Czartoryski palace in Pulawy

The town itself isn't anything exceptional in Poland but it has got a wondferful, baroque-classicistic palace of the Czartoryski magnate family. This residential palace became the center of Polish political and cultural life after Poland was finally partitioned in 1795.

The palace is surrounded by a vast romantic park with some cute examples of architecture . One of them is the Sybilla temple (see the picture) that imitates that of Vest in Tivoli, Italy. Two other ones are the Gothic House and the little palace that was built for Marynka, Czartoryski's daughter. It's really a pleasure to take a relaxing stroll in the park while touring all the pieces of nice architecture there. But choose rather a nice day as this is an outdoor experience.

Pulawy is on your way to Kazimierz Dolny (see my Transportation tips)... Since you have to get to Pulawy first anyway, why not make a stop there to see the Czartoryski residence? It makes sense to do the two within one day :-)

Boat trip on the river

If you have the time, hop on board of one of the boats for a trip on the Vistula river. You'll get the scenic view of the river valley or... you can have a nap if you've done too much walking! ;-)

To get to the boat harbour, head towards the river from Senatorska St., it's just 2 minutes' walk from there.
