When traveling around Poland, the Kujawsko-Pomorskie region is often overlooked. Located in the north of the country, it doesn’t have direct access to the Baltic Sea, that’s why most tourists decide to go further up, to Gdansk or other coastal towns. There are many amazing places to visit in Kujawsko Pomorskie Poland though.
If you have enough time to travel to this beautiful province, don’t miss it. From the lovely towns to the unique Biskupin archeological site– the Cuiavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship has a lot to offer.
Here’s the map of the best places to visit in Kujawsko-Pomorskie that you can find in this post:

Toruń
One of the most beautiful cities in Poland, Torun is known for 3 things: the gingerbreads, Mikolaj Kopernik (who discovered that the Sun is in the center of the Universe), and…. Radio Maryja. It’s the Polish Catholic radio station that is pretty controversial.
What tourists love about Torun is definitely a beautiful Old Town.
Take a walking tour around this lovely area and see the Leaning Tower, the Museum House of Nicolas Copernicus, and try local gingerbreads!
Bory Tucholskie
This UNESCO site is divided between Kujawsko Pomorskie and Pomorskie Voivodeships.
There are many hiking trails in this biosphere reserve, so it’s definitely a place worth visiting for nature lovers.
Chełmno
This medieval town is probably one of the most romantic places in Poland.
Why? Because you can find relics of Saint Valentine in the Parish church in Chełmno.
Wander around the colorful Old Town, try some local food, and take photos of Chełmno from above from the top of the Lookout Tower.
Archaeological Museum in Biskupin
That’s definitely one of the best places to visit in Kujawsko Pomorskie province!
The Archaeological Museum in Biskupin is a model of the ancient Slavic settlement from the 8th century BC.
Visitors have a chance to see how the ancestors of today’s Poles have been living in the past.
What’s interesting, the archeological site has been discovered at the beginning of the 20th century by local kids, who kept finding old items in Biskupin Lake.
Here’s the video I made in Biskupin when I was visiting in May 2023.
Bydgoszcz
The biggest city in Kujawsko Pomorskie, Bydgoszcz is also considered by some the capital of the province. Others point Torun as the official capital.
It doesn’t matter which city is more important- all that matters is that both places are definitely worth visiting!
Bydgoszcz has a beautiful Old Town, interesting museums (f.e. The Museum of The Dirt and the Soap), and some amazing monuments like the cathedral.
This city is definitely one of the most vibrant places in the Cuiavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Just like in Inowrocław, you can visit Tężnie Solankowe to breathe the salty air, walk around the park, and also drink local healing spring water.
