  • Buy a combined ticket for major attractions like the Opatowska Gate and the Underground Tourist Route to save on individual entry fees.
  • Try regional specialties like Sandomierz fudge (Krówka Sandomierska) and local apple ciders at local bakeries rather than tourist-heavy cafes.
  • Visit the local vineyards just outside the town for affordable wine tastings that are much cheaper than buying imported bottles in restaurants.
