THE MAGIC OF POLISH CITIES

How about feeling the breeze in your hair as you look down on scenic views of city rooftops, mysterious streets with majestic towers of town halls or churches? In Polish cities, both large and small, you will find many such viewpoints, which can be a great starting point for exploring these cities. Moreover, some of them are Polish jewels in the UNESCO crown: the old towns of Warsaw, Krakow, Zamosc and Toruń.

Or maybe try to look at the architecture of Polish cities from the other side, for example from the river? For example, Warsaw, Krakow, Torun, Wroclaw or Gdańsk can be admired from the decks of cruise and pleasure ships. The ribbons of rivers that flow through the cities create a wonderful urban atmosphere, and along their banks you will find lively boulevards, beaches and promenades. A collection of photographs of cityscapes captured from city bridges can be an attractive souvenir.

The special and unique atmosphere of Polish cities can be found in certain areas. Due to their ancient history, cultural heritage, unique architecture (for example, post-industrial) or some other qualities, these areas are becoming fashionable among both locals and visitors to the city. Delicious cuisine in restaurants, street food in various forms - from street food stalls to food trucks and fresh food stalls, breakfast markets and food fairs with elements of local delicacies, sophisticated nightlife in clubs, pubs or theme bars, picturesque and mysterious streets , as well as preserved architectural gems “always” integrated into the landscape of the area - these are just some of the distinctive features that determine the tourist attraction of Warsaw Prague, Krakow Kazimierz and Katowice Nikiszowiec.

With such a variety of urban treasures and many tourist attractions in Polish cities, it is worth looking for interesting sources of inspiration. We suggest choosing an unusual guide - Titus Brzozowski, an artist and architect famous not only in Poland. In his watercolors and drawings, he tells unusual stories about magical cities filled with fantastic events. Here you can find pianos floating in the clouds, levitating apartment buildings or trams leaving the buildings. Dice are hidden among rooftops and chimneys, and people stroll between houses or fly in colorful hot air balloons. In the paintings you can find exact reproductions of existing buildings or those that were here many years ago, but today there is not a trace left of them! Some works are less, others are more real. All of them are interesting and intriguing, full of colors and details that are worth finding while walking around the city.
Traveling in the footsteps of the paintings painted by this artist is a great inspiration for visiting Polish cities.

See 13 Polish cities through the amazing graphics of Titus Brzozowski, who saw them, visited them and documented them, trying to capture the essence of their character. Let these colorful, charming paintings become a source of inspiration and a guide to the cities of Poland!

Warsaw is the main inspiration of Titus Brzozowski. He drew many of her different faces. Its graphics will allow you to discover the capital in a completely new way, learning its secrets one by one. Warsaw in the paintings of Titus Brzozowski is ambiguous and full of mysteries, this is also true in reality. And just like in reality, the largest city in Poland in watercolors is rich in places with a varied atmosphere: from the green quarters of villas, through the mysterious streets of the Old Town, to the streets of modern glass skyscrapers. Warsaw can be visited many times, but there is always something more to discover!

Krakow is one of the artist’s favorite cities, as well as many people who have visited the ancient royal city at least once. The watercolor by Titus Brzozowski is a collage of characteristic buildings of tourist Krakow. Here is the Old Town with the Sukiennice gallery, the Town Hall with the bell tower and the Church of St. Wojciech, and the foggy Wawel Hill can be seen in the distance. Here are buildings from the Krakow districts of Kazimierz and Podgorze, that is, those places that cannot be missed when visiting the city. You will be able to see the characteristic blue trams and the Dragon - the most famous of Krakow's inhabitants!

Wroclaw is a city that no one passes by indifferently! It is not without reason that the city is called one of the most beautiful in Poland. You can look for gnomes for hours - their sculptures can be found in every corner and, of course, in the painting of Titus Brzozowski! Among other things, the watercolor shows how characteristic the city is of the islands on the Oder River, connected by bridges, of which there are actually more than 100.

Katowice is another city where traces of the past harmonize very gracefully with the present. Titus Brzozowski's painting is one of the most magical in the series and shows how historical architecture interacts with the modern aspirations of the city. The artist presented here old Katowice with its history of mining, as well as elegant apartment buildings, St. Mary's Street and neo-Gothic churches. And at the top there is a green meadow with modern architecture. Here we can easily find not only the famous Spodek, but also other buildings, including the Silesian Museum.

