Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Bielsko-Biała is a landmark church with a rich history of reconstruction and redesign, resulting in a mix of architectural styles. This Roman Catholic church, the oldest in the city, boasts stunning stained-glass windows and a soaring tower. Despite its large size, the interior is relatively simple. The cathedral's intricate details and impressive artwork make it a must-see for visitors.
Greatvplace for solitude and meditation in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. We used the side entrance to the Adoration Room.

We went on 1st may, only the main door was open but inside it was close. So we just saw the outer building..yeah it is good architecture no doubt.
Harsangeet K — Google review
The main Catholic Church overlooks the market square. It was founded between 1443 and 1447 and it was almost completely rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century according to a design by Viennese architect Leopold Bauer.

Very interesting cathedral but mostly only outside. The interiors have been painted in so strange colours that they have lost their original, cold character. It is also strange that tower is not open for sightseeing since it may offer astonishing views.

Outdoor Activities
Szyndzielnia, located in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, offers a variety of activities for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can reach the mountain top via an easy hike or by taking a cable car to enjoy stunning 360-degree views of the forested surroundings and the Bielska-Biala valley. The hiking trail starting at the intersection of Karbowej and Armii Krajowej is a popular choice for those seeking panoramic vistas.
Here so many things to describe. Bus no. 7&8 is for szyndzielnia from Bielsko-Biała (prezydnt hous). Bus drop u at end station from where u have to walk around 10-15min. To reach at gondola station. The fee of gondola is 31pln per person. The ride took around 10min. To reach at mid of journey, from where we have to walk around 3 km. Upward for the main destination(view). Moreover if u r vegetarian or only chicken eaters then u need to carry ur own food& water bcz here u only get other stuff.After all the view if u need to come down without gondola thn u must have map. Bcz there are so many different ways which make us confused. Most important the RED(🔴),GREEN(🟢) & YELLOW (🟡) mark on tree is for mapping. Which help us to take exact and right way to get down. We went through the (RED) MARK WHICH WAS QUite SHORT.

Szyndzielnia offers a quick 6-minute ride up and back, with stunning mountain views that make every moment unforgettable.

We had a plan to climb there from Bielsko-Biała. Finally we have taken ropeway and made 2h walk to Szyndzielnia, Klimczok etc. Nature was really beautiful there and from time to time spectacular views. Quite many people as it was weekend and summer.

I decided to go without any recommendation so it was a huge surprise for me how cool/nice that place is. You have activities for any age and there are signs for everything. It's perfectly possible to a non-polish speaker to enjoy this place since some of the workers can have the necessary english skill to sell tickets and give some basic directions if needed. I came in spring season and I highly recommend this place.

Shopping mall
Amusement park
Gemini Park Bielsko-Biała is a large shopping center with a wide range of branded shops and boutiques, as well as a food court and cinema. The mall also offers an underground parking lot with multiple levels for convenience. Adjacent to the mall is a city park that provides opportunities for leisurely strolls, picnics, and various activities for kids. Additionally, the park hosts cultural events throughout the year.
As an American, this mall is just mind blowing in terms of cleanliness and options. It’s amazing!

After having food you can watch a movie and enjoy your day. There is a huge underground parking lot with 3 levels. Outside the mall, there is an open park for kids with a variety of activities in it. Overall, this mall is a superb place to enjoy your time.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful historic church with wooden architecture. The interior is beautifully decorated and painted. There's plenty of parking space around the church. Surrounding the church are numerous chapels and an old cemetery. The main altar in the church is currently undergoing renovation, so I can't wait to see everything revealed. (Original) Piękne zabytkowy kościół w architekturze drewnianej. Wewnątrz pięknie zdobiony i malowany. Po całym kościołem można zostawić samochód miejsca jest sporo. Dookoła kościoła znajdują się liczne kapliczki oraz stary cmentarz. Główny ołtarz w kościele obecnie jest w trakcie renowacji także nie mogę się doczekać jak wszystko zostanie odsłonięte.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Bielsko-Biała, Qubus Hotel Bielsko-Biała offers a delightful blend of comfort and convenience for travelers. Just a short stroll from local attractions like Frog House and the Bielska Gallery, this hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the area. Guests can enjoy laid-back rooms equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, ensuring you stay connected during your visit.
Clean rooms. Very good breakfast with a good variety of quality food. Free parking. Only con is the constant noice from the road by illegally tuned imported cars. It’s like being on a racetrack. Ask for rooms to the opposite side.

