The 11 best castles in and around Bialystok

Nice park to walk around

It is a magnificent building with beautiful places around it.

It was okay, palace needs renovation and care. The grass and the small pond needs cleaning. Glass bottles are seen and there is a mess. Staircase are falling apart and the red and white tree pots are ugly. Apart from that, lovely to go for a walk.

Beautiful palace that was remade into medical University. There is a museum on site with a guide that will explain history of this amazing place. You can wall the ground for free and visit the garden and the parks surrounding University buildings.

Beautiful palace, the Versailles of Poland. During the tour, you are told the story of the palace. The nobility who owned it and built it to its destruction during World War 2. How it then was converted into the leading medical university in Poland. Definitely recommend a walk around its park.

Beautiful place! Especially in summer ☀️

We came for guided tour, which is only in polish, as a tourist you get a audio guide (player). But need to walk with the group, where main guide speaks in polish and you kind of should listen to your audio guide. Pour experience. The palace itself is beautiful and worth to see, but tickets and guide is waste of money and time

Great park with a free zoo inside it. A cemetery at the far end with many graves from 1920 struggle and occupation during the second world war. It's definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful and very big park. Lot of walkways. Lot of benches to sit and relax. Small ponds 💦 are there with ducks 🦆 swimming. Lot of birds 🦅 chirping. Water fountain ⛲️ are there, however it’s not functional. Squirrel 🐿️ are playing everywhere without fear. Very nice and calm place to relax.

Cool fountains, lots of little ice cream kiosks, and social place

It's a wonderfully looking place, with beautiful gardens and a fountain arrangement. It looks even more beautiful during the night when there are coloured lights highlighting the water. The arrangement of the park is in a perfect french topiary style, it's quite open and it has a copious amount of benches.

Nice park, almost next our (Aristo) hotel.

It's a beautiful park

Great park for kids with lots of playing areas for all ages. It would be better if there were public restrooms

As part of the English division professors should have a decent proficiency of the language. The lectures have embarrassing spelling mistakes everywhere and have poor English which is not expected of a medical university running a course in English and charging a staggering 11,000 EUROS yearly. Class size in anatomy department are massive. Too many people to be able to see the specimens. Specimens that med students learn from are degraded beyond any level of usefulness which is unacceptable since the university is heavily funded by the millions of EUROS paid each year by the 500 + students in English Division. I have seen better facilities and resources in public universities that don’t charge one-fourth of what UMB charges.

As a student, I feel compelled to speak out about the appalling conditions and inhumane treatment at this university. The facilities are nothing short of horrendous — outdated, broken, and completely unfit for the demands of modern education, let alone for students training to enter a life-or-death profession like medicine. We are consistently failed on every level. Basic resources are either inaccessible or nonexistent. Classrooms are overcrowded, lab equipment is malfunctioning or insufficient, and any requests for support are met with indifference or outright dismissal. It’s as if we’re being set up to fail. But worse than the physical conditions is how we’re treated: like burdens, not people. The administration’s attitude toward students borders on contempt. There’s no respect, no empathy, no sense that they are here to educate or support us. We are spoken to as if we are subhuman — expected to give everything while receiving nothing in return. We pay thousands to be here. We sacrifice our health, time, and mental well-being, and in return we are met with disorganization, neglect, and hostility. This is not education. This is exploitation. To incoming students: think twice. To the administration: you are accountable for this. And if no one else will say it, we will.

All they care about is your money, not providing quality education and training. Not recommended if you’re looking for a decent level of medical education and training.

If you an IB graduate don’t even bother to apply to MUB. They don’t respect the deadlines, they will close the application before you’ll get your IB exams results. They operate on first come first serve basis.

Beautiful university. Must visit once

POLAND PARTY UNIVERSITY

Syper

Very interesting architecture. The church was closed when I visited so I only walked around the perimeter of the church. If you're driving by or in the area it's worth the time to stop by and visit this place.

Couldn't go in due to the reading of the Divine liturgy (9am Fri) but it's a very impressive cathedral from the outside.

Big Orthodox Church, allegedly the largest in Poland. Highly recommended for a visit.

I mean.. it's an Orthodox Church. It's relatively new with beautiful interior, so I guess 5 stars gonna be ok. ;) Not much parking spots, so if there's gonna be wedding ceremony while you get there, You probably will have to use another parking few meters further.

Extremely rude priest and the church itself closed every day, while the priest sitting in the office. He does not allow visitors come in. It's open on weekends only.

splendid example of new orthodox church architecture. Vast space with rich ornaments inside and one of the highest view points on the city from a top of the bell tower.

Very beautiful place. Recommend to visit not only if religious.

Nice spot, worth a visit. It's part of the palace grounds.

All people are very kind, atmosphere is cosy and magnificent 🤩 Love this place 💕 If you are interested in art you will love it too!

A very interesting exposition, with English language available

The best centre for contemporary art!

Nice

(Translated by Google) Friendly service, and the opportunity to do something besides looking at art :) (Original) Miła obsługa, oraz możliwość zrobienia czegoś oprócz oglądania sztuki :)

(Translated by Google) I honestly don't recommend it. The leaflets don't explain what the exhibition is about. The gentleman at the reception/security desk is very rude and rude – he gets upset that someone is interrupting his film. He should be more respectful towards visitors. (Original) Szczerze nie polecam. Z ulotek nie wiadomo o co chodzi w wystawie. Pan na recepcji/ochronie bardzo niemiły i ordynarny - denerwuje się, że ktoś mu film oglądać przeszkadza. Wypadałoby mu zwrócić uwagę na większy szacunek do odwiedzających.

Very beautiful place The park was an incredibly beautiful and peaceful place, filled with lush green trees that whispered in the breeze, colorful flowers blooming in perfect harmony, well-kept walking paths that invited long, relaxing strolls, and cozy benches tucked under the shade where families and friends gathered, making it not only a feast for the eyes but also a comforting retreat from the noise of the world—a place where everything felt just right.

Nice place to relax when not busy however it may be a burden on busier days

Amazing university garden and park, free entry to the grounds.

A nice park with a decorative garden and a large pond. The birds are well mannered when fed.

Very beautiful place with his garden, pools and fountains

Magnificent building

Very well maintained palace garden, free entrance.

(Translated by Google) When visiting the Branicki Palace, it is worth seeing this teddy bear from the Białystok WidziMisie trail. This is Miś Hetman. At another entrance to the palace gardens stands Hetman's Teddy Bear. (Original) Warto przy okazji zwiedzania Pałacu Branickich zobaczyć tego misia ze szlaku Białystok WidziMisie. To Miś Hetman. Przy innym wejściu do pałacowych ogrodów stoi Miś Hetmanowa.

(Translated by Google) One of Białystok's ghost bears. It's easy to find (Original) Jeden z białostockich misiów-widzimisiów. Łatwo go znaleźć

(Translated by Google) Cudny WidziMiś Kupidyn. I am simply enchanted. Every time I visit a city I look for such attractions. For me, they are a determinant of the search for attractions of a given place, and so it is here in Białystok. Look for the nice Miśki, this one is near the center, the wedding palace. (Original) Cudny WidziMiś Kupidyn. Wprost jestem oczarowana. Za każdym razem gdy odwiedzam miasta szukam takich właśnie atrakcji. Są one dla mnie wyznacznikiem poszukiwań atrakcji danego miejsca, tak też jest tutaj w Białymstoku. Szukajcie sympatycznych Miśków, ten jest nieopodal centrum, pałac ślubów.
