City on the Mleczna river that draws art fans to the Jacek Malczewski Museum (after visiting his most striking works in Poznan and Warsaw). If you are interested in the Polish language and some of the literature (and poetry) that shaped it, then you can learn more about Jan Kochanowski here. You can also sit at a table with Leszek Kołakowski (or at least a monument to him), one of the inspirational figures leading to the fall of Communism.
