- Jana CPrague, Czech Republic4,653 contributionsThis is not an old church, but it is really imposing and you can spot it from many different places around Olsztyn. It was closed when we visited so we never saw the interior.Written July 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pawel_hbgSopot, Poland9,940 contributionsThe Kudypy arboretum is one of the newest botanic gardens in Poland. It is a unique object – it has the only rich collection of native tree and brush species in the country and a collection of green plants typical of Warmia forests, including around 100species of legally protected green plants, also several species which are in danger of extinction.
We have visited it during autumn. It was very nice walk. I would like to see it also during spring so I need to come back there:)Written October 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Warmian Bishops' Castle is a brick gothic complex, built in the XIV century. It's well-known as a temporary home of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, and because of that, you can see some documents written or signed by him.
The normal ticket costs 15 PLN, you need about an hour for seeing everything. During our trip, the Canal+ channel was making a documentary about this place - mainly about diamond vault from 1520. This was the reason for our stops and longer visit. I can tell that I was part of the movie. Well, I was only the reason for the floor creaking... but still, I am an actor from now!
Tip: Be aware, there is another Olsztyn in Poland (south, next to the Kraków), also with the castle. Check carefully if you are searching via the internet correctly.Written May 26, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- podrozniczka60New Jersey14,731 contributionsThis very interesting park is easily accessible as it is in the heart of the city of Olsztyn. Part of it includes Lynostrada . The Olsztyn Łynostrada is an 11 km long pedestrian and bicycle route, which runs along the course of the Łyna River.
The major point of the park is the so called “central square”, where all paths cross. The Park features many monuments and sculptures.
The park is great for all ages.

- podrozniczka60New Jersey14,731 contributionsIn ancient Olsztyn this distinctive church in the pre-war district of Nowe Miasto is not even considered to be that old. It is the tallest and biggest church of Olsztyn and known historically for being a local center of the Solidarity movement in early 1980s. Neo-Gothic style is always impressive and this church is worth a visit.Written April 30, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
