General presentation
Krynica-Zdrój
Spa and mountain resort, with villas, mineral waters, cable cars, trails and trails of the Beskid Sśdecki.
To understand what Krynica-Zdrój is, you must look at the thermal promenade, Jaworzyna Krynicka and Nikifor Museum. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, forests, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very seasonal and relief. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Églises en bois de la région des Carpates en Pologne et en Ukraine
The Carpathian wooden churches combine dark structures, flat roofs, iconostases and village cemeteries. They bear witness to Orthodox and Greek-Catholic traditions in the valleys of Poland and Ukraine; the visit is better to remain discreet, for many remain linked to a living religious practice.
Town or village
Promenade thermale
The thermal promenade of Krynica-Zdrój Concentrates villas, mineral water buvettes, pavilions and cure station rhythm. Between water tasters, wooden facades and departures to the hills, it shows the worldly and medical slope of this mountain town.
Town or village
Jaworzyna Krynicka
Jaworzyna Krynicka dominates Krynica-Zdrój The summit offers views of the Beskid Sśdecki, winter ski slopes and walking routes in the summer, with a quick transition from the spa town.
Museum
Musée Nikifor
The Musée Nikifor presents the work of the naive painter Nikifor Krynicki, singular figure of Krynica-Zdrój. Its small watercolours of cities, churches and train stations give an intimate visit, very different from the great thermal and mountain stories of the resort.
