Krakow, Poland
The Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec stands on a limestone cliff above the Vistula river, on the south-western edge of Kraków, about twelve kilometres from the city centre, and entry to the abbey church and courtyard is free, while the museum and guided tours of the abbey have small fees. It is one of the oldest monasteries in Poland. Visitors can reach Tyniec by city bus, by bicycle along the Vistula cycle path, which is a popular route, or by boat from Kraków in summer.

Buying the fuller version is the obvious choice; the price difference is small.
