Olsztyn, viewed from above, is very photogenic. I really liked the vast old town, colorful tenement houses with brick tiles, historic churches and a gothic castle. Moreover, 16 lakes, the Łyna River flowing through the city center, parks and a large amount of greenery made a big impression on me. I couldn't stop flying the drone and admiring! The photos were taken during a summer weekend in the capital of Warmia and Mazury. The pictures show the city from sunrise to late evening. I invite you to watch Olsztyn on my photos from the drone.

Olsztyn is surrounded by lakes. You can easily find a place where you can relax by the water in the city or just outside its borders. The photo shows the beach and the Recreation and Sports Center at Lake Ukiel. It is very close to the center, so in high season it may be difficult to find a place on the beach and in the parking lot.
