Nowy Sacz - tourist attractions

Nowy Sacz is located in the central part of Malopolska province. It is less than 100 km from the region's capital, Kraków. To get to another important city of Malopolska - Tarnów, you need to cover a distance of more than 60 km. Nowy Sacz is the capital of the Sadecczyzna region and a former provincial town. More than 83,000 people live here. The town was founded in 1292, making it one of the oldest towns in Malopolska.

Nowy Sacz offers its visitors many historical monuments - about which more in a moment - and is a brilliant base for exploring the region' s natural attractions . To the north, Nowy Sacz is bordered by the charming Rożnowskie Foothills with its vast Rożnowskie Lake, and to the south of the town run three large mountain ranges: the Beskid Sądecki, Beskid Niski and Beskid Wyspowy. This provides unfettered access to hiking trails, which can be penetrated by bicycle, on skis or on foot. The aforementioned Lake Rożnowskie and the Dunajec River flowing through the western part of the city offer considerable potential for water sports. Further away are Lake Czorsztyńskie and Lake Klimkowskie.

With its centuries-old history and attractive location in the Sącz Basin, Nowy Sącz is often visited by tourists, practically at any time of the year. Those traveling to the area should remember the address: 2 Szwecka Street, where the Tourist Information Center, part of the Malopolska Tourist Information System, is located.

Fans of religious sites should not complain about a lack of excitement here. Among those awaiting the faithful and visitors to the temples of Novosadec are the Collegiate Basilica of St. Margaret, the Franciscan monastery complex from the 13th century, the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Jesuit Monastery, the Church of St. Roch, the Church of St. Helena and the Church of St. Casimir.
