Kazimierz Dolny

     
  Kazimierz Dolny

A few hours drive from Warsaw lies the picture postcard town of Kazimierz Dolny. The town has been in existence for centuries and has been a magnet for many Polish artists who find the architecture and surrounding natural beauty too much to resist.

The town is located at the foot of a hill by the banks of the Vistula river. There are several elevated vantage points along the hilltops around Kazimierz Dolny with the fortified tower, castle ruins and the "hill of the three crosses" being the most popular spots.

Large boats also take tourists up and down the river for a leisurely cruise.

The town itself has a charming market square surrounded by old buildings with a large imposing, hilltop church overlooking the square.

The square and the surrounding streets are dotted with restaurants, bars, galleries and craft shops but the integrity of the place has been maintained and you do not feel the town is over-commercial.
