Radom

Radom is a large city in the Masovian Voivodeship, located in central Poland and connected by several main roads to other regions. The city divides into multiple districts with parks, residential neighborhoods, and a historic core crossed by pedestrian streets.

The city received its town rights in 1364 under the rule of the Piast dynasty and grew into an important trade hub in medieval Poland. In later centuries, shifting political influences and wars shaped the growth and form of the settlement.

The name comes from a Slavic word for a small river and recalls early settlements along the water. Today, brick churches with tall spires and wide market squares shape the townscape, where locals meet in the open air.

The central train station sits within walking distance of the historic core and connects travelers regularly to the capital and other Polish cities. Most points of interest can be reached on foot or by local buses, which run through the different city districts.

The local airfield hosts a large air show every two years, where visitors can see military aircraft and civilian planes up close. Pilots from several European countries take part in the demonstrations and display their machines on the ground and in flight.
