Kraków Zoo
Highlight • Structure
There is an inexpensive snack bar both in the zoo and in front of it.
Admission costs 22 złoty as of 2021.
I noticed the very well-kept overall condition and the many flowers.
The standards for animal welfare have been successively improved since the 1990s. The elephant now has an elephant friend and a lot more exercise and the big cats are no longer locked in cages, but have nice enclosures. The giraffes have to stretch a lot to get their food. Investments are still being made in this zoo, and a new chimpanzee enclosure is under construction.
Attention: In the months of July and August and on weekends you have to get up early to get a parking space or to travel by bus.

Camaldolese Monastery in Bielany
Highlight • Religious Site
Here is another quote from the official website of the
Camaldolese monks:
"Oh hermitage, a terrible abode for evil spirits, where the cells of the monks in the headquarters tower like camp tents."
The monastery can be visited every full and half hour, but is closed at lunchtime.
Attention: Unfortunately women and girls are generally not allowed in. In addition, shorts and sleeveless shirts are not permitted. If you don't have anything long to put on, you have to stay outside.
In addition, the primary reason for visiting should be the desire to pray. Against this background it is easier to understand that absolute silence is required within the monastery church. Photos are strictly forbidden inside the monastery church. Outside the church you can take photos and talk to the monks.
For everyone who has made it this far: the monastery church is impressively high and the nave is very wide. On the left and right there are 3 splendidly furnished side chapels. In contrast to this splendor, the rest of the furnishings are rather simple.
If you look to the left immediately after passing through the portal, you will see a passage that leads to a chapel that shows the passion of Christ. If you look to the right, the passage leads to a chapel that shows the matyrium of St. Sebastian.
