TOP LANDMARKS IN POLAND
CONTENTS
WAWEL CASTLE, KRAKOW
If you are visiting Krakow, one of the top landmarks in Poland you should visit is Wawel Castle, the crown jewel of Kraków.
It was a rainy night as I joined a less-than-full night walking tour in November when I was in Poland for over a month.
Since it was raining, the guide cut short the tour. I had fallen in love with the castle, and imagine my disappointment!
So I went ahead and booked another walking tour during the day, and luckily, it was worth my money and time, thanks to the sunshine.
During the day is when I noticed that this isn’t just a castle; it’s a symbol of Polish pride and resilience.
Imagine walking through centuries of history, where every stone tells a tale of kings, battles, and, let’s not forget, dragons.
Yes, you heard that right, dragons!
Wawel Castle is an impressive castle with a rich history and architecture that is now a mix of Renaissance, Baroque and medieval styles.
Did you know? it is one of the popular free things to do in Krakow.
It is free to enter the extensive gardens or the exteriors of this UNESCO heritage site-listed castle.
Nestled on the banks of the Vistula River on Wawel Hill, Wawel Castle is open to visitors as early as 6 AM(check online before you go).
So, if you are here during the peak months, I highly recommend joining morning tours to avoid the crowds.
If you want to get the best captures and views of Wawel Castle, I recommend going to the Debnicki Bridge on the other side of the river, which can be reached by walking along the bed.
The Wawel Cathedral within the premises is another free and worthy-to-visit attraction in Krakow.
Note that for other attractions like the Royal Tombs, the Sigismund Bell Tower, and the Cathedral Museum, you need to buy tickets.
Dragon’s Den is a cave with a monster-legend behind it.
Believed to be home to dragons, you can check out the entire underground area for some fun.
- How to Reach: Hop on a tram or take a leisurely walk from the Old Town.
- Opening Hours: Varies by season, but generally 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
- Entry Fees: It depends on the exhibit, but plan for around 25 PLN.
- Best Time to Visit: Spring or fall, when the crowds are thinner
MALBORK CASTLE
The list of beautiful Polish landmarks is incomplete without mentioning Malbork Castle, the largest castle in the world by land area.
I was researching on the day trips from Gdansk, the coastal city in the north of Poland.
That’s when I learned I could explore Malbork Castle, which would not be just another castle.
Yes, for starters, Malbork Castle is the largest in the world in terms of area.
With Malbork Castle’s size being over 52 acres, it is also the largest brick structure in the world.
Malbork Castle is a masterpiece of medieval fortress architecture built in the 13th century by the Teutonic Knights.
This brick castle is a testament to the order’s power and wealth.
- How to Reach: Train from Gdańsk.
- Opening Hours: Summer, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM; they shorten the hours in winter probably to give the ghosts some privacy.
- Entry Fees: Around 45 PLN.
- Best Time to Visit: Summer to explore the extensive grounds
THE WIELICZKA SALT MINE
Wieliczka is a UNESCO-protected 13th-century salt mine consisting of underground tunnels.
Open only during the summer, this underground mine would take you through the deep tunnels leading to the mines and the only underground chapel in the world.
Not your average mine, Wieliczka plunges you into an underground world of chapels, lakes, and sculptures, all carved from salt.
It’s like stepping into a fantasy novel, minus the dragons.
A must-visit if you are traveling in summer.
Again, it’s closer to Krakow and I would recommend traveling from there if Krakow is on your itinerary.
It’s a testament to the ingenuity and spirit of the Polish people.
- How to Reach: A short trip from Kraków. Easily reached by bus or train from Kraków.
- Opening Hours: 7:30 AM – 7:30 PM in the summer, shorter hours in the off-season.
- Entry Fees: Approximately 89 PLN for adults, with discounts available.
- Best Time to Visit: Year-round, offering a fantastic escape from the summer heat and a unique experience in the winter.
