About Stare Miasto w Olsztynie
Olsztyn’s old town structures the walk around the market and the old town hall. The façades, street approaches and compact scale let you experience a historic core that is distinct from the leisure areas that spread along the city’s lake shores.
The old town hall forms a reference point to observe the different sides of the square. The interest of the route lies in the urban layout and the relationship between public buildings and the surrounding houses, without needing to enter each building to understand the ensemble.
Walk the area with pauses to observe façades and approach axes to the market. Then choose a sector of Lake Ukiel for the other part of the day, considering transport. Between May and September the walk usually has more daylight hours; in cold months, split the route into shorter sections.
