Giżycko is the best place to fulfil dreams, find yourself, and fill the sails for another challenges. It is a unique place. Giżycko is a piece of land surrounded from each side with water, crossed with three channels, and placed on the shores of Kisajno and Niegocin Lakes. Here you will find the best conditions for sailing, fly in ice boat, or surf on frozen lake surface.

 

Giżycko is described (rightly) by many as Waterside Capital of Poland that attracts with its natural conditions and interesting events that provide positive energy and emotions. Surrounding terrains are the perfect place for active tourism. When visiting, it is also worth to see the unique in the scale of country and world 19th century Boyen Fortress built on so-called Giżycka Island that has exceptional historical value and high tourism qualities.

 

In our city you can breathe freely and not only because that the city has a great potential and many possibilities for development and self-fulfilment. Simply put, we have the air of highest quality. Here you can breathe for real because Masurian air is unique. Exceptionally clean.

 

Also interesting is the fact that Giżycko is a sunny city. Rain in our city rains much less often than at our neighbours. Some say that it is a merit of lakes, which by evaporating create a specific microclimate. Other convince that it is a merit of residents, who welcome tourists in such hospitable and open manner. Possibly both merits are relevant...

 

Here is also located one of the biggest garrisons in Poland, one of seven Olympic Training Centres, and here live the most creative people in the world! Our pride, of course, are sailors, World Champions,Janek Małecki, Julia Szmit, and many other young and talented sportsmen, who develop their skills under invaluable support of their parents and under the eye of brilliant trainers from Giżycko.

 

We are sure that we live in a wonderful place. Thus, we invite you to visit Giżycko, meet exceptional people and unique qualities of city placed in the heart of Great Lake District considered to be the most beautiful region in Europe and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The Mayor of Giżycko
