We loved the show put on by an old Baca, there is a good interaction going on between the old and the new generation, we thought the presentation was very good, the whole process of coming from sheep milk to Oscypek became living and clear. The old Baca is quite the character, had a good cheer and attitude, the presentation setup is close up, intimate almost, very enjoyable experience. Very good to take kids to.

4. Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau

Established by the Nazis in 1940, Auschwitz-Birkenau has become a symbol of terror, genocide and the Holocaust. Although the exact number of victims is unknown, many Jews, Poles and gypsies died here. The museum consists of two parts: Auschwitz I, the first and oldest camp (the number of prisoners fluctuated around 15,000, sometimes rising above 20,000) and Auschwitz II, Birkenau (which held more than 90,000 prisoners in 1944). The greater part of the apparatus of mass extermination was built in Birkenau and the majority of the victims were murdered there.

I don’t want to call this a review like it’s rating some sort of amusement park but want to share some thoughts and info for those thinking of visiting. One the things our guide repeated various times was this is first and foremost a cemetery for those lost in the holocaust and should be treated as such and he was so so right. I have seen it mentioned many times but personally we never felt rushed on our guided tour, although there were many different languages tours occurring at the same time so it sometimes overlapped but it’s a place of many many visitors and they do need to keep the pace. However there is always time to wander round afterwards and reflect on your own time. After the initial Auschwitz tour which is mainly exhibitions in the original blocks were all the belongings of the prisoners are piled up, this part does feel more like just that..an exhibition, it almost doesn’t feel real and yet the hairs on your neck stand on end at the sight and you feel a continuing sense of sadness and depression all throughout. The guide then invited us to have a break and meet up together again at Birkenau if we wanted to or we could take some time and wander at our own leisure if we wanted. Birkenau itself is a completely different experience and it’s here you really feel the weight of the experience even though most of it lies in ruins. Our tour guide (we think his name was Andres or something similar) was so knowledgable and genuine, you can tell he really feels passionate and humbled to show people through this harrowing experience and really make sure you feel the full impact of what can only be described as be most haunting and evil place on earth. Some people complained at the volume of the tour and we had several stops of people getting new headphones as they kept saying they couldn’t hear properly, poor guide had to hold his microphone the whole way round which he did without complaint. However he very rightly said it’s important for him to remain respectful and not shout in the exhibitions. We felt very grateful for our guide and felt it was the right choice for us. A definite must experience in life.

Malbork Castle is the largest castle in the world measured by land area - It was a surprise to me to know that Having say , it was really amazing tour inside the whole castle , which took almost 4 hours spent inside the castle areas , and to see how the security system was in the past and how they controlled the whole castle from enemies Audio guide is highly recommended , Family tickets including audio devices costs 128 Pln.

The Royal Łazienki was King Stanisław August’s summer residence, in which a classicist architecture is harmoniously blended with its natural surroundings featuring fabulous gardens

This is the most popular site-seeing spot in Warsaw, a real must! Fantastically located on two levels of terrain and on the slope between them. It is actually an English garden with several-hundert years old trees, artificial lakes and cannals, picturesque “Palace on the water” (the residence of the last Polish king) and all the historical buildings beautifully composed into the terrain and park, delivering many spots of an unusual beauty (for example: a magnificient view from the bridge on the channel on the lake and a slope crowned with classical Belweder building). All this makes Łazienki a natural destination for all the first-time visitors to Warsaw and a perfect leasure place for the people living here. In my opinion, its perfect for a nice one-hour-stroll or if you have more time, just take a seat on one of the benches and imagine yourself the 18th century king playing cards or just having a walk. You may also consider entering Palace on the Water - a museum. If you are interested in the Polish history there is a lot to learn here if not just enjoy!

This is one of the best attractions we have ever been to see, you have a guided tour of the mine and see the sculptures created by some of the miners after their shifts had finished, lasts about two hours or more. If you could get to see all the mine workings you'd probably be down there for a couple of days as you only get to see about 3 percent of the mine.

The Warsaw Rising Museum was opened on the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of fighting in Warsaw. The Museum is a tribute of Warsaw’s residents to those who fought and died for independent Poland and its free capital. The exhibition depicts fighting and everyday life during the Rising, keeping occupation terror in the background. Complexity of the international situation at the time of the Rising is portrayed, including the post-war years of the Communist regime and the fate of Insurgents in the People’s Republic of Poland (PRL). With the total area of more than 3000 m2, 800 exhibition items, approximately 1500 photographs, films and sound recordings, history of the days preceding the Rising is told. Visitors are guided through the subsequent stages of the Rising until the time when the Insurgents left Warsaw. Their further fate is also portrayed.

This museum is a great museum that provides incredible detail about the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. It is so amazing that they were able to find so much to display and so many pictures. Take the time to see the 3-D movie. I went on a Sunday and it was free.
