Locals recommend
  • See Poland's first railroad station mock-up made of LEGO. It can be viewed at the historic Legnica railroad station. It consists of 45 thousand elements.
  • Enjoy a Legnica bomb at local cafes. Under this explosive name is a kind of gingerbread in a chocolate coating with almonds or nuts. The cake in truly bombastic form is a must-sweet snack for any gourmet of original desserts.
  • Experiment with optics at the Witelon Center. Be sure to visit this place and learn about the world from a different perspective.
  • See the fabulous panorama of the city from St. Peter's Tower in the Piast Castle or from the observation tower in the Church of the Virgin Mary.
  • See the "Green Chamber" in Piast Castle - the only one of its kind in Poland.
  • Take a stroll through Tarninów, the city's most charming and magical district, where almost every townhouse and villa from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is an architectural gem. It's worth noting the remains of the wall in the so-called "Square"—a relic from the time when Legnica was divided into Polish and Soviet parts.
  • Go with the whole family to a light and music show of fountains in the historic City Park. Just in time to end the evening. The fountains operate during the spring-summer season, show times can be found at: www.legnica.travel
