Things to do in and around Kazimierz Dolny

Kazimierz Dolny, Poland

Kazimierz Dolny (Vistula River) by KrisNM

Kazimierz Doln is a small town in Central Poland, on the eastern bank of the Vistula river. It is a considerable tourist attraction as one of the most beautifully situated little towns in Poland. In the late 17th century, a freeze in local economic development enabled the town to preserve its Renaissance urban plan and appearance. Kazimierz Dolny is an art center in Poland. Many painters retreat to this small town to paint and sell their work. Galleries can be found in almost every street, offering for sale sculptures, stained-glass, folk art, and fine art. When visiting don't miss the St. Anna’s Hospital Church, the Wailing Wall, the tenement houses, and the nearby Korzeniowy Dol Gorge.

Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is a love story between the city and the sea. The city lies on the shores of the Gulf of Finland and the blue arms of the Baltic Sea and it is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. The city center is surprisingly beautiful with an urban charm that combines neoclassical buildings, many cobblestone and ancient alleys - evidence of influence from the Russian East and modern Scandinavian architectural style. Helsinki holds a wide range of interesting sites and fascinating attractions.
It is ranked as one of the most livable cities in the world.
Secret: There are different areas of the city that actually have heated sidewalks (some of which have heating elements to keep them free of ice and snow).