THE CLOTH HALL, KRAKOW
In the heart of Kraków’s Main Market Square, the Cloth Hall is a testament to medieval commerce.
While exploring the Krakow market square, the Cloth Hall is something that grabs your attention first. I just loved how medieval it feels, while walking inside passing through all the souvenir shops.
One of the most popular landmarks in Poland, it is worth a quick stroll that you cannot miss
It is one of the oldest medieval structures in Europe, and it certainly feels medieval being here.
It is one of the cutest markets that I visited in Poland.
Walk back in time to browsing stalls that sell some of the finest Polish handicrafts.
It’s like stepping into a Renaissance fair, but every day!
How to Reach: A stroll through Kraków’s Old Town.
Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late evening to avoid the crowds.
STOP BY THE CRANE IN GDANSK
As you pass by the shipyards, you can’t help feeling as if you have arrived in a Dutch city like Amsterdam.
With canals and Dutch-styled buildings, I instantly remembered my travels in Amsterdam a few weeks ago.
What you can’t miss amidst these elegant uniform buildings is the Crane, which sits on the Motlawa River. It stands out today due to its antique appearance.
Our guide explained the mechanism of how it worked, and I couldn’t stop being amazed by the engineering feat of medieval times.
The Crane is one of the defining symbols of Gdansk, which was once a defensive fort, port crane and town gate.
In its heyday, it was the biggest working crane in the world, with a lifting capacity of four tonnes to a height of 36 feet (11 metres).
It used to transfer cargo and place masts on ships, with the wheels powered by men walking (or running) inside them.
Sadly, 80% of it was destroyed in The Battle for Gdansk in 1945.
After the war, it was rebuilt, and part of it is now at the National Maritime Museum.
There are also permanent exhibitions detailing life in the port between the 16th and 18th centuries, as well as models of lighthouses and life-size recreations of counting houses.
VISIT AUSCHWITZ BIRKENAU MEMORIAL
No visit to Poland is complete without paying respects at Auschwitz-Birkenau, where history’s darkest hours are remembered.
It’s a powerful, sobering experience that echoes the importance of peace and humanity.
Auschwitz is the place where the most gruesome concentration camps of WW II are located.
It’s not a pleasant day trip to take, but history is to be known.
However, I would suggest you avoid it if traveling with young children. There are trains and buses from Auschwitz to Warsaw.
Alternatively, you could opt for any of these guided, inclusive tours.
This low-cost combinational tour of Auschwitz and Krakow from Warsaw is worth if you are short and time and want to do both without digging deep in your pocket.
If you want to opt for a private combo tour, this one is good.
How to Reach: The Auschwitz-Birkenau Full-Day Group Tour is worth doing if you want a cheaper trip to the camp alone.
This tour is highly popular, has great reviews and gets sold out often.
- Opening Hours: 7:30 AM – 7:00 PM in summer, shorter in winter.
- Entry Fees: Free, but guided tours require a fee of around 60 PLN.
- Best Time to Visit: Booking a tour in advance is recommended. Visit during quieter months, like late fall or early spring, for a more reflective experience.
THE ROYAL LAZIENKI, WARSAW
Okay, this is the last park, I promise. But you will agree that it certainly should be among the
After covering all the top attractions in the capital city I was looking for unusual things to do in Warsaw.
That’s when I stumbled upon Lazienki.
This palace-and-garden complex is Warsaw’s most beautiful attraction.
It offers a glimpse into the royal lifestyle with its palaces, a theater, and peacocks roaming freely.
Lazienki is not only the largest park in Warsaw but also probably the loveliest among its 70+ parks.
Earlier, this park served as a huge bathing area and later was the summer residence of the last king of Poland, popularly known as the Palace on Water.
This mammoth park, a part of the famous Warsaw Royal Route, has many amphitheatres, including the theatre on the aisle.
You can see orangeries, historic monuments, a quiet lake, botanical gardens and many lanes flanked by greenery, making Lazienki Park a perfect place to unwind or even have a picnic in the summer.
