Bydgoszcz Old Town Walk

Bydgoszcz is the capital of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship and the eighth largest city in Poland, picturesquely situated by the river Brda, Vistula and the Bydgoszcz Canal. It may not be a popular destination in European travel itineraries, but is one of Poland’s best kept secrets, thanks to its postcard perfect views, a wonderful museum island, quaint waterfront, charming footbridges, old granaries, and even its own brand of Art Nouveau architecture. Join our local guide for this tour and discover all of it for yourself!
