The most beautiful cities in Poland

Friends, the visa agency "Viza-svit" offers you an overview of the most beautiful, as we believe, cities of our neighbor, Poland. Ukrainians still need to apply for a visa to visit Poland. You can see the prices for services for issuing Polish visas on the Visa Svit website.

Of course, these are well-known cities - Warsaw and Krakow - the city of Polish kings. We think that you have read and heard a lot about them. Many must have been there many times. But, in addition to these two most famous cities in Poland, there are other equally beautiful and attractive cities for tourists.

Torun

Torun is a unique atmospheric medieval city in the north of Poland, which can be compared in beauty and color with Bruges. But unfortunately, or fortunately, not so famous. Now the old part of Torun and its sights are included in the UNESCO List. This part of the city is a fine example of medieval architecture, built in the brick Gothic style. In addition, Nicolaus Copernicus was born in this Polish city.

Poznań

Poznan is a city in central Poland, which is specially not customary to visit, but in vain. In terms of beauty, spirit, atmosphere, Poznan could give odds to well-known Polish cities. Poznan is a good place to start your acquaintance with Poland. She was the first capital of Poland and saw many dramatic events in the formation of the nation.

Visitors simply fall in love with the charming multi-colored houses, which seem to have grown to each other. The historical center of Poznan is the Old Town with its Market Square and the Town Hall building, crowned with a proud eagle, under which there is a clock tower and the fountain of Proserpina. There are also the Royal Palace and the Gorki Palace, the Franciscan Church of St. Stanislaus and the Virgin Mary, where organ music concerts are held.

Lublin

One cannot fail to mention Lublin in the list of the most beautiful cities in Poland. Lublin is worth visiting, and more than once. This wonderful city is beautiful, original and at the same time (yet) not oversaturated with tourists. He harmoniously combines antiquity and modern everyday life, does not pretend to pathos, although he has every right to it.

Everyone knows that during the Great Patriotic War, a fascist death camp, Majdanek, operated within the city. Now a memorial complex has been opened on this terrible place, where many peaceful Jews and Slavs were killed.

Other attractions in Lublin are much more peaceful. Of course, first of all it is architecture. The Lublin Castle, built in the 14th century, the Cathedral, the Krakow Gate, the Crown Tribunal (a marvelous urban legend is associated with it), the Holy Trinity Tower, the Church of the Dominican Order - you can list for a long time. And there is also a botanical garden, many parks and museums: the city museum, the museum of the poet Józef Chekhovich and the wonderful open-air museum of wooden architecture. In addition, as in every venerable old city, Lublin has an underground passage, where tourists are now allowed.

The location of the city historically determined its closest connection with neighboring Ukraine and Belarus. Even city signs remind of this, some of which are written in these Slavic languages.

Wroclaw

Wroclaw is located in the west of Poland. The city is small but very famous. During its centuries-old history, Wroclaw belonged to the Poles, Czechs, Austrians, Hungarians and Germans. Each ruler brought to Wroclaw the culture and architecture of his region; so gradually, due to the mixture of architectural styles, the unique look of the city was born.

Wroclaw is known mainly for its bridges (and there are more than two hundred of them in the city) and dwarfs - the symbol of the city. There are statues of a dwarf fireman, a chimney sweep, a postman and many others. Small bronze figurines of gnomes, no larger than a cat, can be found on the streets of the city. They roll a ball, wash clothes, try to jump into your hands from a lamppost, and generally distract attention from the beautiful architecture of the city in every possible way. And there is something to see!

The Church of St. Elizabeth, the houses of Jassy and Malgosya, the Town Hall, the houses of the Old Town ... Be sure to visit Tumski Island and other islands of Wroclaw, wander along its bridges, the botanical garden and other parks of amazing beauty, go on a night tour at the zoo, visit the national museum and see details of the Racławice panorama. And when it gets dark, be sure to sit near the largest singing fountain in Europe.

Gdańsk

In a tourist trip, everyone is looking for something different. Some go on a journey to learn and see as much new things as possible, give others untouched by time the streets of Old Europe, and others do not need anything but the sea. If at the same time tourists want the seaside city to have a rich history, an abundance of interesting places and impeccable European style, then they can safely recommend a trip to the Polish city of Gdansk.

Gdansk, formerly Danzig, is one of the oldest port cities in Poland. In the port, you can admire the main attraction of Gdansk - the famous Crane Crane, or just wander around the cozy cobbled streets of the Old Town (which is more than one hour), go through the Royal Route (Dluga and Dlugy Targ streets) and feel like kings who came to Gdansk. You can sit on the embankments of the Motława River or make an appointment at the Neptune Fountain (a traditional meeting place for local couples). Or listen to a concert of organ music in the Maryatskaya (or Maryinsky Basilica) Church of the Holy Virgin Mary. Be sure to take the children to the Gdansk Archaeological Museum, where they will have a unique opportunity to find some old thing in the sand prepared by the workers.

Poland, our closest neighbor, is a very interesting country in terms of educational tourism. The visa center "Viza-Svit" recommends that you get to know the most beautiful cities in Poland, which we talked about, and offers you to quickly and easily apply for visas to Poland .
