"Situated above the attractive Salwator neighborhood on the outskirts of Kraków, Kościuszko Mound is a lovely place for a walk and photo opportunity—but also so much more. Built by the people of Kraków in 1820, the commemorative mound honors Polish leader Tadeusz Kościuszko and the nationalist spirit during the time of partitions. Three years after Kościuszko’s death, Kraków residents used earth from the battlefields where he fought to construct the mound. A century later—on the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence—they added soil from the United States. For citizens of Kraków, the mound and its surrounding area, with paths through the woods and fields overlooking the river, are a favorite spot for Sunday outings."

What a great hero! A remarkable engineer and veteran of several wars. The museum is interactive and interesting for those willing to read. The climb on the mound and the view are really fine.

Really nice place to have a walk and learn more about Kościuszko and his story as there is a very little museum bit before the mound itself. Which considering I knew nothing about him before hand, taught me what I needed to know. The mound has great views and is t really a lot of walking so the whole experience doesn’t take that long but was very enjoyable

It's a nice place to visit and enjoy the view of Krakow from above ! It also has a binocular to watch some places closer ! The museum is not something special but you need to pass first and see it and after you walk on the hill !

Very nice place. We chose to walk up to it from our hotel which was an hour walk when we got there we wish we had taken the bus to the actual mound it decided to walk the rest of the way. We wish we had taken the bus up. It was actually a nice walk up and plenty of benches to rest but was made up when we got there as there was a small cafe for us to have a minute and a drink before going to the mound. It was a nice walk up and wasnt that bad to walk very quick to get up but still a nice place to visit. The view from the top was brilliant. When we came down there is also a place to get food which was also nice and the food was good. Also with nice views.

Amazing place that you must visit at Krakow, Poland. You will pay 24 PZL for a normal ticket for an adult.

Such a nice place for picnics and hang out. It’s less touristy and you can get a good view of the city while you relax. It’s about 15mins or more walk from the last tram stop.

very nice view of the Krakow skyline, on weekends there are a lot of people and queues at the ticket office, parking for regulars is easy to find. you can enter by bike, but it requires good mobility. on foot also without any problem. What is very interesting is that there is a nice restaurant next door, which also has an interesting view and is not crowded. on hot days you can buy a frappe / iced coffee and feel very comfortable and pleasant

And worthwhile trip just outside of the center of Kraków. Outstanding 360 degree view. Great perspective of Kraków. The museum is extremely interesting. I remember studying American history and the Declaration of Independence. But had no recollection of reading about Kościuszko and how prolific he was in helping build forts. And other accomplishments during the mid 1700s.
