, and its height - at 237 metres - makes it one of the tallest buildings in Poland.
I strongly recommend going on the observation deck in the Palace of Culture and Science while visiting Warsaw. The view is truly stunning. The tickets are quite cheap and there's no time limit on the top. The lift is quite fast, but even the short queue (~25 people) took us like 20 minutes to get to the lift. I recommend checking busyness on google maps before visiting.

This place is very special place to visit in Warsaw, Poland.
From this place, you can see whole Warsaw. There is a fees of 25 zloty for adult and for students there is a student discount.
You can see all big skyscrapers from this top.
For a normal people it’s only allowed to go to 30 floors maximum.
Inside there is a small restaurant type where you can have good food.
The view is just amazing.
Good during evening hours so that you can watch sunsets and also the lights switching on of different skyscrapers.
It’s super.

Really beautiful icon and could be considered some kind of second Eiffel Tower for Warsaw.
Even though it's a symbol of Socialism and could be thought of as just a Communist monument, it's really a well-designed Palace.
Definitely worth going to viewing terrace

Stunning landmark in Warsaw, boasting awe-inspiring architecture and a rich cultural heritage. From its grand exterior to its captivating interior attractions, including theaters and museums, it's a must-visit destination. Don't miss the chance to admire panoramic views of Warsaw from its top floors. Conveniently located in the city center, it's an essential stop for anyone exploring Poland's capital. Highly recommended!

Loved that building on my trip to Warsaw. Very impressive architecture style and dimensions. Nice photo subject at day and night. I recommend to go to the viewing platform in the evening while it's sunset and blue hour.
Dominik Schulze — Google review
The building isn’t anything special but the view from it is really magnificent, especially during the golden hour. I recommend to visit this place in the evening if you want great photos. But the waiting time was longer than we expected (around 20 minutes). That was because only one of six lifts were working. So keep in mind that.

The first thing you think of when you’re in Warszawa. Easily accessible thanks to the well planned transportation system in the city. This old piece of soviet architecture is truly stunning. The details in the building itself along with the views it gives from the top are just something else. I truly recommend visiting this palace to truly understand that grandeur the city played during its time and current history.

Had an incredible view of the city, was a very interesting experience.
Only 1 lift worked so was very busy, was the polish version of the Empire State Building in New York. I'm terms of iconic recognition, beautiful and importance however has a very interesting history.

Warsaw historic site. At the top of the palace you find panoramic views of the city which are worth seeing. In my opinion, the price of the ticket to enter seems a little high for the simple fact of using an elevator.

Lovely looking Tower, given to the Polish from Stalin as a gift back in the day.....
Nowadays its a cultural marker in a modern city surrounded by nice and shiny high rise office towers.........its still holds its elegance well, and is a beautiful building to look at from below.
Going to the top, or at least some of the way to the top, one has to queue a little as its busy....... and with only one lift working on the day.....it did take half an hour to first buy a ticket, then get inline for the lift......
But at the top, the views are great, and one can see as far as the eyes can go of the city of Warsaw in all its splendid glory. Great views at the top.
Going back down again, another bit of a wait to the bottom.......another 20 or 30 minutes .......but I didn't mind really as the lines were moving, just slowly!
Worth a visit to see the skyline of Warsaw

This building is magnificent. It seems like the communist version of the Empire State Building. It is equally impressive and maybe more since it is not crammed in the city but there is plenty of space around it. Modern scyscrapers are around as well as the mall and train station my favorite building in Warsaw.

Nice architecture/building in the middle of Warsaw, nearby the central station. The location is just perfect. The surrounding area is nice to walk around and even to visit inside and go up for panoramic view. Ticket is very reasonable, the view of Warsaw from above is amazing. Many restaurants/shops are nearby and next to this palace is a shopping mall. Get there early to avoid long queue but it should be fine.

Terrace view was amazing, definitely recommend. Elevator was too fast and queue was passing quickly. If you are going to visit lots of museums, recommend getting warsaw-pass ticket, which cost 150 zloty for 24 hours. It includes 25 museums and other benefits. Bad part was that stuff was really rude.

An imposing and impressive building in the heart of Warsaw. Surrounded by gardens and fountains at various points.
I would recommend going up to the top via lift where you get great aerial views of Warsaw. Tickets are reasonably priced too. If you have time, I would recommend spending dedicate walking in grounds surrounding the building.

