Near the border with Poland, this city has a unique blend of
former communism with typical European charm. The central market square is a
lively place where tourists can be seen feeding pigeons outside the opera,
local men sitting on benches playing cards, and older children beating the
younger children at a game of soccer in empty parking lots. It may not be the
wealthiest of cities but it’s people will show you wealth through simple
happiness.
Without a doubt the best place in the city is atop of castle
hill in the evening. Locals and tourists alike climb to the top of this once
fortified hill for its amazing 360 degree view of the entire city. As the
sunsets the church spires shimmer and the city seems frozen in time.
