Thanks for watching! There is an issue with the comment section on RU-vid, and all of the first comments in the first 1 hour of this video have disappeared from the chat. Please comment below!! - Luke & Naomi

My wife is from a small village on the outskirts of Bielsko-Biała , and went to school there. Now living in Scotland when we go home we always have a day out in Bielsko-Biała. a hidden gem amongst many beautiful city's in Poland. great to see it getting recognised in your channel.

Wow!I appreciate your preference for authenticity and your great taste!I love this vlog👌💕👍👏

I love your style of exploring 😃👍

Thank you for showing us round the most beautiful parts of Poland ❤

You guys are awesome Hello from Texas. 🇺🇸👍🇵🇱✌️

Bielsko-Biala looks beautiful! It will only get better as more buildings get restored. I absolutely loved the building with the frogs. So unique! Btw, it looks like Studio Filmow Rysunkowych (the animation studio where famous cartoons, such as Bolek and Lolek and Reksio, were produced) is getting an interactive exhibit. I'm not sure whether that's open yet or not. Can't wait for the video from the mountains!

Thanks for visiting my home town! I'm happy you liked it so much. Bielsko-Biała used to be a very industrial city in the past and one of its nicknames (apart from "Little Vienna") was "Silesian Manchester" because of the abundance of textile factories there. I don't live in Bielsko-Biała anymore (moved into the countryside a few years ago) but I still love to pay it a visit once in a while and have a coffee at the old market square.

Zwiedzanie poblicznych gór polecam wyjazd kolejką gondolową (można dojechać autobusem numer 8) na Szyndzelnie, potem udać się szlakiem w strone Błatnia, następnie do Wapenicy przez Palenice (wczesnośredniowieczne miejse kultowe, trudne do znalezienie bo mocno zaniedbane). Z Wapienicy do centrum można wrócić autobusem numer 16

Go to Pszczyna. It's not far from Bielsko-Biała. :)

Yes, strawberries actually are ripe in may / june under cover in glasshouses, go and try, if they have green leaves, they smell and taste and are sold in these wooden bags, its pretty sure they are fresh and Polish ;) bielsko-biala is known of Polish children animation movies :)

Go to Kielce or Swietokrzyskie montain

Love it guys really cool video,and loads of info (some things I didn’t even know🤣)!! Sorry Naomi I’d have to go with Luke’s choice in zupolandia (minus the burnt mouth🤣) 👍

I was born in Bielsko Biala and I know all the streets and great Buildings also the hills Great town.

And also I would like to point it out that is not a competition who will present a place or food better!!! It's about how you guys present it as it is your channel and we all (well most of us 😉) watch it for You guys and your style and experiences 😘

Thank you for visiting and enjoying my home town :) The locals usually forget where they live, how beautiful is our city, how many architecture treasures they can find there. Of course in everyday rush we miss all these things but sometimes it is good stop and look around.

If you plan to go for Szyndzielnia with the gondolas make sure to hike a little further from the upper station to Klimczok summit with beautiful view into south. It is quite a short hike and you will not regret it. I would also recommend Góra Żar with a cute little train going all the way up to the summit. It is a central point for paragliding in the area so you would see a lot of that there. And the views are superb! Actually I'm from Gdańsk but I was in the area near you a month ago doing some exploration myself, and those places are my findings.

Piękne miasto byłem kilka razy

regarding Oshee, white is the standard flavor. "Pink", or rather purple, is an additional flavor related to the book/game/series The Witcher.

