Bialystok buses

Bialystok is the capital of the Podlasie region and one of the largest urban centers in northeastern Poland. It is often cited in rankings as one of the best places to live in our country, which is due in part to the fact that Podlasie boasts a vast array of tourist attractions and unparalleled natural assets. It is not without reason that the area is called the Green Lungs of Poland. Also in Bialystok itself you will find a lot of parks, squares and forests. We should add that the city lies on the Biala River, in the vicinity of Biebrzanski National Park and Narwianski National Park.

Bialystok - tourist attractions

However, natural values are not the only magnet attracting tourists to this area. So what is worth seeing in Bialystok?

The Branicki Guest Palace located in the city center is one of the biggest attractions of Bialystok. It is an example of Gothic architecture at its best. The building dates back to the 18th century.Today, the local registry office - the Wedding Palace - operates here.

The Branicki palace and park complex is also associated with the Branicki family. This is undoubtedly the most valuable monument of Bialystok, not without reason called Versailles of Podlasie, or even Polish Versailles. It is one of the best-maintained magnate residences dating back to the Saxon era. In addition to the late Baroque palace, it also houses a magnificent park, occupying just under 10 hectares. Due to differences in terrain, the park is located on two levels - the upper one is arranged in the style of a French park, the lower one in the English style. The park complex includes numerous walking paths, fountains, stately trees and numerous monuments. The palace is the seat of the rectorate of the Medical University of Bialystok.

Bialystok is also home to temples, the list of which opens with the old Farny Church - a late Renaissance building with a Baroque interior. There is a beautiful historic portal above the main door. Another important religious building is St. Roch's Church - an interesting example of sacred modernism. Built on a hill, the church has a tall tower topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary. When visiting St. Roch Church, it is worth noting the star symbol repeated in many places (decorations, pilasters, ceilings, etc.). Also impressive is the Bialystok Archcathedral - located right next to the Old Parish Church and in theory an annex to it, which cleverly avoided the tsarist ban on building new Catholic churches. In practice, theBialystok Archcathedral outgrows the old church many times over, and the red brick and two soaring towers are the temple's calling cards, visible from afar. The archcathedral was built in 1900-1905 in neo-Gothic style. Tourists' attention is also drawn to the St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker Cathedral - that is, the Cathedral Orthodox Church from the 19th century. Its distinguishing features are an interior finished in Byzantine style and a bell tower with five bells.

What else should you see in the capital of Podlasie? Hasbach Palace, built in the 1880s. - in the interior you will find original stoves and fireplaces - and the Bialystok Town Hall, a late Baroque building erected in 1745-1761. It currently houses the Podlasie Museum.