If you want to enjoy the park with a guide, there are two interesting tours that I would like you to sign up for.
You can sign up for a private Gondola cruise tour around Lazienki, which also gives you skip-the-line tickets.
Or you can take this combo tour of Wilanow Palace and Lazienki, which is recommended if you are pressed for time.

THE ROYAL CASTLE, WARSAW
The Royal Palace is the crown of the old town, and it is definitely one of the best things to do in Warsaw.
This simple yet elegant castle has a long and interesting history, during which the various monarchs exerted their influence upon the people in all ways.
The Polish king Zygmunt III Waza built the Royal Castle after moving the capital from Krakow to Warsaw.
This original castle has been restored many times throughout history, which makes it worth a visit.
Now known as the Royal Castle Museum, which is open to the public, you can check out the main attractions, such as the majestic Ballroom, Throne room, and Senate chamber.
If you are looking for a guided tour, I would suggest this Skip The Line Royal Castle Guided Tour, which is valid for one day.

- Opening Hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM, closed on Mondays.
- Entry Fees: Around 30 PLN, with some free admission days.

MARY’S BASILICA, KRAKOW
You’ll see that there are many churches in Krakow.
There are about a hundred of them. The ancient ones are in Krakow, an old town.
Among them is St. Mary’s Church, older than the market square. Although it’s hard to tell, this church is one of the most impressive structures in the medieval old town.
The church’s tower has a fascinating history.
This iconic brick church is famous for its wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss and the Hejnał Mariacki.
Every day in the evening, you can see a man playing the trumpet, a note being played from the 13th century.
It is a traditional trumpet call played every hour from its highest tower.
The guard that played was shot with an arrow killing him instantly.
As a result, the guard stops playing mid-note even today.
You can climb to the top of this tower for free, enjoy great views, and say hello to the guard.
- How to Reach: Located in the Main Market Square of Kraków, easily accessible on foot.
- Best Time to Visit: Early morning or during evening mass to avoid the crowds.
- Opening Hours: Mon-Sat 11:30 AM – 6:00 PM, Sun 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM.
- Entry Fees: Free for church services. A small fee (around 10 PLN) is charged for visiting the altarpiece.
STROLL THE STREETS OF OLD TOWN GDANSK
Gdańsk’s Main Town, with its colourful facades and the iconic Neptune’s Fountain, is like stepping into a maritime fairytale and one of the must-visit landmarks in Poland to be added to your bucket list.
What’s different in the case of the old town of Gdansk is that the old town is not really old.
Gdansk was almost entirely wiped out in World War II.
So the old town was actually reconstructed to resemble the earlier buildings, which were all built in the Dutch Renaissance style because the earlier architects were from the Netherlands.
Did you know? Most of the street names in the old town of Gdansk haven’t been changed in the last 500 years or so.
Also, unlike the old towns in other cities, you’ll not find a square.
Instead, the old town area is spread between the streets, beginning at Dluga street or Long street, and extends up to Dlugi Targ or the Long Market.
On the way, you’ll pass through the majestic Town Hall and Arthur’s Hall.
I had joined a free walking tour of the old town, and the guide told us about the Royal route, which includes the Dluga street.
Encompassing many prominent buildings, it starts at Wyznna street and passes through Dlugi Targ, which ends at Brama Zielon.
I just navigated using Google maps to find the others not covered in the tour.
All the places are well-marked on the maps and you should be able to find them easily.
Here are some of the guided walking tours that you can try.
There are different types of tours to explore Gdansk old town, with some including audio guides.
VISIT WILANOW PALACE FOR BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE
Famously known as ‘The Versailles of Poland,’ Wilanow Palace is a classic example of Baroque architecture. The huge well-manicured is a lovely attraction against the light-yellow coloured Palace as the backdrop, parts of which are open to visitors.

The lake is the main attraction, but the surrounding Napiwodsko-Ramucka near the Lyna river, the castle at Nidzica and the museum are other things to explore.
