The town is located in the Silesian Foothills, near the Beskid Mały and Śląski Mountains, on the Biała River. It is a relatively young city, because it was established in 1950 from the merger of Bielsko in Cieszyn Silesia and the town of Biała. Bielsko-Biała delights with its unique architecture, proximity to the mountains and unique atmosphere.
Why is Bielsko-Biała “little Vienna”? The most important buildings were designed by Austrian architects
The architecture of Bielsko-Biała brings to mind the famous Austrian city, and the associations are absolutely appropriate. The building of the Polish Theater was designed by the Austrian architect Emil von Förster, just like the church of St. Nicholas, designed by Leopold Bauer, and the city hall, designed by Emanuel Rost Junior. However, there are more traces of Vienna, because the city square, narrow cobbled streets, narrow passages, numerous cafes and restaurants bring to mind the capital of Austria. The main advantage of Bielsko-Biała is its proximity. You can get to Klimczok and Szyndzielnia by cable car, but there are plenty of mountain trails near the city, so hiking enthusiasts will certainly have something to do.
What is Bielsko-Biała known for? This is where the most popular cartoons from the past were born
Bielsko-Biała is also the capital of cartoons. This is where “Bolek i Lolek” and “Reksio” come from, which have been watched by entire generations of Poles. The Cartoon Film Studio is open to tourists, so you can see what the beginnings of iconic fairy tales looked like. The famous Fiat 126p was also produced here. Bielsko-Biała is also famous for its beautiful railway station and a mysterious attraction, a 12th-century stronghold, which is the remains of a defensive and crafts settlement.
