The whole of Poland is a touristic country,
so it is hard to show you every interesting
thing and place here. From the blue Baltic
Sea in the north to the highest mountains
in the South, we have many interesting
places with relics and museums. From the
northern cities like Gdańsk and Gdynia,
through the central Warsaw to the
southern Krakow and Zakopane. I must
also mention our 23 National Parks.

Limanowa - Culture
In Limanowa we take care of our traditions and culture which are
mostly connected with our religion. The most important celebrations
are for example:
Christmas, Easter and Dożynki (a day when we thank God for good
crops).
With all our hearts we adore the Mother of God. A really important
time for us is the first Daturday of a month when many of us go to the
market square to pray to our Mother. We call it ‘Różaniec Fatimski’.
Limanowa - Culture
We celebrate Dni Limanowej (Days of Limanowa). There is always some good
music, many competitions. Everyone can find something to enjoy there.
Limanowa - Culture
Our folk are connected with the mountains. We have
some regional bands like: ‘Spod Kicek’ and
‘Limanowianie’. These are bands where they sing and
dance our regional songs and dances in traditional
suits.
