The Jacek Malczewski Museum offers two distinct points of interest: the collection of paintings by the artist associated with Radom, and the permanent archaeological exhibition. Those interested in the city’s history can visit the Radom History Museum – Houses of Gąska and Esterka, whose exhibition spans a broad period, from the 9th century to 1945.

The themed trails also focus on different subjects. “Ślad,” the Jewish memorial trail, includes 13 sites connected with the history of Radom’s former Jewish community. The “Radomski Czerwiec ’76” trail leads to nine sites with commemorative plaques in Polish and English. The “Symbole przemysłowego Radomia” route features 19 sculptures of the city’s best-known industrial products.

Architecture enthusiasts can consider the “Szlak architektoniczny Stefana Szyllera” trail, which includes 13 religious and industrial buildings. Five sites on the “Śladami Jacka Malczewskiego” trail are associated with the painter. The figures refer respectively to sites, objects, buildings or sculptures, helping you understand the different themes of the routes.

Two historic routes of different lengths are useful for comparison: the PTTK walking trail runs from Radom Pruszaków to Radom Firlej and is 16.5 km long. The “Republika Radomska: nasza droga do niepodległości” route is about 3 km long and includes six sites connected with the establishment of the Republic of Radom in 1918. This gives you a choice between a longer trail linking two named endpoints and a shorter route with a clearly defined historical theme.

The “Dolina rzeki Mlecznej, na szlaku starego Radomia” route offers another perspective, with 23 stops along the Mleczna Valley. Radom’s boulevards along the Mleczna River are used by cyclists and inline skaters. As another point of reference for a cycling trip, Radom has around 90 km of cycle paths; their total length may change as the network expands.

The Warszawa–Radom–Kraków, Radom–Dęblin and Radom–Tomaszów Mazowiecki–Łódź railway lines meet in Radom. The bus station serves domestic and international routes. Radom-Sadków Airport, officially Radom Airport Bohaterów Radomskiego Czerwca 1976 Roku, is 4 km from the city centre. Timetables, bus services, and airport operations and access may change; check the latest information for your trip.

Then check the location of your specific accommodation in relation to your own destinations and travel arrangements. The sights and routes listed offer different thematic points of reference, without requiring you to settle on just one focus.
