Tips from the Community
The ferry operates during the high tourist season, provided the water level is high enough to allow for crossing. When planning a route that includes a ferry crossing, it's worth having a "Plan B."

The ferry operates from 8:00 to 18:00 during the summer, and 8:00 to 17:00 for the rest of the year, so plan your trips accordingly to avoid missing the last ride.

The market square in Kazimierz Dolny was marked out after the city was founded under Magdeburg law in 1406. It is the central urban point of the city, with an open view of the parish church and the castle ruins. The market square has retained its historical layout with a characteristic undeveloped northern part of the square. For centuries, it has served a commercial and social function. It is currently the tourist heart of Kazimierz, surrounded by historic tenement houses, including Przybyłów, Celejowska and Czarnotów. In its center stands a historic well from the 19th century, one of the symbols of the city.

The historic well in the Market Square in Kazimierz Dolny is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. It was built in the 19th century as a street fountain, and in 1913 the architect Jan Koszczyc-Witkiewicz gave it its current appearance - a wooden casing with a characteristic roof and a pazdur. In later years, the well was modernized: an Abyssinian pump was installed, and in the 1980s a new cast iron pump and lighting. The last renovation was carried out in 2012. According to local legend, whoever drinks water from the well will always return to Kazimierz. The water is suitable for drinking and washing fruit bought at the local market. Similar wells are also located in the corner of the Market Square, on Krakowska and Lubelska streets.

The bronze statue of a dog is located at the market square in Kazimierz Dolny, near the parish church. It was made of bronze in 2000 by sculptor Bogdan Markowski and depicts the dog Werniks, belonging to the painter Zbigniew Szczepanek. The monument commemorates the presence of dogs in the life of the town and artists, especially those associated with the Rynkowa Café. There are many legends and anecdotes surrounding the statue, and tourists customarily stroke the dog's nose for good luck. The monument has become one of Kazimierz's tourist attractions.