An absolute "Must Do", when you visit Warsaw.
Ideally, you'll want to visit the iconic Palace of Culture on your first day and pay the 25z (£5) to visit the viewing platform on the 30th floor. This will give you a breathtaking view of the city and give you an idea of the lay of the land. The queue to the elevators can appear to be lengthy, but they move quickly.
Built in 1955, the palace itself is beautiful and quintessentially Soviet. The architecture is both impressive and imposing.
The palace grounds form part of a much larger attraction. The palace contains a museum of evolution and the grounds boast many beautiful statues, monuments and fountains within a spacious park. The palace is surrounded by other areas of interest such as the impressive Zlote shopping mall along with plenty of restaurants and other standalone shops.
The site is easily accessed from the subway (Świętokrzyska, Centrum and Rondo ONZ), and is about a 30-40 minute walk from the classic Old/New Town area.
Exploring the palace and its grounds will require several hours, so allow yourself plenty of time (at least a half day), to fully enjoy and appreciate this wonderful part of Warsaw.

For me this building is Warszawa. The first readily identifiable building when flying into Chopin. It was the biggest building rising from the destruction of the city during WW2. It is very much in the Stalinist style of architecture. It is usually well lit and colourful when it becomes dark. I love it and take far too many pictures.

Nice visits over Warsaw. However you have a big queue to go up and a big queue to go down. I could skip it if I was in a rush. Buy tickets in advance. There are two lines, one for the people that already bought the tickets and the other one for people who haven’t bought. Pay attention because when you arrive it looks like just a single line but it isn’t

Impressive building, viewing terrace
on the 30th floor with beautiful hall and ceiling, breathtaking views of Warsaw. Sadly, the weather was rainy and foggy, so I did not see much, but I will return another time. Not free (!?) Tickets should be bought to get there. Other floors are filled with offices. Good cafe and eatery on the first and ground floor.
This museum tells the story of Warsaw's 1944 uprising against Nazi occupation, during which some 15,000 Polish Home Army soldiers were killed and hundreds of thousands deported. The museum is extremely comprehensive, with displays on three levels covering the history of Warsaw, the uprising itself, and the aftermath.
I came here on a Monday and it was free admission. I really enjoyed the well curated exhibit that walked me through the history and impact of the uprising. I recommend getting the audio guide that allows you to hear the extra commentary about the various exhibits.
This museum is actually very impressive if you like world war II history or you want to have a better understanding of Polish people and their willingness to fight against evil during world war II. Highly recommend.

Interesting museum about the history of the Warsaw Rising. The museum explores the background and the future of the city and the rebellion. If one is not a huge history fan, the museum might get a bit boring after a few exhibits. We visited on Sunday, and the queue lasted around an hour.

This is a really awesome museum if you are interested in WWII, polish history, and military history. It is a pretty large place and took us a while to see everything. There are a lot of guns and artifacts from WWII, as well as a lot of personal items like letters and journals. Speaking polish would be nice, but there was plenty in English also, so I felt like I got a lot out of it still. Highly recommended!

What an amazing Museum. The story of those who came before us preserved over time lest we forget what the cost of freedom really means. If your in the city as a tourist this is a must see attraction and more importantly a history lesson for the world that we cannot remain silent when faced with evil.

Wonderful experience. So much information, historical facts documented. The museum had a lot of objects from the second world war, including telephones, motorcycles, some movie registrations. I would totally recommend this museum to be visited by everyone who goes in Warsaw. I would visit it again, if I will have the chance.

A great memorial dedicated to the human spirit of fighting against all odds. Very moving, detailed and systematic display of everything related to the uprising. The two movies are well made. Really liked the story telling divided over 4 floors. Good place for adults and kids. It's a traffic style of brave people like us who fought for something they believed and lost but told in a very engrossing way. It's quite crowded. Even on a weekday afternoon in August.

This Museum is well organised, very interesting, well laid out, and has a lot to see. I was thoroughly impressed and enjoyed every moment inside. It is so well worth the entrance fee. It's a must when you are in Warsaw. We bought Metro tickets for the day for 3 pounds I think and moved all over town on the tram. Loved it. Warsaw Poland is definitely so European. I can't wait to come back again. There is too much to see for a long weekend. I also found Warsaw to be affordable when travelling on the Pound. I honestly never thought of Poland as a travel destination for myself, and now, I am excited to return some day. I loved my experience here. I felt safe, and there is order.
Come and visit Poland. You're welcome.

