Nestled in the vibrant city of Kraków, the Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego is a treasure trove for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This expansive museum, located at al.

While the museum primarily captivates with its aviation exhibits, nearby cafés and eateries offer delightful culinary experiences. After exploring the fascinating displays, visitors can indulge in local Polish cuisine. Try the hearty pierogi, filled with savory ingredients, or enjoy a warm bowl of żurek, a traditional sour rye soup. Pair your meal with a glass of locally brewed beer for a taste of Kraków's vibrant food scene.

The museum's standout features include a remarkable collection of over 200 aircraft, with highlights such as the iconic MiG-29 fighter jet and the legendary PZL-37 Łoś bomber.

A very beautiful and in depth museum about the history of aviation in Poland! The staff were very friendly and the plaques are incredibly detailed. There are a TON of planes, helicopters, jets, and missiles here. There is also a room full of propellers and jet engines. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in planes or the history of aviation.

I'm an avid fan of military aircraft and I've visited a fair few aviation museums in Britain down the years, but this was my first visit to a museum abroad. All I can say is wow, this place is huge and awesome! Such a fantastic range of aircraft especially if, like me, you like your cold war Warsaw pact aircraft. We were blessed with warm, sunny weather on our visit which made the outdoor areas and aircraft parks a real pleasure to visit. We spent nearly three and a half hours there but I could have happily spent more.I can whole heartedly recommend a visit here if you have an interest in the subject matter. 10/10

A great aviation museum in Krakow that’s well worth a visit, for any aviation enthusiast.
You can expect to spend about 1.5 to 2 hours exploring the entire collection, which is quite extensive. There’s also a small souvenir shop conveniently located near the entrance, with reasonable prices.

However, I do wish the outdoor aircraft displays were better preserved, as they definitely deserve more attention from the museum staff.

Still a fantastic museum experience for any avgeek visiting Krakow.

Huge amount of old Plaines,  helicopters, and engines from WW1 forward. It's a little dark in some spots. I'm not sure why it's not better lit.  My husband enjoyed looking at the exhibits. One thing he would have liked more is to see the inside of some of the planes, cockpits and such.  But a cool museum, it's included in the Krakow Pass if you have it.

I adored the experience. The whole museum was gorgeous. The history behind each plane, engine, etc. It's an experience everyone should go for at least once. I went with a friend and my boyfriend.

One of our guides was extremely fun. Would love to listen to his facts and opinions on all planes.
Dziękuje proszę pana. Byłeś fajny ha ha.
