General presentation
Białystok
Town of Podlachie between Branicki Palace, multicultural heritage, parks and gates to Białowieśa, Narew and the northeast.
Branicki Palace, Rynek Kościuszki and Supraśl give the most telling landmarks of Białystok. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage and forests meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Palace
Palais Branicki
The Palais Branicki gives to Białystok Its most noble décor, with courtyard, regular gardens and carefully restored Baroque facades. The whole, now linked to the University of Medicine, is visited mainly for its external perspectives and its atmosphere of Polish magnate residence.
Town or village
Rynek Kościuszki
The Rynek Kościuszki the city hall, the terraces and the low facades of the centre of Białystok. Around this elongated square, the city reveals its mixture of Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish and merchant traditions, in a more daily than monumental atmosphere.
Town or village
Supraśl
Supraśl, at the edge of the forest of Knyszyn, combines Orthodox monastery, wooden houses and quiet little resort. The icons museum gives there a strong cultural reason to exit from Białystok, with an atmosphere of Podlachie very different from the city.