A nice museum with a lot of material to see. 30 minutes might be just enough if you are quick, but for some people even several hours might not bee too much. Depends how precisely you want to read through all the texts and such.

This museum was an in-depth dive into Poland and its uprising during the war!
I think it’s a crucial piece of history with details into specifics suffered in Poland and the incredible bravery mustered up by the people who refused to settle into the horrific position they were put in. It discusses the ghettos which was very interesting and something I personally didn’t know too much about
The museum layout was a little messy and the 3D fly through was a very interesting experience but was about a 40 minute wait for about a 7 minute film - wouldn’t recommend this
Otherwise the museum was a great one to visit and learn about Polands history! ✨

Great experience. Interesting museum, very informative and everything has an English translation. You need a few hours to fully enjoy all of the museum.
There's really big lockers for bags in the yard opposite the entrance. You need 5PLN coin to operate the lockers. I used a 50 euro cent coin which worked perfectly.
Free to visit on Mondays. I Highly recommend a visit

Must visit for anyone interested in Poland's WW2 history! It helps contextualize the country's difficult situation to a great extent.

I visited here on a Monday.
The signs are not clear on entry, as to where to get your tickets from🤦♂️🤷♂️
Being English, the ticket sign was written in Polish! In areas there was English written alongside Polish signs.
I had to get directions to find the ticket area. Oh its written as 'Kasa' a little building set on its own at the end of the courtyard👍
After all that, getting into the ticket office, I was surprised to find out it was free on a Monday! Result😀 so as I left the ticket office, I donated money into this huge glass collection box, outside.
There was no queue today, about 1.30pm.
There was no English tour guide available, so had to wander around and check out all the displays and read up on them.
It is another amazing part of Polish history! Solely based about The Warsaw Uprising.
There are so many areas based in here, all with written information or recorded vocal and filmed footage.
The struggles of the Polish people is truly upsetting, then the admiration and bravery of their Polish ancestors, fighting, sometimes an impossible fight.
The stories of support from other nations is commendable!
There is information here of the atrocities they went through, but the strength Polish men, women and children, even their Goats, supporting them with well need milk supplies😱
The stories of how they coped in the underground, then to try to fight against the strength of the Germans.
Living and moving through the drainage system, only to surface for well needed supplies!
The cinema room shows photography from an aircraft circling Warsaw after all the bombing! Truly upsetting😢 but admiration to all of the Polish people that tried to fight back!
Was nice to see the footage of Germans being captured and taken prisoner's after the war, some karma coming back to them, although the Polish were not barbaric like the Germans were.
You have to take several hours to take all the information in here at the Warsaw uprising museum.
I highly recommend coming here, just to learn what people have had to suffer and not to let it happen again.
Knowledge is power👍
I will have to go to the Tomb of the unknown Soldier again now, to pay my silent respects to all❤️

The exhibition is interesting and well executed, a lot of historical pieces and stories about the polish people during WWII.
I do think that the part of jews in the resistance against the Nazis during WWII should be told, as it was one of the greatest rebellions against the germans during the war.
More over, it is hard to look at the polish people as complete victims knowing that a lot of polish people cooperated with the germans in the mass murder of jews during the war.

I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Warsaw Uprising Museum. The attention to detail in the interior design is remarkable, truly capturing the essence of the era. I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information provided. I could spent an entire day engrossed in the exhibits, absorbing the stories and events that shaped the city's history.
Even though my visit was relatively short, I left with a profound sense of connection to the past. I'd strongly recommend allocating a good 2-3 hours to fully appreciate the experience. It's not just a museum visit – it's an journey that allows you to immerse yourself in the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs of the people during that pivotal time.
The Warsaw Uprising Museum is an absolute must-visit, and I'm already planning to return. Whether you're a history buff or just curious about the past, this museum offers an exceptional opportunity to explore and learn. Don't miss out on this enriching and moving experience.

Unfortunately a great museum. Lot of interactive parts, with a well explained visit path, and the possibility to rent an audio guide for a more complete experience. Plan at least a few hours to completely experience the whole experience, as they also screen some movies and have a temporary exhibition on top of the standard museum that in itself is worth visiting when in town.
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.

