Żary

Żary was originally a medieval city surrounded by 15th c. walls. In subsequent centuries, a Renaissance castle, a Baroque palace and numerous Art Nouveau tenement houses were built. A splendid Gothic parish church where classical music concerts are organized dominates the Old Town architecture. Moreover, picturesque cycling and walking trails cross the town and lead towards the neighboring Żary Heights and to the Green Forest. The town also has a well-developed accommodation base as well as a complex of indoor swimming pools. Sports fields, tennis courts and gyms are available for sports enthusiasts. The beautiful woods that surround Żary are abundant in blueberries and mushrooms and invite fans of strolling. Horse riding enthusiasts can visit the nearby stables and enjoy the attractions they offer. The green tourism farms outside the town are also worth spending some time at. The town itself is home to plenty of annual sports and cultural events featuring famous artists. The "Understanding" International Music Festival is regularly held in the last week of May. At the beginning of June, the Festival of Żary is exuberantly celebrated, which is followed by the International Open-air Painting and Sculpture Meetings, the International Street Theater Festival, the Viennese Music Festival and the Telemann Concert, which takes place in November. Theater and art lovers can explore the town's rich offer, including its Exhibition Hall.
