克拉科夫

This is one of the only places to see the Polikarpov 02 made famous by the women flying night-witches at the Russian front. Also importantly the beautiful spitfire; manned by Polish pilots in the battle of Britain. Also of note are the American, English and German WWII trainers on display; namely the Stearman, Moth and Jungmann. And too many Migs...

My 4th visit to Krakow and my first to the Polish Aviation Museum..I have always thought about going and was pleased that they had in recent months placed a tram stop nearby to facilitate museum visitors.. (No 4 tram)..Our week stay was sun filled only raining on our return home yesterday...we had prebooked Auschwitz for the Sunday so that only left Monday or Tuesday for the Air Museum..fortunately I checked the museum website and its closed on Monday so we went Tuesday which is free but would have gladly paid the £2.60 entrance fee..well worth it.This is a MUST SEE..check the museum website for opening days/times so you won't be disappointed..PS got some cracking photos

We caught the number 4 tram to the museum tram stop. We found this very interesting, lots of different planes to see from various different countries from the UK to Russia. We went into the Pope's helicopter (this you could do at certain times only). It was a very cold day when we visited so we could possibly have stayed longer if it was warmer. Well worth visiting when in Krakow.

Krakow!One of the cities that I did not expect that t would be so beautiful.In August 2014 my niece decided to study in Poland, Krakow.Because she and I are very close, she asked me to come down here anyway and I as a traveler leaves `s offer of course not overshoot ..What I noticed is that if I told them I was going to Krakow that many of my friends said, Krakow, now that I do not really like a vacation or Poland now coolness say why do not you go to the south ..., Well I'm glad I went to Krakow!On January 5, 2015 we were on the way, a friend and I decided to stay a week in Krakow in Wielopole hotel (see my review of this hotel!)When we 01.00 once arrived at the hotel we had some of the "famous" alcohole seen shops. we are right then dived into our bed and have a good sleep.The next day we were plunged into the center and we enjoyed a nice cup of coffee and a beautiful day in Krakow, it was sunny, a little bit of snow and the people were friendly.Then we walked a lap and we went cross off where we went to eat the rest of the week!- Grande Grill- Piano Bar- Beer House- House of Beers-etc etc! (Can not come on the names).Finally we spent a week together in Krakowwhat we have seen:A beautiful city with many different cultures and food.-The Army Museum-Auswitsch-Brikenau-Schindlers Museum-Zakopane, A mountain! (Must see !!!!!)-Joodse DistrictKrakow is one of the places you do not expect to have so much to do, it is an open center, a beautiful city and great food!

I particularly love history and everything that has a connection with it boost me to study it and explore it. Krakow has a wonderful old city in its heart.

Firstly, the Museum is not the easiest place to find (we travelled by tram). Not visible from the Polish Aviation Museum tramstop it's to the tram's left. The tramstop is in the middle of a main road. Cross the road and there's a road ahead of you running up a hill through trees towards an apartment block. Bear left down the side of the apartment block and you can see the Museum ahead.Believe me, it's worth the walk! I've never seen so many iconic aircraft in the same place in my life.Inside the main entrance there's a few WW1 fighters and a Spitfire amongst others. The main area of the Museum is outdoors and occupies what must have been a former airfield and it's massive.A lot of Russian jet fighters, bombers and a few oddities. We took over 3 hours looking round!There was also an excellent WW1 aviation exhibition full of fuselages (a lot seem to have lost their wings) in an adjacent hangar which I'm not sure is permanent. This place is well worth a visit if you're interested in aviation.

Have been there with kids. Guys enjoyed the exposition. It us really huge. But we were walking without guide as there is no russian speaking tour. Kids saw the group of Polish kids was allowed to get into the plane outside. After they left the plane it was closed what really made us upset. Later we wanted to try the gyroscope (it additionally cost 5 zloty for person), but is was impossible because were was nobody from stuff who could do that. We were proposed to wait approximately one hour when we PROBABLY will be able to try gyro. In otherall interesting place but there is mych space for improvement though!

i had been there several times and felt myself as at home my heart filled out with love and respect,than had chances to visit many places there as square,salt mine,some artificial lakes,local restaurants,you are going to enjoy every moment during your visit with the smiling fruithfull staffs and people..

I have simply never seen as many aircraft, missile launchers, engines etc as this museum has! What an excellent place, and a 'must do' for any aviation fan! Entry is cheap anyway, but it's free on Tuesdays!

This is a great museum, most of the main aircraft on display are the only of their type in the world and were Hermann Goerrings personal collection, relocated from Berlin as the allies appreciated! We booked a guided tour in English which was well worthwhile and included a personal tour of Pope John Paul II's helicopter,overall it really improved quality of the visit as the placarded informality is limited. The musuem has some ways I feel it could improve. There is an interactive room for education but it is quite limited. A repetitive short film would be a great way to put the history of Polish Aviation in context as well as the history of the base and musuem which is really quite interesting. Well worth a visit.

Free entry on Tuesdays. Take a taxi from the centre (About £4). Must be one of the best air museums I have ever been too. Great WW1 displays but the WW2/ cold war/nato stuff was first class. Seem to have made a great effort to build a schools/education section..Wrap up warm..a lot is outside and if you like military hardware you'll want to take your time.'MIG alley' a must see. Also Pope JP's helicopter open to view at, seemingly, random times.. Allow 2-3 hours. Museum allows very good aircraft access, as long as you don't clamber on or touch. Limited refreshments and shop. Staff at reception will call you a taxi to take you back. All good.

We went just before dusk, so had to use a flashlight for the outside display - so I'd suggest going around mid-day. The museum's extent of aircraft is fantastic - dating back to the start of the 20th C. Outside is the 50s - Present day aircraft plus helicopters. At the rear of the museum is an interactive room, where you can sit in an aircraft and take control of the rudders and ailerons, and a replica enclosed cockpit running Microsoft Flight Sim. This was a fantastic touch, even though the sim wasn't working properly and every time the flight was reset the aircraft would bank sharply and spin down to the ground. The museum is accessible by the tram line straight out from the centre of Krakow. See posts about public transport in Krakow to get tips - we got stung with a £20 fine (100 Zlotys) for buying student tickets - apparently cards showing us as students at London City Uni weren't valid. The museum is cheap too, 14 Zlotys if I remember rightly, which comes in at around £2.50. That was student prices though.

You must visit this museum if you are an aviation fan. A bit out the center but in summer a 30 min walk of a 10 in cab drive. Most of the planes are located outside, many MIG fighters, helicopters, Sukoy etc . Inside the museum 2 jet engines on display and several Yaks. All very cool.

the museum is located few minutes by tram outside Krakow. It has a large display. There is also an interactive room where one can experiment with basic physics and science of planes

The aviation museum is 6 or 7 tram stations from city center, and it's absolutely worth of visit. After all historic places or churches, this will be a nice break. Planes and helicopters from different periods, pilot uniforms from cold war, ejection seats, anti radiation equipment and much more... If you like planes, this is a place for you.
