Visit Gliwice!

Gliwice is a city in Silesia, southern Poland. It is known for its industrial character and 19th century architecture, but also has many attractions for tourists, such as parks, museums, and monuments. We especially recommend visiting Gliwice’s Old Town and Main Square and their beautiful townhouses from the 19th and 20th centuries. Another must-see attraction is the Gliwice Radio Tower which happens to be one of the world’s tallest wooden structures.
