Traveler reviews
Maróti Melitta
★★★★★a month agoIf you visit Krakow, you should definitely check out this place!🌀 You can walk around the lake, it is around 2-3 km, and the entrance is free. You should only pay, if you want to swim in the lake. There are 1-2 nice coffees with food also, the tram is around 5 minutes walk. Silent, clean and peaceful. I definitely recommend🌞 Greetings from Hungary

★★★★★4 months agoThis place is a very short tram ride from the city centre and worth the trip. Walk round it was probably about a mile and great coffee shop to sit outside and watch people on the water. So glad we visited on our last norning
