Tips from the Community
The ferry operates during the high tourist season, provided the water level is high enough to allow for crossing. When planning a route that includes a ferry crossing, it's worth having a "Plan B."

It's a good stretch of promenade, but I don't recommend riding there. It's narrow and easy to hit someone.

The ferry operates from 8:00 to 18:00 during the summer, and 8:00 to 17:00 for the rest of the year, so plan your trips accordingly to avoid missing the last ride.

The market square in Kazimierz Dolny was marked out after the city was founded under Magdeburg law in 1406. It is the central urban point of the city, with an open view of the parish church and the castle ruins. The market square has retained its historical layout with a characteristic undeveloped northern part of the square. For centuries, it has served a commercial and social function. It is currently the tourist heart of Kazimierz, surrounded by historic tenement houses, including Przybyłów, Celejowska and Czarnotów. In its center stands a historic well from the 19th century, one of the symbols of the city.
