"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."

Kościuszko Mound

This was a truly lovely experience, definitely worth 5 stars! While I wouldn't call it an absolute 'must-visit' if you are on a very tight schedule, I highly recommend it if you have an afternoon. ​We took the tram to the end of the line and enjoyed the pleasant, scenic walk up to the hill. The real reward is the view from the top—it’s a stunning 360-degree panorama of the entire city of Krakow and the beautiful surrounding landscape. To get to the viewpoint, you must pass through an exhibition (which is included in the ticket​). There’s also a very cozy panorama café. We walked up, but taking the bus back down was very convenient. A fantastic, relaxing activity.

One of the most interesting places to visit in Krakow. Paying the fee allows you to visit an exhibition dedicated to the Polish national hero and the access to the picturesque hill (see the pictures below). Just hanging out within the museum complex (for free) is already worth the trip: the fortress looks amazing, there's a cafe with a view over the city, the forest around and the air are clean.

The visit to the Kościuszko Mound was a fantastic experience. The view from the top of Krakow and its surroundings is truly impressive, and the rich history of this place gives it a unique atmosphere. I definitely recommend visiting it to anyone interested in history, nature, or beautiful views.

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.

Great views of Krakow panorama, nice cafe and walking areas (if nice weather). Today was rainy, windy, cold, and cloudy, hence almost empty. The edge of the path leading to the top is quite steep, so one must take extra care not to trip over the brook stones, as a fall could be very painful.

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.
