[2025 Krakow Attraction] Travel Guide for Polish Aviation Museum (Updated Jul)

The Polish Aviation Museum (Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego w Krakowie) is a large museum of historic aircraft and aircraft engines in Kraków, Poland. It is located at the site of the no-longer functional Kraków-Rakowice-Czyżyny Airport. This airfield, established by Austria-Hungary in 1912, is one of the oldest in the world. The museum opened in 1964, after the airfield closed in 1963. Has been scored as eighth world's best aviation museum by CNN. For the first half century of its existence the museum used four hangars of the former airfield to display its exhibits. These buildings were not originally designed for this purpose and suffered from various inadequacies, notably insufficient heating in winter. The situation improved when a new main building for the museum opened on 18 September 2010. The collection consists of over 200 aircraft. Several of the aircraft displayed are unique on the world scale, including sailplanes and some 100 aircraft engines. Some of the exhibits are only in their initial stages. The museum houses a large aviation library and photographic archives. #polandtravel #poland #museum #aviation

Enjoying Krakow, Poland, wherever your feet lead you🚶‍♀️🇵🇱 Krakow's Old Town, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is beautiful in itself wherever you go. Famous tourist destinations are great, but how about going wherever your feet lead you sometimes? 💫 Walking along the Vistula River, buying postcards in Sukiennice, just walking along a straight road, looking at the pink sky after the rain, and accidentally entering a doll shop to avoid the rain and looking at cute dolls will all be happy memories💕 #TravelMonth#KrakowTravel #Poland #PolandTravel #Krikow #EuropeTravel

Today I visited the Polish aviation museum in Krakow! it is one of the city's most underrated locations and highly worth a visit! Entry is free on Tuesday so today was a perfect time to visit. Inside you will find lots of cold war era aircraft, as well as British and Swedish jets that used to be operated by Poland. New renovations have recently been made that now house permanent exhibitions from the First World war. #krakow #poland

#myhiddengems I just got back from an incredible summer vacation and had to share my experience at the Polish Aviation Museum in Krakow! 🇵🇱✈️ The museum, located a bit outside the city center, is a fantastic spot for aviation enthusiasts. The entrance fee was just 30 PLN (around $7), which is a steal for the amount of history and exhibits you'll see. The museum's collection is impressive, showcasing everything from vintage aircraft to detailed engines and aviation memorabilia. One highlight was the MiG-21 fighter jet, which looked straight out of a Cold War film. The museum grounds are spacious, allowing for a leisurely exploration of the various planes and interactive exhibits. If you’re in Krakow, the museum is definitely worth a visit, but don't miss nearby attractions like the Wawel Castle and the beautiful Rynek Główny (Main Market Square). Both are easily accessible and offer a great complement to your aviation-themed day. #trip #Krakow #PolishAviationMuseum #TravelDiary #AviationLovers #MuseumVisit

Krakow's representative tourist attraction, the Wieliczka Salt Mine🧂 Krakow's representative tourist attraction, the Wieliczka Salt Mine✨ I was looking forward to going to the salt mine since it was my first time there, but it was so big that it took more than 2 hours to complete the tour. The tour was conducted in several languages, but there was no Korean, so I applied for an English guide, and if you want to listen to the English guide, you have to go early and buy a ticket to take the tour at the time you want-! But in fact, even if you applied in English, the guide was Polish, so his English pronunciation wasn't that good, so there were many parts that I couldn't understand well😅 Don't expect too much, and I think it would be good to listen to it with the feeling that you understand the general flow! The Krakow Wieliczka Salt Mine has been producing salt since the Neolithic Age, but mining has stopped at the moment. It is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site☺️ The various sculptures and works of art you can see during the mine tour, and even the chapel where you have a break in the middle, are all made of salt😮 It's really amazing-! The entire tour time is long, and you have to walk the entire course yourself, so it requires more stamina than you think, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes🤍 📍Wieliczka Salt Mine, Krakow, Poland ✔️ Entrance fee includes English guide 116 PLN #Poland #Poland travel #Krakow #Krakow travel #Salt mine #Wieliczka #Tourist attraction review
