The monastery
The Reformati complex stands on the hill above Kazimierz. It is a quiet place, away from the bustle of the market square, with a reflective character. Its greatest asset is the viewing terrace — from here opens one of the finest panoramas of the town and the Vistula valley.
What to see
- The viewing terrace — the panorama of Kazimierz and the Vistula
- The monastery church — a quiet place for reflection
- The climb to the hill — short, but uphill
- Away from the crowds — quieter than the market square
In practice
A short climb leads up to the monastery — comfortable shoes are worth having. It is a place of worship — quiet and suitable dress are expected. The viewing terrace is best in good weather and in late afternoon light.
