Zielona Góra, Administrative center in western Poland
Zielona Góra is an administrative center in western Poland that spreads across hilly terrain with parks and wooded areas. The downtown clusters around wide avenues and a central market square, from which streets lead into residential neighborhoods and green zones.
The settlement gained town rights in 1323 and belonged to German territory until 1945. After World War Two it became part of Polish administration and grew into the seat of Lubusz Voivodeship.
The name refers to the green hill that once defined the area and remains visible in today's layout. Wine harvest traditions continue through local festivals where residents dress in period costumes and parade through the streets.
The center can be explored on foot, while a bus network connects outer districts. Many paths run through parks and along green spaces, suitable for walking.
At the height of winemaking, several thousand vines stood on slopes around the town. Today a few vineyards and an annual wine festival recall that long tradition.
