See the other thread in this forum: entitled Bydgoszcz: Poland's Best Kept Secret for lots of views (good and bad) on Bydgoszcz. Great town square. Interesting churches. Luxurious post office. Good night clubs. And, if ever you tire of Bydgoszcz, try taking the train to Torun for the day.

Merged: Visiting Bydgoszcz, looking for sightseeing and dining tips, Warsaw travel

Hi everyone ,

I am new to this forum but been lurking for a couple of months and have some questions.

I'll be visiting a friend and his family for a week between 26 december and 2 januari and will be celebrating new years' eve with him and his family.

Does anyone has some tips for sightseeing around bydgoszcz or outside the city.
My friend said maybe Warsaw by train and gdansk or torun.
I also looking for good polish food restaurants and cafe's in bydgoszcz.

Hello,
Try Sowa near Stary Rynek or IQ (you have both a cafe and restaurant all together) or Stary Port (with traditional Polish cuisine). For shopping choose Focus Park, Galeria Pomorska or Drukarnia (you can dine there too). As for cities, Toruń is really nice though smaller than Bydgoszcz, when in Gdańsk, stay in Sopot and Gdynia as well, Warsaw... Warsaw is just big but still worth visiting especially if you travel that far. If you are tempted to go down south, visit Cracow and Wieliczka... :)

The planaterium in Torun is excellent and would be a good thing to do in the winter.

I paid 49 PLN for the ride to Bydgoszcz from Warsaw... and so I think that you should budget 110 PLN for a return from Bydgoszcz.. There are some good cafes in the Stary Miasto area ... so do take a look there too. BTW, it also has the local tourist office there and they will give you more info on the local sights and bites..

hope that this helps u somewhat

Thanks,

my friend said driving to warsaw was cheaper for 4 people but if the weather doesn't hold up we will take the train.
Will go to gdansk and torun for sure and maybe national park MYSLECINEK.
I'm going just to walk around Bydgoszcz and just downloaded some tourist trails from the official website of the city.

Travel from Warsaw to Bydgoszcz?

I'm from Dubai and this is the first time for me to visit Poland. I have been visited before more than 15 countries in Europe.

I have this question: How can I transfer from Warsaw Airport to Bydgoszcz city, I found flight but after 10 hours from the arrive time, so it is better to take train and not wait in the airport. So would you please inform me...

The train will take you about 4 hours. Its the best idea and it is easy to travel from the airport to Warsaw train station.
