URBAN TOURIST TRAIL IN NYSA
The Urban Tourist Trail is an interesting tourist product designed to encourage visitors to explore Nysa. The trail is 13 km long and forms a loop, starting and ending at St Hedwig's Bastion. The route passes through the most important and interesting points of the city. The trail is marked with yellow and red diamonds. Following the trail, you will visit, among others, religious monuments (Basilica of St James and St Agnes, Church of St Elizabeth of Hungary with its monastery library, Church of St Dominic), the City Hall with its 78-metre-high tower (including the spire), which is an excellent vantage point for the entire city, the Post Office building, the Treasury, Municipal Weigh House, Wrocław and Ziębice Towers, the Beautiful Well, the Commandant's House, the Bishop's Manor, the Bishop's Palace, Carolinum, the Triton Fountain, the water tower, monuments, as well as the Nysa fortifications located on the outskirts of the city (Fort II, Fort Prussia, Water Fort, High Embankments).
To make it easier to get around the city, a guidebook, maps, and a city mobile app have been released. Another interesting feature is the tourist passport, which contains brief information about the sites, along with photographs and space for stamps representing the sites visited. Importantly, you can visit the sites at any time without restrictions. Once you have collected all the stamps (there are 31), you can get a commemorative tourist badge. Tourist passports are validated at the Tourist Information Desk in St Hedwig's Bastion. This is a great way to encourage people, especially children, to explore the city. This is a unique offer for tourists, as it provides a modern sightseeing experience using a smartphone. Information boards with a QR code have been placed at the most important monuments, after scanning which you can hear the history of the visited place. The electronic route leads, for the time being, through 10 monuments in the city centre.
