Visit Poland: Białystok

Białystok is the capital and the biggest city of Podlaskie Voivodeship in Eastern Poland. The city has a remarkable textile history, but it is nowadays vanished, except this one factory building that got its revival as a shopping mall. 

On 21st of May 2015 we had a long guided walk around the city, met local politicians and managers, visited the new opera house and had a meeting with people from local citizens' organizations.
