After about 45 minutes ogling all the cerarmics at
ANDY we headed into the center of Bolesławiec, about 10km and 15 minutes driving. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it seemed like a well-kept city with some sharp looking buildings as we approached.
(Leaving the ANDY parking lot)
We navigated into the center where parking spots were at a premium. Found one a couple of blocks off the Rynek. They have the same kind of parking meter and ticket system that we use here in CDMX. Took me about 3 minutes to notice the obvious in retrospect button allowing you to switch languages. Once I got there it was easy to buy 90 minutes of time for like 6zł. We left the car in a little area that felt like a movie set.
We did not have too much time to explore, but what we saw in doing an extended lap of the center was enticing. Like a smaller version of Poznan. We walked past some boutiques and a variety of restaurants on the way into the main square. Definitely enough to keep you entertained for an overnight stay on the way to Dresden or Prague, for example.
Then as you arrive in the very center the similarity to Poznan - and probably any number of other smaller cities with the same set up radiating out from a central Rynek - was pronounced. Cafes and restaurants with the outdoor seating so you can enjoy the atmosphere on days with better weather. Bit of an architectural focal point with the fountains (actually, kind of like Gdansk, minus the lions).
Lovely stop. Glad we passed through. Including the late lunch / early dinner we grabbed at
Good Burger (more next post, but tldr, we liked it a lot).
