Grab a coffee and light bites at Nowa Prowincja. The artistic atmosphere and hidden room on the first floor make for a calm start before the climb. It opens at 08:00, so this timing is safe.
15:21
Walk up to Kościuszko Mound. The grounds open at 09:00, and you have plenty of time to ascend. The mound is an artificial hill built in honor of Tadeusz Kościuszko, offering a panoramic view of the city.
16:06
Watch the sunset. At 16:06 on this date, the sun sets toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 15:12, so you will have been enjoying the view for nearly an hour as the light shifts from bright to soft.
17:06
Head down to Jama Michalika for a drink. Famous for its beautiful Secession-style interior, it is open until 22:00. It is best to come here for the ambiance rather than the food.
Local tip
