When visiting Augustów, it's worth seeing, first of all, its rather unusual, wooded market square.

The market is surrounded by 19th and 20th century townhouses, the oldest surviving of which, dating from 1801, hosted Napoleon Bonaparte. In addition, noteworthy in the city are the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, or the Augustow Land Museum. However, one of the most popular attractions in the area is cruising along the Augustow Canal and observing the operation of the locks present on it, as well as sailing on the nearby lakes and hiking along the trails of the Augustow Forest.