3 Maja = May 3rd.. The holiday celebrates the declaration of the Constitution of 3 May 1791.

Recommendations: in the nearby town of Żywiec (trains go there from B-B) there's a historic brewery of the Żywiec beer and the Habsburg's Castle, the city is surrounded by mountains, lies by a river and a lake, worth checking out if you have some free time. Definitely check out the gondola to Szyndzielnia or head to Szczyrk, where you can do the same, but to the tallest of the local mountains - Skrzyczne. Another lovely city nearby is Cieszyn, one of the oldest citites in Poland, likely predates the country, it has a place called Cieszyn's Venice, with little restaurants by water canals, a well where supposedly the legendary chieftains of Slavic tribes split their ways to found Poland, Czechia and Rus' and it's right on the Czech border and fairly close on the Czech side there's a reconstructed ancient slavic settlement. In the Katowice direction there's a town of Tychy, with their own historic brewery (Tyskie beer). Other: it's Barlitz'kyego street, the train station was built by the order of the austrian emperor, as a part of Vienna-Kraków railway, the food stands by the stations used to sell a classic commie fast food - hot dog buns filled with mushrooms, people loved them, we actually have more malls: there's also Gemini and post-commie Klimczok shopping centre, the dog statue was actually from another cartoon - Reksio, as there were many made by the Studio Filmów Rysunkowych, also, by the protestant church there's a statue of Martin Luther, some say the only one in Poland

I love this video and how much fun you guys are having there. So many gorgeous, unique places to see. I’d love to check this place out one day!

visit Cavatina Hall in Biała for the evening concert

Piękny film zrobiliście o mieście, w którym mieszkam, o Bielsku-Białej👍. Pozdrawiam 😀

We also have Gemini AND Sarni Stok shopping Malls. All the best and we hope to see you Again in Bielsko!!!

Serdecznie Was pozdrawiam z mojego rodzinnego miasta, pięknego i historycznego!♥️⚘

This is the closest bigger city to my village of Istebna, apart from a beautiful Cieszyn, which half of it belongs to Poland and the other one to the Czech Republic. Bielsko-Biała used to be called a little Viena of Beskid mountains.

This cucumber is not a pickle, it differs, it's called "ogórek kiszony"-soured cucumber, not gherkin, cucumber. The water from it, kind of a brine, but not brine exactly cuz there's no vinegar in it is the best cure for hangover, seriously, no kidding. Try it after a proper party, you'll be surprised as heck.

Thanx for showing this pretty city i born there so many memmories

Thank you for your job! Stay healthy

Awesome Have fun !

I'm delighted with your polish accent. If you like the urban architecture of tenement houses, you must visit Poznań, especially the Jeżyce district and Łazarz. I'll be there for a week from tomorrow. If you show up, I'd be happy to be your guide :) All the best

Thank you for taking your time to get the historical narrative of the place on top of a great footage and everyday observations. Good job!

My wife from bielsko biala and I have there many times. Absolutely beautiful city

Super Video Not many people make video about Bielsko Biala...or less popular cities/vilages but thank you for doing this.

my mum grew up in Poland and the kiosks were around her city already in the 1960s

❤❤❤ I cannot tell you how much we have enjoyed watching this vlog ♥️ I am very happy you guys enjoyed your time in Bielsko and you also went to Danny's favourite restaurant Zupolandia. 😀 These street food stalls just outside of the train station they actually really old but I am not sure how old, I remember going there with my granny and she would always buy me a bread filled with fried mushrooms and ketchup 😋 (I had weird taste of food as child lol). What an experience with the check in WOW !!! Next time just text me guys if you need anything 😉. Oh and by the way Danny also enjoys hot dogs from Zabka 🤪 Great stuff 👍 we watch this vlog with a massive smile all the way through !!!! LOVE IT ❤️

Another great video ❤️

Building you stayed in is so beautiful 😍

A very good dish is "Rolada, -gummiklöße, -modro kapusta"

WOW - The Train Station is Amazinggggg!!!

Thank you so much Guys ( 21:04) 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you very much for promoting my country, I have never been to Bielsko-Biała, now I will definitely choose, best regards ...

Thank you so much ..we watched this video review last night and today we went to zupelandia restaurant..and as you said..the food was amazing, location easy to find and prices very pocket friendly 😀 👍. Went to the mall too,shopping and ice-cream.

great video Naomi and Luke, you are really Great, my like. greetings from Argentina

Great video!

