Olsztyn – The capital of thousand lakes<\/h1>\n

Olsztyn boasts an\u00a0amazing location in\u00a0the\u00a0middle of\u00a0wild nature. As\u00a0is fitting, the\u00a0capital of\u00a0the\u00a0Warmi\u0144sko-Mazurskie Province has several lakes and\u00a0a\u00a0large forest complex, all within the\u00a0municipality. The\u00a0omnipresent greenery surrounds Gothic and\u00a0Art Nouveau buildings and\u00a0provides a\u00a0 pleasing contrast to the\u00a0 colors of\u00a0 the\u00a0 town.

Towering over Olsztyn is St. James\u2019s Basilica, an impressive brick edifice, becoming the dignity of a bishop\u2019s seat, which the town has been for over 600 years. The Basilica has amazing acoustics which one can appreciate all the more during the Olsztyn Organ Concerts. The town, which grew around a 14th century Teutonic Knights\u2019 watchtower, has close links to the history of our great astronomer, Copernicus, who lived here for many years as a high ranking church official. His astronomical instruments are kept in the castle. Visitors can also see the Planetarium and the Astronomical Observatory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
