Every group is accompanied by a guide. You can rent a headset with an option of several languages to choose from. Make sure to book tickets in advance, also dress appropriately. The cave has an amazing history and has gorgeous stalactites, stalagmites and other cave formations! You cannot take photos at the cave. Next to the cave you will find Neandertal Center. Very informative, headset available as well. There is a big parking for both attractions (paid), short walk thru gorgeous forest to the cave.

Undoubtedly, the Royal Castle in Chęciny is a magic place. Recently, a complete revitalization of the Castle has been proceeded and the castle is now shining anew. During the day, wandering through the fortress, you will be surprised by the amount of attractions you encounter. Moving back in time come and see the castle's crew in historical costumes. Ferro Aquilae Team is inviting you for a dance. In the background, you may hear the clangs of swords and loud uproars. It is the knight's fights and arquebuses shots. In the yard of the lower castle, the armourer is precisely preparing the armour. Is the castle preparing for a siege? There is a Cage of Shame nearby which is awaiting for the prisoners and just behind it, there are enormous stocks. And in the dungeon? Long time ago there was a prisoner chained to its walls...In the treasury, the gold and the silver shimmers, the coins are falling out from the chests. The castle is old, but full of life! The Royal Castle is located on the Castle Mountain. In order to reach the ruins from the Chęciny centre, it is advisable to follow Jędrzejowska street, heading to the southwest to the car park at the foot of the castle. Next, follow the Royal Route up to the fortress' gate. You can choose another, more difficult trail to the castle - from the main square follow a stony road past the Chęciny Commune Office, turn right next to the church dedicated to Saint Bartholomew and head upwards following a steep path towards the castle.

I have seen the Castle several times. Last time we decided to take the Castle at night tour with guide Dominik. It was a great experience. It was a small group of us. Dominik was very informative. He made sure everyone had enough time to see everything and that everyone keep up with the group since you have to go up the hill and many stairs ( we had kids and elderly in the group). The Castle is a great place to see during a day, but it is an amazing adventure to take the Night Tour. The tour started around sunset and finished at night.