That shopping mail...I need to go. 👍😊

I recommend visiting the city of Pszczyna and its surroundings. There is a castle, park and much more there, and the area itself is worth visiting

Polecam zwiedzić najstarsze miasto w Polsce czyli Kalisz w województwie Wielkopolskim , w którym mamy stary i nowy rynek ,szlak bursztynowy i wiele innych zabytków !!!

Would like to see your accommodations where you stay in each city. For some reason I just like to see what the rooms look like 😀 Btw I like seeing the nature walks! It’s beautiful out there!

About churches, in Katowice is one very beautiful basilica, name of it is Bazylika św. Ludwika Króla i Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny (Basilica of St. King Louis and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) and it's in Panewniki district. If you will be again in Poland in christmas time, I recommend go there and see Europe's largest altar nativity scene built inside a temple, I'm not christian, but even for me it's something amazing. There are also some small narivity scenes from different countries, even from african countries, and also living nativity scene, that means some animals. This basilica have also big green calvary, beautiful place. :)

Well made video with interesting information. 😊

Kotlet Mielone is like a German Frikadelle but the Poles do coat it whit breadrumbs before they fry it

Obok dworca głównego pokazane budki z jedzeniem istnieją ponad 30 lat i tam jest najlepsza bułka z pieczarkami w mieście :)

Rada Miejska = City Hall....

I love your video ❤️ I am from BB but currently live in UK.So many good memories made in BB .You did show my city beautifully. Thank you guys 😊

Pozdrawiam z B-B. Cieszę się że podobało się Wam nasze miasto.

GREAT video!

Wow. Bielsko - Biała is not even for Poles the obvious destination to visit! Cool guys!

Try kotlety mielone next time. They are something between meat balls and hamburgers. Juicy, soft, for me much better than schabowe.

Nice Video !!

Bielsko-Biała it's one of the largest cities in Poland no. 20 I think. You visited maybe 3% of the city and you did not mention that Bielsko-Biała is located in very beautiful mountains, I recommend you to visit, you can get there by cable car. Also visit Międzybrodzie Bialskie and Żywieckie, its there a huge lake located Surrounded of the mountains, a picturesque area in the mountains, right next to Bielsko-Biała

super

In this food stand behind u they serve my favourite street food ever which is “bułka z pieczarkami”, hot dog bap filled with spiced fried mushrooms. I haven’t seen it anywhere else which makes it uniquely considered with my beloved hometown ❤️

amazing!

You should give Wisła a try, it is nearby. The name of the town is the same as the largest river in Poland, which has its source there.

I remember those food kiosks/stands from the early 80's. One used to sell kinda hot dogs but with sauted mushrooms instead of frankfurters. Another one was selling cone ice creams and jam doughnuts. I suppose they were there since the early 70's. At least 2 of them. Bielsko used to be a part of Austria. Austrian enclave, hence the architecture and its nickname Little Vienna. Old name: Bielitz.

Nice place

Go to Skrzyczne mount top with help of a chair line that will take you up there the view from the top is stunning. Skrzyczne is not far away from Bielsko Biala. You should take a bus to Szczyrk. Besides there are 3 big skijumps.

Love the way you pronounced Biedronka... beer drunker 😎. How ironic is the fact that two foreigners convinced a Polish guy to visit Bielsko Biała 😉

Luke Polish people will respect you for taking the hat off when you eat...good job.

when you are in Silesia try Silesia roulade dinner Silesian dumplings and red cabbage and rosuł

Come on :) I started watching you recently and here came the episode from Bielsko :) And I'm from this beautiful city :) Regards and watching more :)

We ❤ BB

Thanks for great videos showing Poland from a foreigner's point of view. If you need more inspirations, I recommend you to go to the north next time - to cities related to M. Kopernik (Nicolaus Copernicus) - Toruń and Olsztyn, as well as Giżycko, the vacation capital of Mazury Lake District. In the first weekend of August every year (6-7.08 this year) there is an air show over the lake in Giżycko. You could also take a cruise on a small tourist ship which is a great adventure, as well as some of the restaurants near the main beach.

