Introducing Bydgoszcz
It’s hard to imagine why you’d head to Bydgoszcz (bid-goshch) for an extended stay – though it’s one of Poland’s largest cities, the majority of the city is a postwar industrial zone with little character. However, it’s not without its charms, particularly in the centre where local authorities have spent time and money regenerating the city’s older quarters.
Lying outside the territory of the Teutonic Knights, Bydgoszcz developed over time into a trading centre, beer producer and military base. Becoming part of Prussia in the First Partition of 1772, Bydgoszcz returned to Poland in 1919 and underwent intensive industrial development.
