Brda River, Bydgoszcz
The Brda River in the centre of Bydgoszcz.
Forced to live somewhat unfairly in the shadow of neighbouring Toruń, where annual numbers of tourists outnumber locals 5 to 1, Bydgoszcz is a calmer, more genuine alternative that boasts a tantalisingly-diverse and surprisingly-excellent choice of places to poke your nose in and generally enjoy. The inside of the Cathedral is worth the trip alone, plus there's scores of intriguing museums, a lovely canal and the fascinating story of the Bydgoszcz-born mathematician who shaved three years off the end of WWII and almost certainly prevented nuclear war in Europe. Read all about these fabulous things and more besides within these pages.
