About Białowieski Park Narodowy
Białowieża National Park protects part of the forest of the same name on the Polish side.
Visitor sectors have different rules and some routes require authorized accompaniment. The European bison is a local conservation focus, but seeing free-ranging animals depends on conditions. Demonstration enclosures and forest walks are distinct experiences.
Choose the circuit on the official website and book in advance when a guide is required. Access from Białystok requires a full day of transport and visiting, or an overnight stay near the forest. Follow only the authorized routes and check the meeting point, as the park does not have a single entrance for all programs.
