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.
