Polish Aviation Museum
Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego
One of Europe's largest aviation museums, located on a century-old airfield, with more than 200 aircraft, including several one-of-a-kind survivors.
The museum stands on the site of Rakowice-Czyżyny Airport, one of the oldest airports in Europe. Its collection includes more than 200 aircraft, along with many engines and aviation equipment. The biggest highlight is the group of World War I aircraft once held by the Berlin aviation collection, many of which are the only surviving examples in the world. You can also see MiG jets, Soviet-era helicopters and Polish-built aircraft. The main building, opened in 2010, resembles a propeller when viewed from above, and the outdoor exhibition area is very large. Closed on Mondays. Admission is about 30 to 40 zloty. It is about 20 minutes by tram from the city centre.
