Trips With Kids

Zamość

We came to Zamosc. We left our car in the parking lot next to the zoo and went for a walk toward the old market square. To get there we went along the walls of the Zamosc Fortress. We walked through the Szczebrzeska Gate. Walls are beautifully restored thanks to EU grant. Next, we walked past the Cathedral and monument of Hetman Jan Zamoyski on horseback. After a while, we disappeared into a small street leading to the market square where there is a historic town hall with beautiful staircase.

During the summer at Old Town, as well as in Poznan, there were plenty of beer gardens. On the market square terrace, we came across a military demonstration by a reenactment group dressed in historical costumes of Polish infantry. They presented firearms and fired several volleys into the air. It’s rare to see such old guns up close. The most interested was Justine. They also showed a duel with sabers.

We were there only for a while; it was our pit stop on the road trip. We wanted to explore Zamosc Zoo, so we moved to that direction.
