Bialystok is located in eastern Poland, adjacent to Belarus and the Bialowieza Forest. It is a fairly large and developed city, with major industrial enterprises, yet it is not at all industrial. The local architecture is sure to impress anyone with its richness and diversity.

Bialystok Attractions and Attractions
The Baroque Branicki Palace is one of the city’s main attractions. Construction began in the late 17th century and was finally completed in the 18th century. This building was the residence of the Polish-Lithuanian hetman Jan Klemens Branicki. The palace is set in a 10-hectare park, home to sumptuous sculptures, gardens, and pavilions. The main gate at the entrance to the residence is decorated with an image of a griffin.

Other beautiful palaces include the Citron Palace with its richly decorated façade, the classical Lubomirski Palace, and the Hasbach Palace, stylized in a medieval style.
