Search hotels in Szczawnica

We enjoyed cabel cart to the top of the hill Palenica. We dont ski but we liked the view. We liked lunch in the Restaurant Maria next to the Lower park (Park Dolny). There are plenty grocery shops, clothes chops even cosmeticians shops. There is beautiful castle Niedzica nearby that is worth visit. One thing that we were missing were more kid's playground and indoor playground. Because during our stay it rained and we had to search for different indoor activities.

The hotel is located in an excellent place- in the centre of the town, so everything is just a stone throw away. If you have several meetings in the town then you can conveniently nip into hotel in between meetings to change or take a shower. Hotel has a conference room too. The indoor swimming pool is located in the main building and is great, however if your room is in one of two smaller buildings then to get to the pool you must go outside, which is not great. The car park on equipped with high tech so you don't have to keep the ticket as the cameras will recognise your reg and will open automatically-one less worry.... The food is delicious and always fresh, staff are really polite and hard working. Complimentary WiFi is OK, but just OK, it tends to drop signal a lot.... Daily room service, complimentary slippers, towels and bathrobes in the rooms , very comfy beds too. Our room.had a nice view from the balcony. From the hotel you can either go to the main street and the park or to the promenade along the Grajcarek River, which will take you to the Slovakian border- a very nice walk or bike ride.

Szczawnica is for sure the best place to explore the Pieniny mountains and its surrounding. Directly located at the Dunajec river and the mountains it offers a great variety of things to do such a hiking up to multiple peaks, bicycling or rafting on the river. The city as such is well developed and has its own charm; historical sins like old communistic buildings are disappearing. My personal recommendations are 1. Hike up to Sokolica and Trzy Korony. Either do it as one hike or in two separated 2. Walk from Szczawnica to the Red Monastery (Cerveny Klastor) through the Pieniny walk through the Dunajec gorge. For the way back do the rafting either from the Slovak side at the monastery or the polish side in Sromowce

We go to Szczawnica to hike in Peniny Mountains. From the city you can ride to Slovakia by bike as well. There is a trail towards Sokolica starts in the city center which includes 1 min ferry ride across Dunajec. From Sokolica there's further trail to Trzy Korony or your can drive to Kroscienko and hike from there.

Nice compact town with everything you need centrally. Good alternative to the busier Zakopane for skiers, good beginner slopes. Best cakes in cafe Helena and an interesting Jazz bar. Prices are good everywhere and found staff in places friendly. During winter a lot of places to eat and drink close early so if you are looking to party here you could be disappointed.

It's a great place for anybody actually cos whether you go there just for some quiet time, or family trip or your like trekking or exploring mountains/ old buildings, etc, there's something for everyone. It has loads of attractions, there's travel agencies organizing trips or transport, there's restaurants,bars, cafes, souvenir shops, and the local atmosphere. People in Szczawnica are very friendly and helpful. It's easy to get there.
