<\/a>The outside aircraft are heavy on types not seen in Western Europe and North America. The outdoor lineup is impressive even if the aircraft have seen better days. There are old Tupolevs, crop sprayers and Soviet-era rocket launchers. Most are not in great condition, but you won\u2019t see things like this at home.<\/p>\nYou can take a taxi or a tram. From the center of town near the Main Railway station you can catch a number of trams\u2026.<\/p>\n

The museum is closed on Mondays, but you can walk around the outdoor exhibits. Try to get there on a day when the buildings are open because the really old aircraft are all inside buildings.<\/p>\n If you like aviation history and old planes, take a half a day away from Old Town Krakow and visit the Polish Aviation Museum.<\/p>\n Do nast<\/strong>\u0119pnego razu… <\/strong>(Till next time…)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Polish Aviation Museum (Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego) may not be one museum that every tourist wants to go to, but if you like aviation history and old airplanes, it\u2019s worth a visit.
