This 11th-century abbey takes a bit of time to reach, but it’s worth the slog. Perched on an outcrop above the Vistula, its beautifully situated. Tyniec is a lazy, peaceful place, perfect for a slow summer afternoon. It’s hard to believe that scenes from Schindler’s List were filmed here.
Currently tram Nos 18, 19 and 22 run from the centre to Most Grunwaldzki, and then bus No 112 runs from the stop of the same name
