Andrychów is a town of about 20,000 people in Małopolska province on the Wieprzówka River, lying between Wadowice and Kęty. It was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, while it received city rights in 1767. For several centuries now, Andrychów has been famous for its cotton and textile industry, later also for its engineering industry. There is now a subzone of the special economic zone there, managed by the Cracow Technology Park.
Because of its location at the foot of the Beskid Maly mountains and a short distance from Cracow, Bielsko-Biala, Wadowice or Oswiecim, it is a very attractive tourist destination. The town itself is very atmospheric and also has many interesting attractions to offer. It is worth starting your sightseeing with the centrally located market square with the nearby city park and seeing the classicist Bobrowski Palace. A rich treasure trove of knowledge about Andrychów and its surroundings is the Historical and Ethnographic Museum, whose collections include old objects of daily use of the inhabitants, farm machinery or a rich collection related to Andrychów's Jews.
Andrychów is a good place to go with children - due to the multitude of entertainment activities in nearby Inwald, as well as the numerous possibilities for organizing undemanding family trips to the Beskids. Hiking trails in the vicinity of the town are graceful - not too difficult to walk and at the same time providing beautiful views and interesting attractions along the way.
Andrychow lies along national road 52 and provincial road 781. There are two train stations and a bus station in the town. Our buses stop at the bus station at 23 Krakowska Street, near the Andrychów Train Station. Bus to Andrychów is an ideal travel option not only if you want to visit the city itself, but also when you are planning a trip to the nearby Beskid Maly.
.The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. It is actually the center of the city, so you will reach the nearest and one of the most important points of interest in the city, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.
On the other hand, heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.
If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.
The Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worthy of your attention. There, the works of Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.
The museum is a great place to visit.
Monchengladbach can furthermore be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodation in Monchengladbach should be slightly lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar for virtually a whole week.
