Do you know that in Bielsko Biała above the castle there are also interesting places and a square where there are pubs and cafes around
8:14 it is actually Reksio
3 maja (3rd may) - the constitution day (first in Europe, second in the world), 11 listopada (11th november) - the independence day :)
10:19 Baltazar Gąbka old Polish cartoon
My wife is from a small village on the outskirts of Bielsko-Biała , and went to school there. Now living in Scotland when we go home we always have a day out in Bielsko-Biała. a hidden gem amongst many beautiful city's in Poland. great to see it getting recognised in your channel.
We love BB ❤️ 🇵🇱
Gdzie w Szkocji mieszkacie? Ja też z okolic B-B i mieszkam w West Lothian 😉 pozdrawiam 😎
A ja urodzony i wychowany w Szkocji, teraz mieszkam koło Bielska :) Pozdrawiam
Zwiedzanie poblicznych gór polecam wyjazd kolejką gondolową (można dojechać autobusem numer 8) na Szyndzelnie, potem udać się szlakiem w strone Błatnia, następnie do Wapenicy przez Palenice (wczesnośredniowieczne miejse kultowe, trudne do znalezienie bo mocno zaniedbane). Z Wapienicy do centrum można wrócić autobusem numer 16
Thanks for watching! There is an issue with the comment section on CZcams, and all of the first comments in the first 1 hour of this video have disappeared from the chat. Please comment below!!

Go to Pszczyna. It's not far from Bielsko-Biała. :)
Id love to see the palace in Pszczyna ;)
Go to Kielce or Swietokrzyskie montain
Wow!I appreciate your preference for authenticity and your great taste!I love this vlog👌💕👍👏
So nice of you! thank you!
I love your style of exploring 😃👍
Thank you 😁
Love it guys really cool video,and loads of info (some things I didn’t even know🤣)!!
Sorry Naomi I’d have to go with Luke’s choice in zupolandia (minus the burnt mouth🤣) 👍
Bielsko-Biala looks beautiful! It will only get better as more buildings get restored. I absolutely loved the building with the frogs. So unique!
Btw, it looks like Studio Filmow Rysunkowych (the animation studio where famous cartoons, such as Bolek and Lolek and Reksio, were produced) is getting an interactive exhibit. I'm not sure whether that's open yet or not.
Can't wait for the video from the mountains!
architecture Art nouveau de classe mondiale, we just call it biala centrum, despiting details 😉
I mean most of bielitzers dont realize of our cultural heritage 😄
Thanks for visiting my home town! I'm happy you liked it so much. Bielsko-Biała used to be a very industrial city in the past and one of its nicknames (apart from "Little Vienna") was "Silesian Manchester" because of the abundance of textile factories there. I don't live in Bielsko-Biała anymore (moved into the countryside a few years ago) but I still love to pay it a visit once in a while and have a coffee at the old market square.
🎉🎉
Yes, strawberries actually are ripe in may / june under cover in glasshouses, go and try, if they have green leaves, they smell and taste and are sold in these wooden bags, its pretty sure they are fresh and Polish ;) bielsko-biala is known of Polish children animation movies :)
Amazing! thank you!
@@TwoMadExplorers just be careful if they dont smell, are white or green, dont buy it
@@rafalkaminski6389 haha great! thank you! :)
Piękne miasto byłem kilka razy
And also I would like to point it out that is not a competition who will present a place or food better!!! It's about how you guys present it as it is your channel and we all (well most of us 😉) watch it for You guys and your style and experiences 😘
Great point! love you guys!
@@TwoMadExplorers 🥰
True. Also for honesty and showing places off the track.
This cucumber is not a pickle, it differs, it's called "ogórek kiszony"-soured cucumber, not gherkin, cucumber. The water from it, kind of a brine, but not brine exactly cuz there's no vinegar in it is the best cure for hangover, seriously, no kidding. Try it after a proper party, you'll be surprised as heck.
