Timeline

    Krako Slow Wines

    Grab a natural wine or a quick bite at Krako Slow Wines. It is just a minute’s walk from MOCAK, so you can start here and head toward the museum grounds.

  2. 15:20

    Garden of Experiences

    Walk 17 minutes south to the Garden of Experiences. It is a calm place with installations on optics and astronomy, perfect for a pre-sunset stroll before the crowds arrive.

  3. 15:50

    Polish Aviation Museum

    Arrive at the Polish Aviation Museum. The open grounds and hangars offer a clear view toward the west. Find a spot where you can see the horizon.

    Polish Aviation Museum

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light hits the historic aircraft and the modern pavilion, creating a striking contrast against the evening sky.

  5. 16:35

    Craftownia

    Head back north to Craftownia for a Polish craft beer. It is a 15-minute walk from the museum area via MOCAK, and the pub stays open until 01:00.

Local tip

The museum grounds are large. Use the Garden of Experiences as a stepping stone to keep the walk manageable and avoid crossing the whole district in one go.
