At 400 metres, the Rynek is not only a distinctive measure of the town, but is also considered the longest cobbled market square in Europe. Its length makes it a clear point of reference for anyone wanting to get to know Pułtusk through its town centre and history. At one end of the market square stands Dom Polonii, the former castle of the Bishops of Płock.

The Collegiate Church of the Annunciation is a monument of particular importance to Poland’s cultural heritage. The basilica in Pułtusk has fifteen Baroque side altars. Those interested in sacred architecture and furnishings will find specific points of interest here for the cultural part of a trip.

The Regional Museum in Pułtusk comprises several visitor sites: the Town Hall Tower, the 18th-century cellars beneath the Town Hall and the building at Rynek 36.

An exhibition is open from May to September on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in the former Jesuit storage cellars at Wzgórze Abrahama. Admission is at 13:00 and 15:00; tickets are available at the museum at Rynek 43. The set days and admission times are useful when planning this visit into your day.

The Szlak Wielkiej Przygody runs through the Pułtusk Forest District. From Pułtusk, it leads via Popławy, the Wielgolas Nature Reserve, Obryte and Sadykierz to Komorowo. The named stops show that the route extends beyond its starting point to include several towns and a nature reserve.

The Szlak Borów Nadnarwiańskich offers a different route: it starts in Pułtusk on Bartodziejska Street, leads to the edge of the forest, passes the Popławy Nature Reserve and ends at the bus stop in Zatory.

A cycling route also starts at the fountain in the market square. It leads along Słowackiego Street towards the footbridge over the Narew. The described route therefore begins at a specific point in the town centre and continues towards the river.

Hotel Zamek Pułtusk, Dom Polonii, offers gondola and catamaran trips on the Narew. It also rents out watercraft and equipment, including pedal boats, kayaks, boats and gondolas, and organises sightseeing and leisure trips on the river.