Thank you for showing us round the most beautiful parts of Poland ❤
We will be back one day 🇵🇱
This is the closest bigger city to my village of Istebna, apart from a beautiful Cieszyn, which half of it belongs to Poland and the other one to the Czech Republic. Bielsko-Biała used to be called a little Viena of Beskid mountains.
If you plan to go for Szyndzielnia with the gondolas make sure to hike a little further from the upper station to Klimczok summit with beautiful view into south. It is quite a short hike and you will not regret it. I would also recommend Góra Żar with a cute little train going all the way up to the summit. It is a central point for paragliding in the area so you would see a lot of that there. And the views are superb! Actually I'm from Gdańsk but I was in the area near you a month ago doing some exploration myself, and those places are my findings.
Thank you so much!! great recommendations!
Serdecznie Was pozdrawiam z mojego rodzinnego miasta, pięknego i historycznego!♥️⚘
visit Cavatina Hall in Biała for the evening concert
Thank you for visiting and enjoying my home town :) The locals usually forget where they live, how beautiful is our city, how many architecture treasures they can find there. Of course in everyday rush we miss all these things but sometimes it is good stop and look around.
I'm delighted with your polish accent. If you like the urban architecture of tenement houses, you must visit Poznań, especially the Jeżyce district and Łazarz. I'll be there for a week from tomorrow. If you show up, I'd be happy to be your guide :) All the best
I was born in Bielsko Biala and I know all the streets and great Buildings also the hills Great town.
Recommendations: in the nearby town of Żywiec (trains go there from B-B) there's a historic brewery of the Żywiec beer and the Habsburg's Castle, the city is surrounded by mountains, lies by a river and a lake, worth checking out if you have some free time. Definitely check out the gondola to Szyndzielnia or head to Szczyrk, where you can do the same, but to the tallest of the local mountains - Skrzyczne. Another lovely city nearby is Cieszyn, one of the oldest citites in Poland, likely predates the country, it has a place called Cieszyn's Venice, with little restaurants by water canals, a well where supposedly the legendary chieftains of Slavic tribes split their ways to found Poland, Czechia and Rus' and it's right on the Czech border and fairly close on the Czech side there's a reconstructed ancient slavic settlement. In the Katowice direction there's a town of Tychy, with their own historic brewery (Tyskie beer).
Other: it's Barlitz'kyego street, the train station was built by the order of the austrian emperor, as a part of Vienna-Kraków railway, the food stands by the stations used to sell a classic commie fast food - hot dog buns filled with mushrooms, people loved them, we actually have more malls: there's also Gemini and post-commie Klimczok shopping centre, the dog statue was actually from another cartoon - Reksio, as there were many made by the Studio Filmów Rysunkowych, also, by the protestant church there's a statue of Martin Luther, some say the only one in Poland
This is a great comment! super helpful for our research. Thank you a lot!
@@TwoMadExplorers almost forgot, Auschwitz concetration camp is in Oświęcim, it's not quite like the other stuff I mentioned, obviously, but you may want to visit it when you're around, although you might have to book a place in a guided tour, also i'm not sure if that's what you're interested in seeing
Very old church in Cieszyn, built in Roman style, don't remember correctly now, but 800's or 900's, so over 1000 years old, well worth seeing. Also Sucha Beskidzka (Sucha-Suha phoneticly), which is in about an hour, hour and a half distance from Bielsko. Surrounded by Beskidy Mountains, on the bank of the Skawa (Skava) River and with very nice castle just on the outskirts. Castle inside looks like miniature Wawel, I mean inside yard and is surrounded by beautiful park. In the town there is also very famous locally and very old inn called Karczma Rzym, with superb legend about Mr Twardovski and the Devil himself. Poland is so rich in interesting places, that you really would have to come for at least a year to just scratch the surface.
❤❤❤ I cannot tell you how much we have enjoyed watching this vlog ♥️ I am very happy you guys enjoyed your time in Bielsko and you also went to Danny's favourite restaurant Zupolandia. 😀
These street food stalls just outside of the train station they actually really old but I am not sure how old, I remember going there with my granny and she would always buy me a bread filled with fried mushrooms and ketchup 😋 (I had weird taste of food as child lol).
