To get to the Mound, we followed our guide books' recommended walk, starting at Salwator tram depot and walking just over a mile (uphill) through Zwierzyniec, a nice quiet district with some picturesque streets and greenery. The Mound itself is pretty easy and quick to climb up, and gives very good views over the city. You have to pay to... More

The mound, being just West of the old town, gives a great panoramic view of the entire city. You can get there easily on the 100 or 101 bus, and the ticket to get in is only a few dollars.

This is not the same hill as on the map and described, this attraction is west of the city. The map shows a different hill, within walking distance from the city, but with a great view :)

If the weather is nice, it's worth visiting. You can climb all the way up, starting your trip in Salwator (it's a district in Krakow) - and that is a very nice route, among trees and parks, but again: only if its a nice warm sunny day.

If you have free time during your trip to Krakow and the weather is great go there. View is wonderfull, you can see all city. There is no elevator but going up is nice. Around Mound there is park which is also very nice.

The mound itself has a short staircase up and then follows a winding path which circles around the mound to the top. It's a... More

We walked along the river to Salwator to see the mound. It took about 20 minutes from the Castle area but there is quite a hill to climb just to get to the mound so you may want to take a bus. The mound and surrounding walls were worth the walk but we did not go to the top of... More

Important place for polish people. This is a monument one of the biggest polish hero Tadeusz Kościuszko. It was build by the citizens by hand only. Only interesting thing in this place is panorama view. The best is from the meadow below mound.
