Białystok

City near the border with Belarus and home to Branicki Palace which is considered the "Versailles of Podlaskie,". The palace was originally built in the 17th century by the Branicki family, a powerful dynasty in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Today, the palace houses a museum showcasing the family's collection of art, furniture, and other historical artifacts. Other sights in the town include the History Museum, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, Mickiewicz Park, the Arsenal (arts centre) and the Museum of Medicine. After all that why not go for a stroll down Piastowska Street and grab a bison grass vodka.
