Divine Mercy Sanctuary

The sanctuary is located in the Łagiewniki district at ul. Siostry Faustyny 3-5, about four to ten kilometers south of Kraków’s Old Town. The basilica can accommodate thousands of worshippers, with the main hall seating around eighteen hundred and the building overall welcoming up to five thousand people. In addition to the basilica, there is a historic convent chapel where the original Divine Mercy image is displayed and where Saint Faustina’s tomb is located. The sanctuary serves both as a site of worship and a destination for pilgrims and tourists.

Respectful dress is recommended with shoulders and knees covered. The sanctuary can be busy with pilgrims, so maintaining quiet near the chapel and Saint Faustina’s tomb is important. Photography is often restricted inside the chapel or during services. The grounds offer peaceful areas for reflection, making it a calm and contemplative space. The visit provides insight into the message of Divine Mercy and the life of Saint Faustina.

From Kraków’s city center or Old Town, the sanctuary is accessible by tram or bus with stops near the site. Driving is also an option with visitor parking available. Those arriving by train can get off at the nearby Łagiewniki stop and walk to the sanctuary. Walking from public transport or parking areas allows you to enjoy the surrounding neighborhood and prepare for a reflective visit.