Beautiful old castle.
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.

It was great experience to visit this castle 🏰. Takes you back to medieval times especially after watching witcher it makes you visualize more about the older times. The surroundings of the castle are great and you can have nice relaxed time there.

I arrived a bit before 10 on Sunday morning. It was pretty quiet which was nice. The setting is really nice. The nature is just as good as the castle! The castle is huge and the views are amazing. There's tons of stuff to do for kids aside from visiting the castle. And, there are plenty of vendors if you want food/ drinks or souvenirs.
By the time I left it was getting quite busy. If crowds aren't your thing then go early.
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.

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.

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 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.

There is a bar 320 meters under the ground. You can try polish beer or you can drink a coffee or another drink. One of the touristic attractions in Zabrze. *I'm not sure if the tour guides speak English, at least the one that guided us didn't.

Great place, they actually show you how the machinery operates and you can get a feeling how working in a mine really is like. Definitely one of the more interesting tours I’ve been on in my life! If you’re in the area pop in for sure.

It would be nice if they would provided an electronic copy of the transcript to the email address of customers that the guides say to visitors only in Polish. We were required to arrive 15 minutes early, which we were lucky to do as there was a car accident on the way. So we arrived at 3:15pm ready for a 3:30pm session. Then there was nothing important to do between 3:15pm and 3:30pm apart from go to the toilet and check we had some water.
During that time of they had offered an electronic copy of the transcript I could have translated it into English online since we still had internet connection above ground. Then during the tour at each stop I could have just read the relevant section in English from my mobile phone instead of standing around understanding nothing.
I only speak English and barely any Polish, and my partner only speaks and understands intermediate Polish. I didn't understand anything they said on the 2 hour tour apart from a couple of words and my partner also struggled to understand, so it was actually incredibly boring and after the first 30 minutes I wished there was a way to end the tour early as there were more things I could have been doing. On the tour we did spurts of repeatedly walking and then the guide would stop and talk in Polish for a long time, and we were in a group of about 11 people so often the only chance to take a photo where others weren't blocking the photo was when people started walking again but then you can't take too long to take the photo since you have to stay close to the group. There was a short ride on the hanging train at the end of the tour and it ended at an underground pub. Our other family members went on a different longer tour that started after ours so we bought some beer and waited for them there since the beginner tour ends at the pub

I come from Zabrze and have lived here most of my life. I wanted to show my roots to my girlfriend and decided to pay a visit to this internationally know heritage site. Even in the description of the tour at the start, the guide highlighted that Guido is one of the most renowned industrial, touristic sites in Europe. Having that in mind, one member of staff could only speak English and there was no audioguide available or even an English, written guide. The staff had to hand out a4 printed out pages. It was not a problem for us, as I kept translating what is being said, but there was a party from Britain who did not have this privilege and had to read from these pieces of paper in half darkness. That needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Audio guides are a must for a site like this.
Having said that, the tour was really well organised, interesting and very well planned. Long enough, very informative and our guide was just brilliant. His passion and noticeable experience made it extremely engaging. He needs a praise and a raise! Seeing the machines used in mines from close up, and working, makes it so much more real too.
I recommend this place to everyone, but if you do not speak Polish, please check if measures have been taken to provide for your needs, or prepare to be slightly disappointed! :) Come on Guido, you can improve this.

That was a great experience. The guide was working down there in the past and know every detail. It took arrond 4h. Some time at 170m and more at 350m level. Driving also with the underground hanging train. At the end you can stay at 350m and sit in a bistro. Just go back up by taking the elevator going every 30 minutes.

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.
Juka Op — Google review
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).

I like this place. It seems they put the animals first as much as they can. I wish some of the animals had more space though. However I am not an expert on animal enclosures so I might be wrong about that.
There are several places for kids to play and many small shops for buying food and drinks. I also like that they have educational posters and activities along the trails.

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 !

