Today let’s talk about our beautiful city Bydgoszcz<\/strong>. Definitely a great place to visit.<\/p>\n

Part of Bydgoszcz resembles Venice in Italy and is known as the Bydgoszcz Venice<\/strong>. It is an island between two arms of the River Brda. There are houses situated very close to the water making it seem as though they are in the water itself.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bydgoszcz is called the town of bridges and canals. The sculpture,\u00a0“The river crosser”<\/strong>, has been suspended over the Brda River on the principal tourist trail since 2004.<\/p>\n

Bydgoszcz has few historical monuments that you should visit.\u00a0Definitely one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, and undoubtedly the oldest, is the Church of St Martin and Nicolaus<\/strong>, commonly known as Fara<\/strong> Church<\/strong>. It is a three-aisle late Gothic church erected between 1466 and 1502, and boasts a late-Gothic painting entitled Madonna with a Rose, or the Holy Virgin of Beautiful Love, from the 16th century. The colourful 20th-century polychrome is also worth noticing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On the left side of the riverbank is another neo-gothic structure dating back to1885. Mounted on its northwestern corner it has a tower made of many smaller towers facing different directions. This is an eye-catching architectural marvel, which currently houses the Main Post Office. Another prominent architectural landmark of the town is the District Museum<\/strong>. This is on the Brda<\/strong>, opposite to the Post Office. It is a cluster of three buildings known as ‘spichrze,’ or the warehouse, as it was previously used for storing grains.<\/p>\n

You can also visit the delightful Park of Jan Kochanowski<\/strong> near Gda\u0144ska Street. The park is the musical hub of Bydgoszcz as most of the renowned music schools are located there. You will see the Musical School<\/strong>, the Musical Academy<\/strong> and the Filharmonia Pomorska<\/strong> all within short distances of each other. The Philharmonic building was established in 1958. You shoul try to attend a concert there, to experience the fantastic acoustics of the place.<\/p>\n

The My\u015blecinek leisure park also known as the Le\u015bny Park Kultury i Wypoczynku<\/strong>, is a large forest area. It has a rich reserve of flora and fauna. The cherry and apple trees are a pretty sight during spring when they are in full bloom. The Polish Fauna Garden<\/strong>, also a part of the Park has more than 100 species of animals found in Poland. You have to take the narrow-gauge train to go to the park. There are also bicycle tracks and walking routes within the park, as well as tennis courts and provision for horse riding, if you are the sporty type.<\/p>\n

Plenty of things to do! And of course great restaurants with traditional Polish food!<\/p>\n