What an experience with the check in WOW !!! Next time just text me guys if you need anything 😉.
Oh and by the way Danny also enjoys hot dogs from Zabka 🤪 Great stuff 👍 we watch this vlog with a massive smile all the way through !!!! LOVE IT ❤️
I'm Polish myself and I've got very similar taste to yours, looks like. I love fried mushrooms on bread or bun to this day and I like a lot more of weird stuff to eat as well: tatar, meat gelly, even raw fish, can't say why, just like it 😁
@@lm157 hahaha me too ✋️ 🤣 I love meat jelly (cat food according to my English husband lol) and steak tartar is so good as well but I do think that this is "extreme" food for someone who is not polish 😅
@@hertravels I could eat hamburger raw and ask for more, really like raw meat. Am I twisted? 😁
@@lm157 No nothing wrong with that 😉
Polecam zwiedzić najstarsze miasto w Polsce czyli Kalisz w województwie Wielkopolskim , w którym mamy stary i nowy rynek ,szlak bursztynowy i wiele innych zabytków !!!
3 Maja = May 3rd.. The holiday celebrates the declaration of the Constitution of 3 May 1791.
regarding Oshee, white is the standard flavor. "Pink", or rather purple, is an additional flavor related to the book/game/series The Witcher.
great video Naomi and Luke, you are really Great, my like. greetings from Argentina
Wow, thank you!
I love this video and how much fun you guys are having there. So many gorgeous, unique places to see. I’d love to check this place out one day!
Thank you so much!
We also have Gemini AND Sarni Stok shopping Malls. All the best and we hope to see you Again in Bielsko!!!
❤️
My wife from bielsko biala and I have there many times. Absolutely beautiful city

Another great video ❤️
Nice Video !!
That shopping mail...I need to go. 👍😊
Awesome Have fun !
Great video!
GREAT video!
Thanx for showing this pretty city i born there so many memmories
❤️🇵🇱❤️🇵🇱
Super Video
Not many people make video about Bielsko Biala...or less popular cities/vilages
but thank you for doing this.
Thank you!!
Thank you so much Guys ( 21:04) 👍👍👍👍👍👍
my mum grew up in Poland and the kiosks were around her city already in the 1960s
Piękny film zrobiliście o mieście, w którym mieszkam, o Bielsku-Białej👍. Pozdrawiam 😀
Thank you for your job! Stay healthy
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Try kotlety mielone next time. They are something between meat balls and hamburgers. Juicy, soft, for me much better than schabowe.
OOOH wow sounds amazing!
@@TwoMadExplorers If they're made well, they're delicious, really mouth watering stuff :)
Mielone are trash, schabowe są o wiele lepsze
Thank you for taking your time to get the historical narrative of the place on top of a great footage and everyday observations. Good job!
Thanks Damian ❤️😊🇵🇱
Pozdrawiam z B-B. Cieszę się że podobało się Wam nasze miasto.
Thank you so much ..we watched this video review last night and today we went to zupelandia restaurant..and as you said..the food was amazing, location easy to find and prices very pocket friendly 😀 👍. Went to the mall too,shopping and ice-cream.
❤️🇵🇱❤️
I recommend visiting the city of Pszczyna and its surroundings. There is a castle, park and much more there, and the area itself is worth visiting
Thank you very much for promoting my country, I have never been to Bielsko-Biała, now I will definitely choose, best regards ...
Well made video with interesting information. 😊
🙏🙏🙏
amazing!
WOW - The Train Station is Amazinggggg!!!
Would like to see your accommodations where you stay in each city.
For some reason I just like to see what the rooms look like 😀
Btw I like seeing the nature walks! It’s beautiful out there!
I remember those food kiosks/stands from the early 80's. One used to sell kinda hot dogs but with sauted mushrooms instead of frankfurters. Another one was selling cone ice creams and jam doughnuts. I suppose they were there since the early 70's. At least 2 of them. Bielsko used to be a part of Austria. Austrian enclave, hence the architecture and its nickname Little Vienna. Old name: Bielitz.
