Get to know Radom through its art, city history and various themed routes. When planning, it helps to decide on your focus first: would you like to explore collections and exhibitions, follow historical sites, or include cycling routes in your time here? The attractions offer different perspectives without needing to be combined into a single tour.
Art and City History
The Jacek Malczewski Museum has the fourth-largest collection of paintings by Jacek Malczewski in Poland. Its ranking and the size of the collection may change over time. The same museum also has a permanent archaeological exhibition, which may itself be redesigned. Painting and archaeology therefore feature as two distinct themes.
The Radom History Museum – Houses of Gąska and Esterka presents Radom’s history from the 9th century to 1945. This long historical period differs from a museum visit focused more closely on a single artist. If you would like to focus on the city’s history, you will also find several themed routes, each with its own subject.
Historical Themed Routes
“Symbole przemysłowego Radomia” features 19 sculptures of Radom’s best-known industrial products. The “Radomski Czerwiec ’76” route includes nine sites with commemorative plaques in Polish and English. The Jewish memorial route “Ślad” leads to 13 places connected with the history of Radom’s former Jewish community. These three attractions therefore focus on different historical themes: industrial products, remembrance of “Radomski Czerwiec ’76” and the history of the Jewish community.
The route “Republika Radomska: nasza droga do niepodległości” also focuses on a specific period in the city’s history. Its six sites are connected with the establishment of the Republic of Radom in 1918; the route is about 3 km long. “Śladami Jacka Malczewskiego,” meanwhile, includes five places connected with the painter. This selection of themes can help you choose a focus rather than treating all the historical attractions as similar sites.
Architecture and the Mleczna Valley
The architectural trail “Szlak architektoniczny Stefana Szyllera” includes 13 religious and industrial buildings. It complements the art- and history-related attractions with an architectural perspective. The “Dolina rzeki Mlecznej, na szlaku starego Radomia” is laid out differently: its 23 stops are located along the Mleczna Valley. Both routes offer a clearly defined theme, but each has a different focus.
Walking and Cycling
If you are looking for a specific walking route, consider the PTTK hiking trail from Radom Pruszaków to Radom Firlej. It is 16.5 km long. Radom has around 90 km of cycling routes; this approximate total may change as new routes are added. In addition, cyclists and inline skaters use the boulevards along the Mleczna River. The boulevards are a separate option for getting active locally and should not simply be equated with the stated length of the cycling network. Check current route conditions before setting out.
Plan Your Journey and Shape Your Stay
Radom is a railway hub where the Warszawa–Radom–Kraków, Radom–Dęblin and Radom–Tomaszów Mazowiecki–Łódź lines meet. The bus station serves domestic and international routes. Timetables, routes and operators may change, so check connections for your travel dates. Nearby is Radom-Sadków Airport, officially Radom Airport Bohaterów Radomskiego Czerwca 1976 Roku, 4 km from the city centre. You should also check information about airport operations and access before travelling.
When looking for a hotel in Radom, your interests can help guide your choice: art, historical themes, or getting active on routes and boulevards. Before finalising your plans, check the timetables and current conditions relevant to your stay.
