Top Parks in Lesser Poland

Get there around 8 AM. The park is way quieter, and you can enjoy the trails without the crowds. I thought I’d sleep in, but I was so glad I got an early start!

Wear sturdy shoes! I wore flip-flops thinking, 'It’s just a park,' but the trails had some rough patches. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

Download a map before you go. I didn't and ended up lost for a bit, which wasted some time. The signage isn’t always the best, so being prepared helps.

Look for the less popular trails. I took the route that everyone raves about, and it was packed. The hidden paths were so much more peaceful and beautiful!

If you're planning a picnic, grab some snacks from a nearby grocery store instead of overpriced cafes. I found a nice spot near the benches by the Wisla River. Perfect view and way cheaper!

watch out for cyclists! they zoom through the park and i nearly got run over. stay alert or stick to the grassier paths if you're walking with kids.

I suggest setting aside at least two hours to stroll around. There are lots of nooks and crannies I missed when I rushed through it. Take your time and soak in the pretty sights!

If you love coffee, check out the little café inside the park. I found their prices surprisingly cheap for Krakow, and the view is lovely!

I suggest visiting early in the morning around 8 am for a peaceful stroll. The park is less crowded at that time and you can enjoy the tranquility and the fresh air.

I suggest downloading the park map before you arrive. The signs can be tricky, and having it on your phone made it soooo much easier to navigate, trust me!

Bring cash for entry fees! I was caught off guard when I realized some places inside the park don't accept cards. Always good to have some in hand, just in case.

I recommend packing extra snacks and water. The hikes can be tougher than expected, and having food on hand saved me some time from looking for shops!
