Discover Tarnowskie Góry
Accommodation in Tarnowskie Góry
Tarnowskie Góry combines underground experiences with city history and parkland that preserves traces of a former mining area. A boat trip on an underground river, a museum with several thematic focuses and a three-day city festival offer different ways to explore the town. The more than 100 steps on one visitor route also give you a specific point of reference when choosing what to do.

Underground: boat trip or staircase route
On the underground route at the Zabytkowa Kopalnia Srebra, visitors can travel by boat along an underground river. The Zabytkowa Kopalnia Srebra in Tarnowskie Góry is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For a trip focused on cultural sites, this offers a distinctive way to visit a place recognised with an important distinction.
The Sztolnia Czarnego Pstrąga offers a different point of reference: its visitor route includes more than 100 steps. This makes it possible to compare two specific features—the boat trip on the one hand and the staircase route on the other. When planning your activities, you can take this difference into account rather than treating both experiences simply as underground excursions.
City history at the museum and during Gwarki
The Muzeum w Tarnowskich Górach focuses on the history of the city, as well as art and ethnography. It is located in Kamienica Sedlaczka, on the corner of Rynek and Gliwicka Street. Its collection areas offer several cultural perspectives: city history alongside art and ethnographic themes. For visitors interested in more than one aspect of the town, the museum complements the underground experiences with its own cultural focus.
Gwarki also draws on the city’s history, but in a different format. The three-day city festival takes place in Tarnowskie Góry; the Gwarkowski parade depicts, among other things, important episodes from the city’s history. Dates and programme vary. If you would like to include the festival in your travel plans, check the dates for the edition you wish to attend.
A park shaped by mining
Park Miejski preserves the topography of a former mining area. Its varied terrain includes architectural structures and green spaces. The park thus adds a landscape focus alongside the underground routes and the city’s cultural themes. The area’s former use is not just a subject of underground experiences; it also shapes the park’s terrain.
When choosing a holiday rental, it helps to start with the kind of trip you have in mind. If you want your stay to focus mainly on underground experiences, the boat trip and staircase route offer different options. For a cultural focus, the museum and Gwarki provide different points of interest; if you would like to include the parkland, its varied terrain can be another highlight. This way, you can tailor your search for a holiday rental in Tarnowskie Góry to the experiences that matter most to your trip.
