Lanckorona is a great example of the fact that the passing time sometimes avoids cities and towns. It is so small that you do not need to create extensive sightseeing plans, prepare addresses worth seeing, but it has so much charm and points that are worth checking in that it is enough for a few days of walking. The whole town looks a bit like a live open-air museum. Here is an old whitewashed cottage, there are ruins of a 14th century castle, a villa around the corner, where Józef Piłsudski, Józef Beck, Ignacy Mościcki, and later Karol Wojtyła stayed.
Take your first steps to the Museum Chamber, at the very market square. The exhibition itself is modest, but interesting, and it authentically presents the history of Lanckorona, archaeological excavations from the castle area, items evoking the everyday life of the inhabitants and, most importantly, a model of the market square before the fire in the 19th century. It is here in the Chamber that you will meet true enthusiasts who know all the Lanckorona secrets, stories, courtyards and all the surrounding cats. They will be happy to show you paths to interesting places. It is also worth taking advantage of the tours organized by guides, such as "Everyday life of old Lanckoronians", "Secrets of the former Lanckorona buildings".
With or without a guide, it is worth climbing Lanckorońska Mountain (550 m above sea level) towering over the city. On its top, there are the ruins of a 14th-century castle, one of many built at the behest of Casimir the Great. On its slopes, there are two viewpoints, from which, when the visibility is good, looking south, you can even see the panorama of the Tatra Mountains, Diablak, or Babia Góra, and when looking north, you can see the Kościuszko Mound in Kraków. The alleys and paths around the Lanckorońska Mountain are 10 km long, lead through various terrain and have charming names dating back to the 1920s, such as Aleja Zakochanych or Aleja Silent Whispers.
It is more than certain that you will find a village square with wooden buildings. Unique and the only one of its kind in Poland. Here you will discover angels, beautiful ceramics, cafes and be amazed that people can live so peacefully, in such a timelessness.
A few steps from the market square, in our Arka Cafe you can not only drink delicious coffee with cinnamon and ginger or good loose tea. Throughout the year, we organize vernissages, concerts, wine tastings, dancing parties, and in January, the annual "Interpersonal Christmas carols" takes place. On the way, from the café, you will find our original Artistic Ceramics Gallery. This is where you can buy decorative and functional works of mine, my wife and our friends - sculptors, painters and ceramists.
Hence, the smell of warm bread will lead you to the Siwek bakery with over 100 years of tradition. Buy some bread and necessarily a Lanckorona bun.
Lanckorona is already old, but it does not rest on its laurels. For several years, events have been organized here: Easter Market, Midsummer Fair and the most interesting Angel Festival in the Town - an event that has been taking place in the village for 10 years.
