What to see in Kazimierz Dolny
The heart of the town is the market square with its distinctive well and the Przybyła brothers’ townhouses. Walk up to the castle ruins and the watchtower for a view over the Wisła valley. It is worth climbing the Hill of Three Crosses, strolling through a loess ravine and looking into the parish church. In summer a boat cruise on the Wisła is popular. An hour and a half to three hours on site is enough for a relaxed visit and lunch.
How to get there from Warsaw
There is no direct, convenient train. The rail route requires a change and a transfer from Puławy or Nałęczów, which lengthens the journey. By car the drive takes about two hours. The most comfortable way is straight to the market square by private transfer: from 950 PLN (ca. 238 EUR) per car return, with pickup from your hotel and a driver who waits on site.
