Favorite Thing: There is an audio-visual tourist information unit located by the entrance to the basilica.
It costs 2.00 zl (coins 2.00, 1.00 and 0.5 zl acceptable).
Languages available:
- English,
- French,
- German,
- Polish.
There are info tables with information (history) on Calvarian Basilica in English located just by the unit.
I recommend you to buy a guide-book in a Kiosk z dewocjonaliami before you start your trip around.

Favorite Thing: It's always a great pleasure to receive a postcard from far, mysterious place. You can buy postcards in Kiosk z dewocjonaliami opened daily: 7.00 am - 12.15 pm and 1.15 pm - 5.00 pm.
Then look for a red post-box as on my picture to send them.

Favorite Thing: There are public phones available just outside House of Pilgrim (Dom Pielgrzyma) - look at my picture.
Warning: international calls are still very expensive in Poland - it should change in a few years. Usually it's a few times more expensive to call abroad from Poland than from abroad to Poland (7 times reffering to New Zealand for example - CRAZY!).

Ignorant me! How did I miss Kalwaria until now? Always thought that Czestochowa is the most important pilgrimage site in Poland, but now I understand that there is much more. Thanks for this fantastic tour, Matt. | HORSCHECK Tue Feb 6, 2007 21:23 UTC
Matt, what a massive page with loads of interesting photos. I quite like the Polish red Poczta boxes. Perhaps I should take this place into account for a possible daytrip from Krakow if I ever go there again. *winkygrin* | Raimix Sat Jan 6, 2007 19:38 UTC
Nice page! Pitty I wasnt her when I was in Krakow, maybe another time. Do you know, Vilnius has Kalwaria as well, but a bit smaller ;) Raimis. | ZiOOlek Fri Oct 27, 2006 01:34 UTC
What about shops selling fernitures, Matt? When I last visited Kalwaria every second shop sold fernitures... :) Anyway, great overview... Made me want to visit the town again... :) |