Obok dworca głównego pokazane budki z jedzeniem istnieją ponad 30 lat i tam jest najlepsza bułka z pieczarkami w mieście :)
wow, to brzmi niesamowicie!
super
Kotlet Mielone is like a German Frikadelle but the Poles do coat it whit breadrumbs before they fry it
A very good dish is
"Rolada, -gummiklöße, -modro kapusta"
Come on :) I started watching you recently and here came the episode from Bielsko :) And I'm from this beautiful city :) Regards and watching more :)
In this food stand behind u they serve my favourite street food ever which is “bułka z pieczarkami”, hot dog bap filled with spiced fried mushrooms. I haven’t seen it anywhere else which makes it uniquely considered with my beloved hometown ❤️
Wow. Bielsko - Biała is not even for Poles the obvious destination to visit! Cool guys!
Thank you Marcin! 🙏🙏
They are as small as Rybnik, visit Rybnik then :D It is on your way, Pszczyna, Żory, Rybnik, Gliwice, Katowice, Warszawa the rest of the world :D
I love your video ❤️ I am from BB but currently live in UK.So many good memories made in BB .You did show my city beautifully. Thank you guys 😊
Thank you so much Maria ❤️🇵🇱
I love Bielsko Biala. We where there in june. My neighbour woman comes from there and is born in Bielsko. In November 2021 I was there for the first time. I was immediality in love with this city. 26 October I will go there for a few days. We sleeping at the house of the parents. In 2024 I will go to live there and enjoy my life after a workfull life.
Bielsko-Biała it's one of the largest cities in Poland no. 20 I think. You visited maybe 3% of the city and you did not mention that Bielsko-Biała is located in very beautiful mountains, I recommend you to visit, you can get there by cable car. Also visit Międzybrodzie Bialskie and Żywieckie, its there a huge lake located Surrounded of the mountains, a picturesque area in the mountains, right next to Bielsko-Biała
We have been there! our next video will show the amazing nature on Thursday :)
Babia góra, or some interesting trail and on the way "Schronisko Górskie PTTK "Rysianka" for example :)
Legendarna Rysianka :D
go to mountain
Nice place
About churches, in Katowice is one very beautiful basilica, name of it is Bazylika św. Ludwika Króla i Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny (Basilica of St. King Louis and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) and it's in Panewniki district. If you will be again in Poland in christmas time, I recommend go there and see Europe's largest altar nativity scene built inside a temple, I'm not christian, but even for me it's something amazing. There are also some small narivity scenes from different countries, even from african countries, and also living nativity scene, that means some animals. This basilica have also big green calvary, beautiful place. :)
Rada Miejska = City Hall....
You should give Wisła a try, it is nearby. The name of the town is the same as the largest river in Poland, which has its source there.
Go to Skrzyczne mount top with help of a chair line that will take you up there the view from the top is stunning. Skrzyczne is not far away from Bielsko Biala. You should take a bus to Szczyrk. Besides there are 3 big skijumps.
when you are in Silesia try Silesia roulade dinner Silesian dumplings and red cabbage and rosuł
Must try! Being in Silesia and not trying it is a SIN! 😉
Love the way you pronounced Biedronka... beer drunker 😎. How ironic is the fact that two foreigners convinced a Polish guy to visit Bielsko Biała 😉
🇵🇱 ❤️ Bielsko is so cool
holy moly
Hello guys, speaking of north north of Poland, i recommended visit old town in Toruń city (Unesco since 2007), next recommendation: Malbork castle - the largest castle in the world measured by land area (Unesco). Then visit Gdynia Gdansk Sopot (Tri-city), beautiful cities. Other places hmm i recommended also Auschwitz-Birkenau museum in Oswiecim near Cracow, it's sad experience because concentration camp etc., but definitely worth to visit at least once in your life. In Silesia, castle Książ is worth to visit too. Enjoy your trip in Poland guys :)
Luke Polish people will respect you for taking the hat off when you eat...good job.
