Muzeum Oscypka Zakopane

Reviewed By ClogsPL - Warsaw, Poland

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.

St Mary's Basilica

One of the most famous of Poland's churches, this Gothic structure features two striking towers of different heights and surprisingly richly decorated insight, mostly thanks to the vibrant polychromy by great Polish artist Jan Matejko. The greatest masterpiece is though the Main Altar by Veit Stoss - a late Gothic illustration for St. Mary's and Jesus life, including scenes of Mary's death and Assumption. Please note that the church, including Main Altar, is currently under long maintenance and renovation works, which may be of some inconvenience.

A most beautiful church and during the Christmas market period sands out like a beacon ,we had seen the film of the beautifully carved alter backdrop that the nazis stole in 1940 and was found in Nuremberg after the war , it was repaired ,restored and placed back in the church ,the Krakow square is a magical place ,but below it is a fantastic museum , that shouldn’t be missed ,

Our Lady of Czestochowa / The Black Madonna

Reviewed By royann2017 - Perth, Australia

The whole experience with the unveiling of the black Madonna was very unique and wonderful. Its s prayerful place of God, with a feeling of peace and grandeur. The miracles worked and the relics make it a beautiful experience for all Catholics and believers. But its also a great place to visit and to hear how the town and monastery were spared the destruction unleashed by the Germans during World War 2. Other cities like Warsaw were not so fortunate. But this place is truly blessed and miraculous.

Wieliczka Salt Mine

Reviewed By 622AndrewW - Moreton, United Kingdom

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.

We believe that the experience of the Polish road to freedom gives us civic energy even today and that the heritage of Solidarnosc (Solidarity) is still a source of invigorating ideas for Europe

Reviewed By piotrekb505 - Warsaw, Poland

The main exhibition gives a great insight into the latest history of the world - shows how the communism collapsed and how, in a peaceful way democracy was introduced in central and eastern Europe. Exhibition is interesting, it is presented in a modern way with numerous interactive elements.

There will always be something new to inspire you!

This is am amazing museum that truly enables the visitor to feel like they have lived in Poland through the many centuries depicted: the impact of Polish Jews with regard to culture, arts and religion, the rise and fall of the Nazis and the Communists. Very well thought out designed so that visitors move from space to space. Truly well done!!

Jasna Gora

The holiest place in Poland and one of the world’s most important destinations for pilgrims. Every year several million pilgrims pray before the miraculous picture of Our Lady of Czestochowa.

Reviewed By anacW3256HT - Moscow, Russia

Czestochowa is a lively city in the south of Poland with a rich religious history. The city is well-known for its stunning Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora. Every year, millions of pilgrims from all over the world come here to pay homage to the shrine and enjoy the peace that this holy place gives. The greatest treasure of the imposing Jasna Gora complex is the ancient miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary (Black Madonna) which origin is a mystery. Thanks to this beautiful painting, Jasna Gora became one of the largest Marian sanctuaries in Poland since the 15th century. There, it has been worshiped in desperate moments, especially during large-scale disasters such as epidemics. A characteristic feature of the famous icon are the scars on the face of the Our Lady of Czestochowa. Jasna Gora's Lady bears signs of wounds and pain. Pope Saint John Paul II visited over five times. Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis also have visited Jasna Gora. All in all, this huge monastic complex is well worth a visit. It houses an incredible collection of treasures. The work of art is impressive. Each building features fascinating exhibits. Highly recommended.

Sightseeing of Museum Route does not entail any additional cost, it can be visited by the same ticket to the Mine. What are the major features on the Museum Route?

Lovers of arts and handicraft will surely be enchanted by paintings of Jan Matejko, the precious Horn of the Hewer Guild and a luxury train constructed for the top authorities of the Austria-Hungary Empire.

There are also places that will attract attention of nature lovers, such as the exhibition of salt crystals from the famous Crystal Caves.

Reviewed By Sanka1 - Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

A brilliant attraction which shows the history of the salt trade in Krakow and the mine overall. The salt mine is located within 30mins from Krakow and is a must do which doesn't cost that much. You're escorted by a tour guide and please check timings of tours before you reach the place. The tour takes 2 hours and involves climbing down stairs (around 800 steps in total) so wear appropriate footwear. The whole tour is safe and travelled by millions per year. Most mainstay hotels in Krakow arrange these tours so they should be able to provide guidance.
