Tarnowo Podgórne combines bathing experiences and brine inhalation with walking paths, a fun way to explore the town, and an art-historical destination. Tarnowskie Termy, Tarnowskie Tężnie and the All Saints Parish Church represent different sides of the town. When planning your trip, you can decide whether water, outdoor exercise, a game through the streets or sacred art should shape your stay.

Swimming at Tarnowskie Termy

Tarnowskie Termy is a sports and leisure centre in Tarnowo Podgórne. The pools use warm geothermal water. A particularly notable feature for trip planning is that outdoor swimming is also possible in winter. If you would like to include an open-air swim in your holiday plans during the colder months, this gives you a specific reason to consider Tarnowo Podgórne. The focus is therefore on a bathing experience that is not limited to the warmer months.

Brine, inhalation and a walk by the pond

Tarnowskie Tężnie is a tourist leisure facility for brine inhalation and is part of the Termalnego Parku Zdrowia. The enclosed inhalatorium can accommodate up to 15 people; an aerosol session lasts 15 to 25 minutes. This clearly defined duration can help you plan an inhalation session as a separate activity. Unlike swimming in the pools, the focus here is on brine inhalation.

The Tężnie complex also includes a green space with a flower meadow, sand and a pond. Wooden walkways cross the pond and are used for walking. This area therefore offers an outdoor path in addition to the inhalation facility. If you are looking for a quieter break between other activities on your trip, you can consider a walk by the pond as a separate option, without confusing it with the swimming facilities.

Church art and discoveries around town

The main altar in the All Saints Parish Church holds a painting created around 1665 that comes from Poznań Cathedral. The altar itself dates from the late 18th century. This example brings together two distinct periods: the painting, created around 1665, and the later main altar. For travellers interested in sacred art and the history of individual furnishings, it is a specific cultural landmark in Tarnowo Podgórne.

The tourist game TROPEM LWA offers a different way to explore the town. It takes participants through the streets and lanes of Tarnowo Podgórne, where they solve prepared tasks. Rather than focusing on a single building or facility, the game makes the streets and lanes themselves the setting for discovery. The tasks give exploration a playful framework, making this activity easy to include as a group outing when planning your trip.

Ice skating in the ice rink

Lodowisko Misiałek has an air-conditioned ice rink. Visitors can skate there for an unlimited time with a single payment. Almost 600 pairs of high-quality branded skates are available in a full range of sizes, as well as free helmets. This makes the facility an interesting option when planning a trip where not everyone wants to bring their own equipment: skates in various sizes and helmets are among the options available on site. The ice rink complements the swimming, walking and cultural activities with a standalone activity on the ice.

Getting there and holiday apartments

For travel by car, the municipal visitor guide lists the A2 motorway, the S11 expressway and Route 92. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Tarnowo Podgórne, you can use the focus of your trip as a starting point: swimming and brine inhalation, a walk by the pond, the game through the streets or art history each offer a different emphasis. This lets you choose the destination based on the experiences that interest you most, rather than limiting your trip to just one activity.
