With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Czestochowa, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Czestochowa Museum of Iron Ore Mining, Chapel of Our Lady and Częstochowa Museum. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Lodz, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Manufaktura. (But we’re also huge fans of Manhattan Gallery and Młynek Park.)
