Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, located in southeastern Poland, the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship is one of the country’s most picturesque and attraction-rich regions. With its diverse natural landscapes, rich history, and numerous historical landmarks, it appeals to tourists with a wide range of interests.

The most iconic feature of the region’s landscape is the Świętokrzyskie Mountains—the oldest mountain range in Poland, known for their legends of witches and magical rituals. A visit to the region wouldn’t be complete without climbing Łysica (612 m), the highest peak, or visiting Święty Krzyż (Holy Cross), a sacred pilgrimage site with a monastery that houses relics of the True Cross.

Sandomierz, set on seven hills, is one of the oldest cities in Poland, with roots dating back to the early Piast dynasty. Its charming Old Town, well-preserved townhouses, and Gothic cathedral are among the main highlights. A must-see is the Underground Tourist Route, which takes visitors through the old cellars and merchant tunnels beneath the town.