👍👍🇵🇱🇵🇱❤️❤️❤️
If you like places not touristy I do recommend north east of Poland like city Suwalki Bialystok Olsztyn Zamosc. Lublin places that foreign tourists don’t go much ! All the best
yes is the town's hall and those two flags, one is the flag of the city and the other is the flag of the province (voivodeship) of Silesia.🔆
🍻🍀🤣 I just start to watching U today..., and as well I just back from my lovely home city Bielsko - Biała to Dublin. Greetings from Ireland. Great vlogs 🇮🇪🍀 🇵🇱🍻
Ah wow, Luke is from Dublin!! Thanks so much watching :)
@@TwoMadExplorers No worries🍻 Nice to see my city after 2 week's of holidays there. Love Dublin as well..., after 15 years being based here, it's like my city now. Thx a million 🍻🇵🇱🇮🇪🍀🍻
According to the stair case, the balustrade (railings) is made of cast or forged iron, it's not steel. I think according to its look, it's a peak of industrial revolution period, mid or late 1800's.
Thanks for great videos showing Poland from a foreigner's point of view. If you need more inspirations, I recommend you to go to the north next time - to cities related to M. Kopernik (Nicolaus Copernicus) - Toruń and Olsztyn, as well as Giżycko, the vacation capital of Mazury Lake District. In the first weekend of August every year (6-7.08 this year) there is an air show over the lake in Giżycko. You could also take a cruise on a small tourist ship which is a great adventure, as well as some of the restaurants near the main beach.
Thank you!! Our next stops will be Wrocław, Łodz, Torun and Warsaw!
Hopefully a lot more on our next trip here :)
@@TwoMadExplorers Hey guys! Don't forget about Gdansk (and Tricity in general). Love your vlog! Thanks for sharing! :) ❤️
We ❤ BB
Hi, i glad you visit Poland and show people less popular tourist destination. If you have more time I recommend visit Pszczyna. It's a small town but very nice. It's call a "Pearl of Silesia". You can see here a historic old town, palace and English-style park. Very popular is "Pokazowa Zagroda Żubrów", when you can see European bison.
I very like your video, so I subscribed and going to watch your older videos.
Thanks for the tips!
Strawberry season in Poland is June :)
River Biała is still the border of Lesser Poland and Silesia, Polish voivodship are not the historical/cultural regions which Silesia and Lesser Poland are. 'Silesian Voivodship' is just a name of administrative region and it combines of parts of two historical regions, Silesia and Lesser Poland just like former city of Bielsko in Silesia and former city of Biała Krakowska in Lesser Poland, now both as one silesian-lesserpolish city of Bielsko-Biała
❤❤
🙏🙏
Żywiec is closeby... Could do a brewery tour
If you like Bielsko - Biała you also should see Kielce and places nerby. Places where history and nature mix together. If you want I will write (or show) you about Kielce and świętokrzyskie voivodship.
im from western Poland, but you ask about places who we like an they are dont in foreginers "menu". In my mind, the most lovely place like this is : Zamość city! this place is stunning (for me) its sad you where so close and dont visit Zamość, but you mention about to visit maybe Kazimierz Dolny in Olsztn video, so you gona be close again. If you chave a chance i believe i worth to visit place too. I know many smaller places to visit but ont know you goa lke it, but zamos is defeniteli worth to show by you eyes. Cheers
there are story that zamosc was have the Himmler private city, thts why is not destroy in ww2
Bielsko 💝
Szyndzielnia Klimczok rekomendacją
On the other side of 3 Maja Street is the other part of the old town (near the Sułkowski Castle).
The part of the old city that you haven't visited is even more beautiful 😔
Regards from Bielsko-Biała 🙂
I do not know how you do It guys , but you have got a great video to watch .
THX
👍👍👍
Try Kazimierz Dolny nad Wisłą, together with Miecmierz and Janowiec if you want to have 'off the beaten path' videos. Kazimierz Dolny is touristy but not many CZcamsrs get there. You will be stunned. I guarantee.
Thanks for the recommendations