So my partner booked for 7 days, we arrived at the hotel in the afternoon. When we entered the room, we immediately put our suitcases in and then we went out and walked around the mall. We went back to our room tired, we didn't pay attention to the whole room and we rested until the next day. We opened the curtain and there we saw that the room was full of dust, such as the cabinet, sofa, etc. The iron was broken, there was no safe box to keep valuable stuff and the carpeted floor you could hardly walk on because of the sticky stuff. My partner went down to the reception and informed the situation, we were immediately moved to another room, but when we entered, the room and bathroom smelled like it hadn't been cleaned and again we were given a room with a broken fridge and no iron. We stayed for 7 days. Qubus Hotel is a business class hotel. We noticed that their facilities were not in good condition, especially the cleanliness the management lack of emphty the wifi was also very weak, you always have to log in if you want to connect. The employees should probably have proper training, especially in cleanliness. At qubus hotel management, Please make sure your advertisement is correct because it reflects on your future business. For the price we paid, we were not satisfied with the hotel's service, but the location was good because it was connected to the mall, so at least we enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location if you want to be close to a shopping mall. It’s literally next to the hotel. You don’t even need to cross the road. The rooms are small but adequate. Room amenities we’ve very basic. In my opinion it’s quite expensive for what you get. The lady at the front desk was super efficient and checking in was a breeze. There is an empty bottle in the room for you to get water from the water fountain near the elevator. Breakfast was decent but most of the items a tourist may not be familiar with was not labeled so you have no idea what they are.

Clean; no weird odors. Breakfast plentiful- over 100 items to choose from with tables inside or on the balcony outside. Walking distance from main rail station with shops and malls next door. All in all a good experience. A mini fridge would be nice in the hotel room. There was an issue with the shower - suddenly hot then freezing cold- but it only occurred once during a two day stay.

A quick google search brought us here and how happy were we. Such a great restaurant, friendly staff, super food and a lovely location. Presentation was great, our burger was declared the best he’s had by our 5 year old, who demanded to bring the second unfinished half home with him! Happy faces all round from our group of seven, and will definitely be making a trip back when in Poland next year.

Анжелика П — Google review
Mixed feelings. 5 stars for desert ideas and inspirations. 5 stars for a vegan burger (but it’s not a burger place right? It’s a restaurant ). 3 stars for mushroom pasta ( tasteless).3 stars for the duck and boar. Nice food but does not have the wow factor at all. 3 stars for red wine selection. Really for those prices you can do much better. The junior waiter didn’t know anything about serving wine. Poured different wine to old glasses and didn’t offer a taster. Good decoration and atmosphere. I can’t see 4.8 Google rating there. I think based on this we expected much better. But there is a lot of potential so if willing to improve this restaurant has great future ahead of them.

A very elegant place, worth recommending in many respects. The most important thing is that the restaurant has been on the list of the 100 best restaurants in Poland for several years. In addition, the minimalist decor, elegant basement atmosphere and calm music are very soothing. Exquisite-looking dishes. The taste, although very good and the presentation at the highest level refined, gives rise to speculations. The overall impression of the dish, serving, service and atmosphere is at the highest level. Moreover, the place has a history of hosting such classy chefs as Okrasa, so the place undoubtedly impresses with its level. I recommend
Marek ( — Google review
The best duck breast I have ever had in my life. Phenomenal taste, the masterpiece of the world. Other dishes were also great and extremely tasty. The way it is served is also sensational. However, the problem of restaurants from the yellow guide is the fact that the atmosphere in the place is often too... dense? Formal? Just a bit "stiff". A nicely arranged room, a nice facility. It's difficult for me to understand how it's possible that a table covered with a table runner at lunchtime can be damaged. I mean the tabletop. If there is a piece of wood hooked and scratched, it should be repainted, reconstructed. Or cover the table with a tablecloth. And that's it. Nevertheless, the visit was extremely pleasant. The waiter service was very professional, expert and polite. No pompousness - and that's a big plus.

This was our 2nd time having the tasting menu/Menu degustacyjne and it was phenomenal. Each dish was selected with seasonal ingredients, prepared perfectly and presented beautifully.

Gorgeous dining experience and great service. Restaurant is also beautiful inside and in a gorgeous location. We look forward to eating here again.

Italian restaurant
Welcome to PAPPAGALLO, a delightful haven for Italian cuisine nestled in the heart of Bielsko-Biała. Located at Cechowa 12, this charming restaurant invites you on a culinary journey featuring authentic Roman pizza and freshly made pasta. Each dish is a celebration of flavor and aroma, beautifully blending tradition with modern flair.
Absolutely underrated, service was great and the pasta menu works well. Choose your pasta then choose your sauce, and after that have difficulty choosing a different Italian restaurant in the future
Darkminez — Google review
This was an incredibly disappointing experience. We looked at the reviews and had our hearts set on a nice Italian meal but... The food was mediocre at best. Not sure why but the lasagna had beshamel between the pasta sheets and tomato sauce on top. But that'd be ok if the taste had been good. It was not. I can't help but feel we could have found a better lasagna ready made in Biedronka. My husband had chicken escalopes - they were drained in lemon sauce, completely soggy. All in all it gets you fed, but leaves you full of regret too.
