Polkowice is located in the Lower Silesian province northwest of Wroclaw. This small town has a population of more than 22,000 and is primarily famous as a so-called copper town belonging to the Legnica-Glogów Copper District. However, its history goes back much further than the years of the 19th-century industrial revolution. In 1291 Polkowice was granted a city charter, having previously been a market settlement on the trade route between Glogow and Legnica.
When visiting Polkowice, it is essential to see the well-preserved market square, full of colorful tenement houses, together with the town hall building dating back to the 18th century and the Gothic church of St. Michael the Archangel dating back to 1679. The symbol and unquestionable attraction of Polkowice is the Dutch windmill, inside of which you can learn more about the history of this Piast stronghold at the dawn of time, and from the observation deck at its top admire the panorama of the city.
An ideal place for those who want active rest in the midst of nature and greenery will be the Central Park of Fun and Leisure located in the center of Polkowice. On its territory you will find an amphitheater, a playground, a fountain or even an open-air library.
Getting to Polkowice by car or bus should not be a problem, as the city lies on the S3 expressway and provincial road 331. The Polkowice PKS bus stop can be found near the historic windmill on Mlynska Street, from where numerous domestic and international bus connections depart. However, trains do not reach the town and it has no railroad station.
