Bielsko-Biała

Bielsko-Biała is best known in Poland for its textile-manufacturing heritage. The city grew from the adjoining towns of Bielsko and Biała, separated by the Biała River until their 1951 union, and former mills still give parts of the centre an industrial character. At the northern foot of the Silesian Beskids, it is closely linked to mountain country while remaining part of the Silesian Voivodeship. The Sułkowski Castle, home to the Bielsko-Biała Museum, recalls the old Bielsko town, while the nineteenth-century streetscape prompted the nickname “Little Vienna.” View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Bielsko-Biała relates to the Silesian Beskids and Silesia.
