Nowy Sącz, Administrative center in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Located at the confluence of Kamienica and Dunajec rivers, Nowy Sącz sits in a fertile valley surrounded by the eastern Outer Western Carpathian Mountains.

King Wenceslaus II established Nowy Sącz in 1292, granting it Magdeburg rights and making it the only Polish town founded by a Bohemian monarch.

The Regional Museum in Nowy Sącz presents extensive collections of artifacts, documents, and artworks that showcase the area's historical development through centuries.

The city maintains an efficient public transportation system that connects all major districts, with regular bus services operating from early morning until late evening.
