Bolesławiec
Pottery-making has defined Bolesławiec since the medieval period, and this Lower Silesian town on the Bóbr River remains a working ceramic centre today, with galleries and workshops spread through a walkable Old Town full of cafés and historic churches. The nearby Castle Kliczkow, now restored, is open to visitors. The wider region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the surrounding Lower Silesian forests add a natural backdrop to the town.
