Market Square in Wisła

The market square in Wisła is in fact Plac Bogumiła Hoffa — the town's central square, shaped in the interwar period, when Wisła was becoming a fashionable mountain resort in the Silesian Beskids. The arcaded frontage was built in the 1930s, and the eastern side was taken over by the Dom Zdrojowy spa house. Today, together with the promenade along 1 Maja street, it forms the resort's main walking space.

What to see on the square

Inside the Dom Zdrojowy stands a chocolate sculpture of Adam Małysz, and the southern frontage is closed by the Evangelical church of the Apostles Peter and Paul. The Beskid Museum operates nearby. On the square a fountain hums, craft stalls spread out beside it, and the Alley of Sports Stars runs through, presenting athletes connected with Wisła.

Views and surroundings

The ski jumping hills are visible from the square, and next to it stretches Park Kopczyński with a modernised amphitheatre, where the Week of Beskid Culture takes place every August. On foot you can reach the Vistula river itself, which begins on the slopes of Barania Góra (1,220 m), the highest peak within the town limits.

In practice

The square is open all year round and free of charge. Parking is located between the square and Kolejowa street, with cafés and restaurants all around.
