Augustow is a city in northeastern Poland, in Podlaskie Voivodship, with a population of about 30,000. Its location in Podlasie, on the Netta River surrounded by lakes and the vast Augustów Primeval Forest, makes it a popular vacation destination. Augustów was voted "The nicest city in Poland" in 2014, and there's something about it - its people are extremely hospitable, and the unspoiled nature encourages you to spend at least some time there.
When visiting Augustów, it's worth seeing, first of all, its rather unusual, wooded market square. In the heart of Augustow's old town, a park initially called Saxon Garden and later Jagiellonian Garden was established in 1847. It houses the Column of Sigismund Augustus, founded on the 450th anniversary of the granting of city rights.
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.
The city is located in the northeastern part of Poland, in the Podlasie Province. Due to its proximity to the Lithuanian border, it is an important transportation hub. Transit roads to the border crossings in Budzisko and Ogrodniki, as well as national and provincial roads pass through Augustow. The Augustow bypass (DK8) and a section of the S61 expressway were opened in 2014.
The city has a railroad station and makes direct connections to Bialystok and Warsaw. The Augustow bus station is located in the vicinity of the Zygmunt August Square, while our coaches stop near the Augustow lock and the district police headquarters. Bus to Augustow runs from many cities in Poland and abroad. You can check timetables for individual coach connections on our website.
