General presentation
Kalisz
One of the oldest Polish cities, with squares, parks, theatre, churches and quiet provincial atmosphere.
Rynek de Kalisz, Municipal Park and Saint Joseph Sanctuary give the most telling landmarks of Kalisz. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage and riverscapes meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 2 days, it is better to balance the visits and the travel times. Also to be expected: short stay and discreet destination. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Rynek de Kalisz

Nature
Parc municipal
The municipal park of Kalisz is one of the most pleasant areas of the city, with old alleys, water, mature trees and footbridges. Its proximity to the center allows you to easily pass from squares and churches to a greener walk on the edge of the Prosna.
Town or village
Sanctuaire Saint-Joseph
Saint Joseph's Sanctuary Kalisz Attracts pilgrims around a venerated image and a well-established religious tradition. The interior, chapels and the atmosphere of prayer give a visit more spiritual than decorative, in the heart of a city often approached for its seniority.
