Bydgoszcz is the capital of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie province, situated in central Poland, by two rivers - Brda and Vistula. The history of the city reaches back to the 14th century, when King Casimir the Great gave the city its foundation privileges. Today Bydgoszcz, with its population of nearly 360 thousand people, is an industrial, commercial, cultural, educational and sport centre of the province.
