Świecie, Administrative center in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland
Świecie stands at the confluence of the Vistula and Wda rivers, encompassing an area of 174.81 square kilometers at an elevation of 86 meters.
The settlement received town rights in 1198 and became a strategic point during medieval times due to its position along the Amber Road trading routes.
The town maintains connections with other municipalities through the Union of Vistula Towns, fostering exchanges and celebrations of regional traditions throughout the year.
Travelers can reach Świecie through national roads connecting to major cities, with the town located 218 kilometers from Warsaw and 107 kilometers from Gdansk.
The local population has grown from 13,500 in 1961 to over 33,000 residents today, marking substantial development after the establishment of sugar and paper industries.