Lodz is a city with an extraordinary history, filled to the brim with traces of the hard work of industrial workers, but also full of the dreams of its creators and first inhabitants. This is the Promised Land, where anything can happen! Titus Brzozowski's graphics reflect this magic. That's why impressive apartment buildings soar above the characteristic factories and churches. When in Lodz, you should definitely see the Palace of Israel Poznanski, depicted in the picture, not forgetting, of course, Piotrkowska Street.

Poznan with its flying houses is also captured in magical watercolors by Titus Brzozowski. The famous houses, which are a strong symbol of the city, instead of standing on the Old Market Square next to the town hall, float above other buildings and people lifted in balloons. Among the many characteristic buildings, impressive churches stand out, including Poland's oldest cathedral. Visiting Poznan will take you back to the roots of Polish history, but you won't stop at studying the Middle Ages, of course...

Arriving inGdańsk,GdyniaorSopotit is worth getting to know the wealth of all these cities that make up theTricity. They represent a single agglomeration, but have retained their individuality. In the painting by Titus Brzozowski they form a single whole - a collage of historical and modern buildings. Harbor cranes grew out of ordinary buildings in Gdynia. At first glance, you can see the famous pier and Monczak in Sopot, and the Yantar Stadium is adjacent to a fragment of the Gdansk shipyard. The vista is complemented by many famous buildings and monuments, including St. Mary's Basilica, the World War II Museum, Barn Island and more. There really is something to see in the Tricity!

InSzczecinthe central element of Titus Brzozowski's graphics is the huge embankment of the Wall of Brave. While in this port city, it is definitely not to be missed! This is not only an interesting urban layout, but also a great place for walking. In the picture it is accompanied by other characteristic buildings, including the Philharmonic Hall, which has repeatedly received awards at architectural competitions, and the tower of the Castle of the Pomeranian Princes. The port character of the city is evidenced by the historical cranes, which are jokingly called “cranes”. An important attraction of Szczecin included in the picture is the regatta.

Zamosc, surrounded by the green hills of Roztocza, is the “ideal city” of the Renaissance. Modeled after Padua in Italy, it is a gem of architecture and urban planning on a global scale. In the painting by Titus Brzozowski, colorful houses are hidden behind the mighty walls of the Renaissance fortress along with the famous town hall and churches, but in reality they are even more beautiful!

Lublin is a city with a magical atmosphere even in everyday life. The Carnival of Magicians that takes place here every summer couldn't find a better location. Except during festivals and fairs, it is perhaps less noisy, but certainly inspiring. In his work, Titus Brzozowski supplemented the current panorama of the city with characteristic gate towers with a parish church, dismantled in the 19th century. The city of inspiration attracts tourists with its history through museums, monuments, traditional tastes and legends hidden in the streets, alleys and walls of old houses...

Torun is a city of grandiose Gothic buildings made of red brick. The city of Copernicus is the perfect place for a walk through history. In the medieval city complex of Torun you will find a magnificent town hall, numerous churches and the house of Copernicus, where he was born. The painting by Titus Brzozowski also depicts a no longer existing object - an old wooden bridge over the Vistula, built in 1500. This was the second crossing of the Vistula, the first bridge was built in Krakow.

Bydgoszcz is a unique city. It's a combination of Amsterdam and Venice. The orderly architecture of Bydgoszcz is distinguished primarily by beautiful houses. The city impresses with a wealth of buildings in Art Nouveau, eclectic and neo-Baroque styles, and welcoming green areas. However, in Titus Brzozowski's painting it is primarily a city by the river, since Brda is Bydgoszcz's greatest treasure.

Przemysl is a beautiful city, the panorama of which can become a ready-made sketch for a painting! Or a frame for a photo that you just can’t help but like! And Titus Brzozowski took advantage of this in his work. The distinctive appearance is complemented by a number of tall towers. In the distance you can see the symbol of the city - a walking bear, which is also present in the city's coat of arms. We will meet him there many times - at the fountain or on the tower of the Museum of Bells and Pipes.
