Would you like to go back in time and stroll through the streets of a charming border town? Or maybe admire the unusual atmosphere of a multicultural borderland? No problem, just go to Włodawa, a city of three cultures.

This town on the Bug River is located in a picturesque corner on the edge of eastern Poland, right next to the meeting point of the borders of three countries: Poland, Ukraine and Belarus. Włodawa is one of the oldest settlements in the middle Bug valley, which has been a melting pot of cultures and religions for centuries. Three religions coexisted here: Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Judaism, and the numerous monuments are a wonderful testimony to the multicultural past of the city.

An undoubted advantage of Włodawa is the fascinating surrounding nature and the magic of the Polesie landscapes. Lakes, rivers, vast meadows, marshes, peat bogs and forests are a perfect place to relax for people who value peace and contact with nature.

When in Włodawa, it is worth taking part in local events. The multiculturalism of the city is commemorated and cultivated by the Three Cultures Festival. In turn, thanks to the International Polesie Folklore Summer, Włodawa turns into the world capital of folklore for a few days a year. On the other hand, the idea of ​​the Natural Arts Festival "Zew Natury" is not only good fun, unspoiled commercial music and contact with nature, but above all, connecting people through music and positive energy. Another extremely exciting event is the Wrak Race - murderous car races.