What an amazing zoo! We went in the snow and it was so beautiful. It was like we hired it for the day ourselves. Lots of amazing animals that we didn't expect to see such as hippos and leopards. Some great play areas for the kids and some food and drinks stalls and vending machines dotted around the area. The hot chocolate in the machine by the entrance was also delicious. 10/10!
Great price and a great day out!
Joe — Google review
It’s hard to go wrong with a zoo in kids’ minds. Is this one the biggest, coolest one you’ll go to? No, but my six-year-old daughter enjoyed it.
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
Large zoo with a conservation program housing iconic animals on an island in the River Oder.
This zoo is beautiful and big. There is English posting for names and much information in Polish that can be translated with Lens. The ice cream was delicious and very clean place. We spent over two hours and could have spent even more time there. I think we walked nearly 10km during the visit. It is one of my favorites

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

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.

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.

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.
Lake Malta is a picturesque body of water that offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as running and cycling. It is accompanied by various attractions, and walking around it proves to be an excellent experience due to the lengthy, well-maintained path that is free from road noise. The area also boasts frequent benches and resting spots, along with some nearby eateries. You can relax on the lake's shore while enjoying bronze statues featuring local cultural themes or indulge in water sports activities.
Reminds me of Pancharevo ezero in Bulgaria, a very nice walk around, but even better because of the many things to do around. There's a train, two roads - strictly for pedestrians and one for bikers only, ice cream and some restaurants at the far end as well as a whole amusement park and a zoo if you continue a bit further, But it's fine even for just a walk. Takes about 1 - 2 hours depending on your tempo. I loved that they put an honour to the medalists!

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

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The walk was pretty windy, but it was expected. Sadly the slide wasn’t open because of maintenance. The possibility of making a photo at the top was rewarding :)

We took a rail trip ticket at 13:00, after the bridge we found that it's requitable to take smth like queue number note. Our numbers started from 1300 when the actual queue number was 700. now it's 18:00, and we are still waiting! For God's sake, we are wasting our time here and they saying that they close soon!!! Btw the price on the top is chipper then on the bottom! What?!

Very nice attraction. Would appreciate little more educational content but that's my private opinion. The net at the top is very unnerving but fun and the same goes for a tunnel shortcut in the middle. Both are made of steel rope so there's no need to worry about the safety of the thing. Didn't try the slide from the top as my daughter is too short to ride (120cm)

Wooden construction for nice views at woods around. As I see it, this tower makes it more interesting for pictures than the Sky Bridge, that was originally the most interesting attraction for me at Dolní Morava. At the same time, I spent here much longer time. Me and my boyfriend were for about 2 hours taking a look at views, taking pictures, trying to stand at the . Other people were doing the same.
The place offers additional attractions, such as bob slide from the top down to the bottom of the tower. For this kind of things, there were additional queues,long ones. I think that you need to have an extra ticket for the bob slide at Stezka.
Since it can be cold on the top of the hill and especially that elevated, I recommend some warm clothes and maybe a hat or gloves.
I recommend to buy tickets for the tower in advance, including the cable car, if you want to go for it. The tickets are pricey anyway, but if you buy them in advance, you can save some money, but mostly time otherwise wasted in queues.

Great spot but overloaded with people in summer and roads closed. None of the lifts open and 1 bus that runs every 45 min with 40 people. Far too much dangerous construction with pedestrians. Horrible experience if you have small kids. Don't come here if you want safety and enjoyment. Great hike with large trucks every 1 min.

Visited in summer and winter. Be warned that sky walk tower is inaccessible for hikers in winter. Signage is nearly nonexistent and confusing. Met a fair amount of people aimlessly wandering around the woods between car parks and the peak, with the same goal of hiking up to the tower and bridge. It's a shame as its a relatively short hike, perfect for kids, who are rewarded with further attractions at the end of it. Summer time - Tower is just as other structures of that type in the region, views are interesting, can be pretty busy at times.

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.

A really interesting place to visit. Tour guides are well prepared and knowledgeable. The only drawback is small quantities of artifacts from history but this is not the fault of the place. Basically all weapons and available stuff were reused for more modern weapons during 1st and 2nd WW or stolen by Germans or Russians. Definitely worth a visit.

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.
Radek Kolecki — Google review
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.

Very much intrigued by the family history and a lot of information is provided. We spent hours, so make sure to have enough time if you want to visit other sights as well. 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!

Amazing place, stunning huge building's perfectly maintained. Best audio guide I've ever had which knew which room you were in and automatically told you what was there, then directed you to the next place. Stunning national stud stables and the palmery. Plus the underground Project Reise tunnels. Food and drink were very reasonable also.

