Why study in the Gorzow Wielkopolski?

It reverberates with the sounds of organ grinders and jazz, as well as monuments to tramp Szymon Bent and gypsy poet Papusza, and gives speedway fans emotions. It's a community full of unusual sights and encounters.

The long Nadwarcianski Boulevard in the second capital of the Lubuskie Voivodeship, next to Zielona Góra, catches the eye when seen from the viewpoint of a drone. Just one lane, Bolesawa Chrobrego, runs through this green walking area of Gorzów, and it is isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city by the historic railway flyover, Poland's longest. It is lined with potted palm trees in the summer and insulated by solar panels in the winter. The European Union sundial is ticking on the boulevard, an aviary with exotic birds sounds and works, a gastronomic area, including a cafe on the ship Królowa Jadwiga permanently moored to the shore, is continuously growing, and a gastronomic area, including a cafe on the ship Królowa Jadwiga, is permanently moored to the coast. The oldest icebreaker in Poland, the 135-year-old Kuna, takes passengers on a cruise. One of Gorzow's "furniture," or statues commemorating people from the city's history, can be located on the end of the boulevard. This is Pawe Zacharek, a former carrier navigating the Warta River in his own boat, which is so large that you can hop in and take a snap. Sunbathing is encouraged at the local town beach. And this is just the beginning of Gorzów Wielkopolski's attractions.

The thirteenth-century is the most valuable memorial and is considered one of Gorzów Wielkopolski's landmarks. The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary features a triptych-style main altar in the Renaissance style. Despite the fact that only a 40-meter-high defense tower, which provided a beautiful view of the capital, was demolished in a fire in 2017, the temple was closed and is undergoing reconstruction. Many unusual objects from various periods were uncovered during the work, including a knife from the early Middle Ages, clay pots from the end of the same period, and old nails from the 18th century. a coin, manuscripts, and music sheet

While the territory at the mouth of the Warta was controlled by the state of Poland in the early Middle Ages, it later fell into the possession of its western neighbor as a result of district division. The Hermann Paucksch-funded fountain in the Old Market Square, which stands next to the cathedral, is a reminder of Gorzów's former status as Landsberg. It is adorned with the figure of a powerful lady, a water carrier known as Bamberka, who is supposed to reflect Gorzów residents' vigilance as well as the life-giving ideals of the Warta River. Numerous Art Nouveau tenement houses with typical plant and animal ornaments can be seen on the Old Town streets of Chrobrego and Lokietka. The villas of Max Bahr, which now houses the Bishop Wilhelm Pluta Institute, and Gustaw Schroeder, which houses the Lubuski Museum, stand out among the eclectic, Art Nouveau houses of former Landsberg factory founders. On the Warta River, one of its branches was housed in a half-timbered historic Granary. It features a 17th-century Landsberg mock-up that serves as an outstanding example of the city's heritage.

The Teatr im. Juliusz Osterwa is a must-see for culture buffs. Zdzisaw Najder and Zbigniew Herbert were among the former literary directors, and Agnieszka Holland (theatre director), Stanisaw Syrewicz (music), Edward Lutczyn (set design), and Andrzej Wajda, Józef Szajna, and Stanisaw Grochowiak were among the guests. For several decades, the centre has hosted Gorzów Theater Meetings, and Chopin Picnics features the Gorzów Philharmonic. It is the pride of the region and one of Poland's newest philharmonics. Its ultra-modern architectural shape, which resembles an organ emerging from a round table and has rooms for nearly 600 people, conceals an interior that is similarly innovative in terms of technological and acoustic solutions.

Days of Gorzów, Night Cultural Trail, Koniec Summer Party, DYM Festival, Festival of Interesting Films, International Meetings of Brass Bands Alte Kameraden, Getin'out Festival International Meetings of Gypsy Bands Romane Dyves, or the National Festival of Monodramas are only a few of the activities that take place in Gorzów Wielkopolski.

Two of Gorzów's "urban furniture" can be found in the Spring of Nations Park, which is also known as the Rose Park due to its rose garden. The first outdoor sculpture depicts the Gorzów Brass Band, which has played over 3.5 thousand times and won a slew of coveted awards in its 60-year history. The second sculpture is modeled after Bronisawa Wajs, a Romani poet who used to sit in the park. Her character was first featured in the film "Papusza," directed by Joanna Kos-Krauze and Krzysztof Krauze and starring Jowita Budnik, a few years ago. The Spring of Nations Park is a ródmiecie oasis. There are hundred-year-old plane trees and pink chestnut trees in the park's alleys, and you can go canoeing along the pond.

Szymon Gita, the renowned Gorzow tramp - another in a sequence of street furniture - "stopped for a moment" on his bike near the Park 111 shopping center at ul. Sikorski. Because of his fluid vocabulary, ability to tell not always convincing stories, and write different versions of his own biographies, Kazimierz Wnuk, a collector of waste paper, scrap, and bottles, earned his nickname. He is popular for the events mocking the government and political establishment during the People's Republic of Poland's May 1st marches. In Gorzów, there is a statue of Edward Jancarz, who is riding a motorcycle, as well as a speedway stadium named after him.

Is this the last of the fun? What gives? Now it's time for a statue of finstera, a nude iron man, the Witches' Well, which is linked to the legend of Gorzów's last woman burnt for playing with the devil, and a recreation of a historic Landsberg tram. Maybe some Nordic walks in Sowiaski Park, some fun in the marina, or a decent dose of music at the cult Jazz Club "Pod Filarami," where Nigel Kennedy himself performed? In this city, no one gets bored!
