Socio-cultural ties connect the Commune inhabitants, and tradition is integral to the area. A plenitude of available accommodation allows tourists to discover the charms of the Carpathian countryside, for example, through tasting local cuisine and traditions, as well as architecture and interior design. The Wiśniowa Commune is famous for its rich offer of cultural, religious and sporting events held all year round. Historic churches, a Jewish synagogue, roadside shrines, and an astronomical observatory are cultural highlights of the area. The Commune's important element is the attachment to tradition manifested in the dialect, dances and folk costumes, which have been acknowledged by ethnologists and cultural scientists, as evidenced by numerous publications on culture and tradition.

Wiśniowa is located in the Krzyworzeka Creek Valley. Mountains surround it: the Ciecień Range to the east and the Łysina and Lubomir Ranges to the west. From the top of Mt Ciecień (829 masl), there is a panoramic view of the Beskid Wyspowy and the Gorce Mountains with Turbacz.
