Cieszyn. Guide to the Polish city
Cieszyn is one of the most picturesque and historic cities in Poland, which delights with its atmosphere, monuments located in the city. This is a place where tradition meets modernity. The city lies on the Olza River, which connects Poland with the Czech Republic - amazing experiences and two perspectives in one place. I invite you to watch a film about this city, which may reveal its secrets to you - this extraordinary pearl of Cieszyn Silesia.
There is a delightful architectural diversity here. In the heart of the city is the Old Town, the central point of which is the Market Square. Surrounded by historic tenement houses with Baroque and Art Nouveau facades, they are a perfect place for a walk or a rest in one of the many cafes.
The symbol of the city is the Castle Hill. Here is the Rotunda of St. Nicholas - one of the existing structures in Poland, dating back to the 11th century. This rotunda, known from the 20-zloty banknote, delights with the simplicity of the Romanesque style and historical functions. Next to it is the Piast Tower, from which there is a view of Cieszyn, the Olza River and the surrounding hills. It is a place full of charm and peace, which allows you to relax a little.
Cieszyn. Two in one, i.e. a city divided by the Olza River, which is the border between Poland and the Czech Republic. On the Polish side there are quiet streets, monuments, a historic Cieszyn tram and an intimate atmosphere, while Český Těšín on the Czech side offers more modern architecture, shops and other attractions. The Friendship Bridge (a symbol for me) connects both cities, which have a common history.
The history of Cieszyn dates back over a thousand years, which makes it one of the oldest cities in Poland. For centuries, it was a meeting place for different cultures and nationalities - Polish, Czech, German and Jewish. This multicultural heritage can still be seen today in architecture, tradition and openness.
Once a strategic town on a trade route. Today, its peaceful atmosphere and historic sites attract those who want to learn about the history of this unique city.
Why is it worth visiting Cieszyn?
Cieszyn is an ideal place for anyone looking for peace, beautiful views and a dose of history. This is a city that combines all the best - monuments, culture and nature. Come and discover the magic of a city that has been a place of various cultural meetings for centuries, and today delights with its place. HEJ
