"Situated above the attractive Salwator neighborhood on the outskirts of Kraków, Kościuszko Mound is a lovely place for a walk and photo opportunity—but also so much more. Built by the people of Kraków in 1820, the commemorative mound honors Polish leader Tadeusz Kościuszko and the nationalist spirit during the time of partitions. Three years after Kościuszko’s death, Kraków residents used earth from the battlefields where he fought to construct the mound. A century later—on the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence—they added soil from the United States. For citizens of Kraków, the mound and its surrounding area, with paths through the woods and fields overlooking the river, are a favorite spot for Sunday outings."
Good view of Krakow from the top.
Nice walk from the city centre along the riverside through a park then the mound. About 40 minutes. The entrance is the same as the museum. Reasonable price.

A great place to visit if you are in the Kraków area. The museum was very well presented and describes the life and experiences of Tadeusz Kościuszko.
All displays are in Polish and English languages. The mound itself offers a fantastic view of the whole Kraków skyline.
The ticket prices were very reasonable. Parking is free and close to the entrance.

We visited the exhibition and then the mound. There is free parking just in front. It is a worthwhile attraction. The museum has interesting features for kids. Outside you walk in circles and look around if there is visibility.

An interesting way to spend a couple of hours. If you're a tourist, it should be on your checklist. If you're a Krakow native you've probably been here a couple of times. It's a Kosciuszko museum that opens up onto the mound from which there are amazing vistas onto the city. It's easily accessible by public transport. Definitely recommend.

Very affordable prices (87pln for a small family for a guided tour). The museum is great and the city panorama view from the top is amazing. Great attraction with great history behind it, suitable for kids.

It is nice for the view point. The museum is small.
Going high up is the main fun moment here. Also great for walking in nearby neighborhood.

We visited this spot when we wanted to climb a hill in Poland – which is quite rare since there aren’t many hills around. :) The reward was an amazing view of Krakow that suddenly didn’t feel so huge. There’s also a nice museum and a well-kept area worth checking out. If you’re in Krakow, this place is a must-see.

there is free parking right outside the entrance. the only way to get to the mound is to go through the exhibition which has a cheap entry fee but once you are through the exhibition you get to the mound. once at the top of the mound, you get amazing views of krakow and the surrounding area. it was very quiet when we went. definitely worth it to visit!
