City/town information
Żyrardów is my hometown. Ca. 30 mins by car from Warsaw. The town invites you to stroll through the charming nineteenth-century streets of the only post-industrial settlement in Europe that has been 95% preserved. Żyrardów, Poland’s former flax capital, delights visitors with the richness unexpected in such a small town of its industrial sites.