I love Bielsko Biala. We where there in june. My neighbour woman comes from there and is born in Bielsko. In November 2021 I was there for the first time. I was immediality in love with this city. 26 October I will go there for a few days. We sleeping at the house of the parents. In 2024 I will go to live there and enjoy my life after a workfull life.

👍👍👍

Babia góra, or some interesting trail and on the way "Schronisko Górskie PTTK "Rysianka" for example :)

yes is the town's hall and those two flags, one is the flag of the city and the other is the flag of the province (voivodeship) of Silesia.🔆

❤❤

According to the stair case, the balustrade (railings) is made of cast or forged iron, it's not steel. I think according to its look, it's a peak of industrial revolution period, mid or late 1800's.

Hello guys, speaking of north north of Poland, i recommended visit old town in Toruń city (Unesco since 2007), next recommendation: Malbork castle - the largest castle in the world measured by land area (Unesco). Then visit Gdynia Gdansk Sopot (Tri-city), beautiful cities. Other places hmm i recommended also Auschwitz-Birkenau museum in Oswiecim near Cracow, it's sad experience because concentration camp etc., but definitely worth to visit at least once in your life. In Silesia, castle Książ is worth to visit too. Enjoy your trip in Poland guys :)

🍻🍀🤣 I just start to watching U today..., and as well I just back from my lovely home city Bielsko - Biała to Dublin. Greetings from Ireland. Great vlogs 🇮🇪🍀 🇵🇱🍻

im from western Poland, but you ask about places who we like an they are dont in foreginers "menu". In my mind, the most lovely place like this is : Zamość city! this place is stunning (for me) its sad you where so close and dont visit Zamość, but you mention about to visit maybe Kazimierz Dolny in Olsztn video, so you gona be close again. If you chave a chance i believe i worth to visit place too. I know many smaller places to visit but ont know you goa lke it, but zamos is defeniteli worth to show by you eyes. Cheers

River Biała is still the border of Lesser Poland and Silesia, Polish voivodship are not the historical/cultural regions which Silesia and Lesser Poland are. 'Silesian Voivodship' is just a name of administrative region and it combines of parts of two historical regions, Silesia and Lesser Poland just like former city of Bielsko in Silesia and former city of Biała Krakowska in Lesser Poland, now both as one silesian-lesserpolish city of Bielsko-Biała

Hi, i glad you visit Poland and show people less popular tourist destination. If you have more time I recommend visit Pszczyna. It's a small town but very nice. It's call a "Pearl of Silesia". You can see here a historic old town, palace and English-style park. Very popular is "Pokazowa Zagroda Żubrów", when you can see European bison. I very like your video, so I subscribed and going to watch your older videos.

If you like places not touristy I do recommend north east of Poland like city Suwalki Bialystok Olsztyn Zamosc. Lublin places that foreign tourists don’t go much ! All the best

go to mountain

18:00 Polish gulasz is nothing like Hungarian Gulyas, lol. I don't know how that happened. I think it was popularized during Austro-Hungarian administration, but somehow they confused the dish names.

Pozdrawiam i dziękuję. Nie można przestać podróżować z Wami, kiedy się już raz zacznie.

They are as small as Rybnik, visit Rybnik then :D It is on your way, Pszczyna, Żory, Rybnik, Gliwice, Katowice, Warszawa the rest of the world :D

🇵🇱♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Strawberry season in Poland is June :)

If you like Bielsko - Biała you also should see Kielce and places nerby. Places where history and nature mix together. If you want I will write (or show) you about Kielce and świętokrzyskie voivodship.