Overall a good day out for the whole family. 👍👌😁💥

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...

Ksiaz Castle in Poland is an awe-inspiring gem! The castle's rich history, stunning architecture, and breathtaking views make it an unforgettable experience. With over 400 rooms and a sprawling 316 hectares of grounds, Ksiaz Castle is a true marvel. Its grandeur and charm captivate visitors, while the surrounding landscape adds to the enchantment. A must-visit destination!

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.

This is a unique and interesting castle, a must visit - but stay away during public holidays. I had a misfortune to visit during May holidays - and was extremely disappointed.

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 enjoyed this place a lot. Very good destination to spend your weekend. Picturesque hiking routes of different difficulty level, underground tunnels of the third reich. 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.

Szczeliniec Wielki, located in the Table Mountains, offers a thrilling hiking experience with its intricate rock formations and well-maintained trails. The peak provides breathtaking views and is accessible to hikers of varying fitness levels. Visitors can explore the labyrinthine Skalne Grzyby or Bledne Skaly formations and enjoy the stunning scenery from various viewpoints along the way.
Highly recommended to visit here with kids. Tickets can be booked online to avoid the queue. Preferred on Weekdays if it is summer.

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.

Popular hiking spot on the border of Poland & the Czech Republic, the highest peak in the latter.
Hiked up the mountain during winter in December and despite it being an easy hike, it was difficult as some of the steep paths were covered in ice and snow making it super slippery. The tower at the top resembles an alien spaceship and there is a bar at the top too.

Amazing views from the top over both Poland and Czech Republic. A number of routes to the top, some of which are pretty challenging, or you can take the cable car from either Polish or Czech side. Limited facilities at the top, with a small post office selling drinks and snacks and a cafe in the cable car station.
James Smith — Google review
If you want to reach the top from the Polish side, it's recommended to wear proper shoes since the fastest trail has a steep slope. I saw many people hiking with gym shoes but personally I recommend to wear hiking shoes to reduce the risk of slipping or take a twist.
There is also a different way to reach the top which is less tiring but longer in terms of time.
Take your own food and water with you since there is no chance to buy them on the top of the mountain (there is a Czech Post Office!).

With its 1603.3 m above sea level, Sněžka is the highest mountain in the Krkonoše, Sudetenland, Silesia, Bohemia and the whole of the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, since the peak of Sněžka lies in Poland, the highest peak in the Czech Republic is Luční hora. Many hundreds of tourists come here every day. You can get to the top by walking route there and back, which is a trip with children for the whole day. It is also possible to use the cable car, which is two-stage, but unfortunately there is no guarantee that it will be in operation every day. What happened to me too. The walk up the hill was breathtaking and from the early morning I walked through the levels of the cloud. Around noon, the clouds parted and the sun came out, which meant the most amazing view of all time.

Was a difficult hike for me, I’m pretty new to hiking but I’m in no way out of shape. Steep smooth stones that made to so thankful it wasn’t raining. Top was ok, bistro wasn’t great. And the gondola going down wasn’t open even though online it did say it was running. Thankfully there was a second gondola halfway down you could take the rest of the way down. The town at the bottom is very cute and worth lunch or dinner.

I’m glad somebody else counted the stairs 😅 after we had a hard time finding a parking space we took a ride with the chairlift to the first station and walked from their to the top.

I recommend this climbing, nice views, places for the rest.
I really like the smell of fresh air here and it is the place where you could get moral rest.
Hiking not hard, the half way could be cut by lift.
Near the climb itself, there is a shelter where you can have a snack, drink a beer or just rest before the climb
Unfortunately, this time the fog and the strong wind caught me and there was a very mystical atmosphere

We parked our car in Pec pod Snezkou and took a cable way from there to Ruzova Hora (cca 1300 m) station. Two direction ticket is about 13 EUR. From Ruzova Hora you can easily hike / walk to the top of the Snežka (cca 1600 m). You will need about hour and a half to the top, maybe even less since the trail is easy even for kids, dogs, older people. In the July, temp on the top was 8 C and the wind was 70 km/h so take a good clothes. And when we climbed to the top, we were in the clouds and big strong fog, so we couldn’t see nothing. View is usually good but not for us that time. So watch out for the weather if you wanna enjoy the sight view from the top. There is restaurant on the top so you can seat there for a drink or food.
12th-century church, constructed similarly to Viking longships & moved to this site in 1842.
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.

