@geopiet: Strange to see the English translation so close to mine. HOWEVER, it is more idiomatic to say CHECK OUT - a curiosity-driven inquiry. One can check a museum's website or check a museum's opening hours. "what interesting you can see" as a noun phrase has its problems too.
We´ll tell you which restaurants is close to the winery you want to visit, which beach is close and not crowded and what is interesting to see in Barcelona

Besides, there are two museums, not one. More properly, one could have written "in Nowy Sacz's"

@Rafal: I see this as an opportunity to phrase this idiomatically. The tenses here are interesting too: zobaczysz in the future in Polish and in the present continuous in English (in my rendition, at least), signifying "what is on." If a young person is talking, then "Care to check out what is hot..." would be appropriate.
