Take a relaxing walk in the beautiful park right in the heart of a city, eat some ice-cream or if you’re looking for something more adventurous, rent a go-cart or water bike.

2. Vistula riverside
As long as there are many great spots nearby the Vistula river, the one right in the feet of the Wawel Castle is definitely the most charming. Sit on the wall or spread on the grass and enjoy both the view and a tranquil atmosphere. Also, the riverside has many great routes so feel free to rent a bike or put on some roller-skates and roll along the water!

3. Mounds
There are many mounds surrounding the city centre that are great hiking destination and view spot at the same time. Most of them is free, however Kościuszko Mound offers much more than that and it requires a ticket in price of 14 PLN (10 PLN reduced price) – the tickets not only allows you to see the beautiful panorama of the city but also gives you admission to wonder through the forts, see Kościuszko collection, The Chapel of the Blessed Bronisława and the Columbarium and Wax figure exhibit “Polish Road to Freedom”.

4. Dolne Młyny – Tytano
The former tobacco factory is now one of the most unique places to hangout. This big (around 160,000 square feet) complex of pubs and cafes offer an extremely wide range of craft beers and snacks to choose from. Additionally, the whole place is decorated with fairy lights which makes that late-night outdoor hangout even more remarkable.

Once an abandoned hotel has been transformed into a modern and very cool outdoor bar. Located just by the river it gives you a chance to enjoy the evening landscape in the best way possible. And if you get hungry, don’t hesitate to try their burgers and sandwiches!