I love this church so much. It’s so gorgeous and I’m genuinely obsessed with how stunning it looks (and how stunning the views are from it).

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.

Absolutely in love with this place! It’s way out of the busy city life. If you are a person that loves to explore nature and the woods, walking through hidden path, then this is definitely the place for you! I walked with my dog for hours exploring so many little paths in the woods near the river and we weren’t even closed to seeing everything! Highly recommend

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.

Very cool medieval castle being used as a hotel. If you want a cool experience without the pampering, this place is for you. Great views and medieval vibe.

Very big. Has lots of stuff to wiew. But it is far awh from town or the main roads. If you don't mind driving through small narrow roads, then I guess it is fine.
Breakfast was standard polish one.

Very interesting tour of the inside and photogenic place 😍 Interesting that it had multiple purposes during world war two and that the rooms can actually be used as guest rooms. A bit of a pity that it's not in great shape but it's still awesome!

We’ve gone to this castle twice and couldn’t get in. First time the castle was occupied by Harry Potter’s fan and nobody was allowed to get inside. The second time we came here with a small dog and exactly these days dogs were not allowed to get here. Staff was really furious and aggressive too.

Czocha is a lovely castle situated in a beautiful location, I've visited it twice and although I've not been inside, even spending time outside the castle is great.
Recently we attended a 'Medieval Food Festival' which was awesome, sampled lots of Polish food from across the ages (prepare fresh of course though 😄) and it was an awesome day out. Highly recommend If they organize this again.

A wonderful setting surrounding a brilliant castle.
Scenic views that were amazing with the snow that we had.
The only issue is that if you are staying on the 4th floor, make sure you are fit as its not easy getting up there and back down with heavy or bulky luggage

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.

We’ve visited the place 5 years ago and it was amazing. Came back last week and realized that the place is falling apart. The service is great, the restaurant food is delicious, but the place itself needs urgent maintenance.

Great and impressive castle with lots of history behind its walls. The local guide was super knowledgeable and eager to share her passion and excitement about this place.
I highly recommend the restaurant as well, the food was just exquisite!

If you are not a polish speaker, just forget about visiting the castle. Only guided tours are possible, and you will be "welcomed" by a very unpleasant man that will make you clearly understand that only polish is spoken there.
A lesson on how not to attract tourists from abroad.

A fascinating place to take a tour. The hard working tour guide really goes into detail about the history and the building. She should be kept as was great learning through her guidance. Did not stay at the hotel, so no comment.

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.

This is an awesome castle, great views and everything! I really like the medieval vibe that this castle gives when you're inside it. I really recommend visiting this place, it has epic views, no trash, many things to look at and beautiful cobblestone buildings surrounding the castle! At the time i am writing this, the roof in front of the river is currently under construction.

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 🥰🥰🥰

Just sightseeing, not staying overnight. So much history and still to be discovered, must-see if a mystery fan. Discoveries happening as we speak. Worth to visit again after a while. It is a beautiful place and definitely worth visiting however, not equipped to handle so many tourists (toilets).
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
Pavel Plšek — Google review
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.
Many cages are kinda small for the animals and needs renovation.
There are 2 play ereas for the kids. Both are fun and looks neat.
Fati Marhoon — Google review
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.

Well-maintained zoo, some food stations with fast-food. There are WC, beautiful area in general.

Smaller than other Czech zoos, but you can still spent few enjoyable hours there. It seems more oriented to families with little kids since there are multiple playgrounds spread throughout the zoo.
David Luksch — Google review
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.

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 .

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.

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.

A very nice place, beautiful views, although after the fire the landscape in the area was quite apocalyptic in places. The path to the entrance is rather simple, anyone can manage it.

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.

Although parking is 3.5km away, most of the climb up is beautiful with stunning landscapes. At the end is the arch, more lookouts, cafe and an amazing old building.
There is a charge to enter the top part.

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.

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!

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

Lunch with a view! 🤩 A lovely hike brings you to this beautiful place for stunning views and lunch with a view. I had the fried cheese with fries and coleslaw plus a coke. Can’t comment on price as I’m unsure of the exchange rate but it was a stunning view, fantastic service and overall really enjoyable day.

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.
