• Kąpielisko Krubin offers water sports, kayak and pedal boat rentals, a sandy beach and a swimming area. A cycle path leads there from the city centre.

Muzeum Szlachty Mazowieckiej focuses on the history of the Ciechanów region. One exhibition is titled “Utracony świat – ślady rodzin żydowskich w Ciechanowie do roku 1942” (“A Lost World – Traces of Jewish Families in Ciechanów up to 1942”) and explores traces of Jewish families in the city. The museum also features folk sculpture from the collection of Helena and Marian Przedpełski.

St. Joseph’s Parish Church offers several points of historical interest: it was built in the second half of the 14th century beside a medieval castle complex. Inside are historic mementos, commemorative plaques and epitaphs. Krzywa Hala is a distinctive historic building in the “Bloki” housing estate, built in 1942–1943. Those interested in architectural history can therefore see both a medieval church and a building from a much later period.

At Park Nauki Torus, visitors can experiment independently and discover principles and connections, especially in physics, mathematics, technology and architecture. The experience encourages hands-on exploration across a range of subjects rather than focusing on a single theme.

The Green Maze at Skwer 4 czerwca 1989 roku on ul. Fabryczna is open to visitors. Its winding paths are one metre wide and laid out in a triangular pattern; check its condition before your visit. At the junction of ul. Fabryczna and ul. Sienkiewicza, there is also a locomotive with an information board about the history of the narrow-gauge railway. The area also includes a section of track, paths, benches and waste bins. Here, hands-on experimentation and a connection to railway history offer different ways to explore.

Water sports, kayak rentals and pedal boat rentals are available at Kąpielisko Krubin. The site includes a sandy beach and a swimming area. Swimming facilities and seasonal activities may change; check what is currently available before your visit.

A cycle path leads from the centre of Ciechanów to Kąpielisko Krubin. There is a city bike rental station there. This lets you include water activities and a cycle connection between the city centre and the bathing area in your travel plans, without assuming a particular journey time or distance.

The Ciechanów–Opinogóra route is designed as a two-day weekend itinerary in Ciechanów County. It combines the search for the treasure of the Masovian princes with the theme of Romanticism. In Opinogóra, Muzeum Romantyzmu offers guided tours, museum classes and practical workshops.
