Bydgoszcz Travel Guide

City Map

City Introduction

Bydgoszcz is a city in the northern part of Poland, and it is located on the river Brda at its confluence with the somewhat larger Wisła. The island of Wyspa Młyńska is in the middle of the city, and for centuries it was the center of the industrialization of Bydgoszcz. Today, it is not industry that characterizes the cityscape, but culture and architecture. You can e.g. visit Opera Nova, the city’s philharmonic and the Polish Theatre.

Bydgoszcz is also a city rich in architecture with buildings from different eras and in many styles. A stay in the city is therefore a meeting with Gothic architecture, Neo-Baroque style, Modernism, Art Nouveau, and more. The town’s half-timbered warehouses at Wyspa Młyńska are a special landmark of Bydgoszcz as some of the best-known constructions of this type in Poland.

As in many other Polish cities, the market square Rynek forms the center of the city. Rynek in Bydgoszcz is a large square with an ambient atmosphere, restaurants and a view of the town hall. The square was laid out in the 14th century, and until 1834 the city’s town hall stood in the middle of the square. Until 1940, a Jesuit church formed the western part of the square, but today this part is landscaped as a green area.

Bydgoszcz’s cathedral is located between the Rynek and the river Brda. It was built 1466-1502 and is today the oldest building in the city. You should also visit the church Bazylika św. Wincentego à Paulo, which is a colossal domed church constructed 1925-1945. On a stroll through Bydgoszcz’s streets, you can notice the city’s many art nouveau houses as well, and in the evening, there is a lovely atmosphere along the banks of the Brda.

Torun, Poland

Toruń

Toruń is a city with an exciting history and many sights. It was founded by knights of the Teutonic Order, who built a castle on the site in the mid-13th century as a base for missions in Prussia. Later, Toruń was a member of the Hanseatic League and an important trading post between the Baltic area and Eastern Europe, and this made the city flourish.

The medieval city of Toruń is well preserved, and it is not without reason that this part of the city has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The entire urban environment is full of atmosphere with several important houses in the so-called brick Gothic style, such as the home of the mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In the district you can also see other architectural styles such as Renaissance and Baroque.

Poznan’s Old Town around the market square, Stary Rynek, is a lovely and cozy place for a walk. Here are beautifully decorated houses in line with the city’s old town hall as the central and probably most famous building. Stary Rynek itself is quite a large square with several monuments and more.
