Częstochowa Black Madonna Half-Day Trip

  • 42 reviews | 416 travellers
    The information from civitatis is misleading, it says two different times to be at the meeting point: 7:45 and 8:30. They should fix it, in the end I contacted the supplier and they gave me the correct time (7:45 a.m.). The very friendly driver took us to Czestochowa in a van since we were a total of 5 people and he stays as long as we need. The guide in Czestochowa is from the Jasna Góra sanctuary itself, with the guide generally good but he was quite rushed with the time.

Half-Day Trip Details

We'll meet at the designated time at Plaza de Matejko and head to Częstochowa, a city 140 km (87 miles) northwest in the Silesia Province.

Częstochowa is an industrial town in southern Poland renowned for its magnificent abbey, the Jasna Góra Monastery, established by the Pauline monks in 1382. Jasna Góra has become a world-known site of pilgrimage because it houses a magnificent painting of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child.

The monastery became famous in the 17th century when three hundred men managed to protect it from a siege of 12000 Swedish armed men. This was considered the first miracle of the Black Madonna.

Nowadays, the relic of the Virgin Mary is the most revered relic in Poland and one of its national symbols.

After 6.5 hours, we'll conclude our day trip by returning to the meeting point in Kraków.
