Cieszyn Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Cieszyn

Cieszyn historically straddled the River Olza but for over a century has been partitioned by the border. This region was under Hapsburg / Austrian rule until the end of the First World War, when Poland regained independence and the river became the border with Czechoslovakia. The two sides were forcibly re-united under Nazi occupation, but after the Second World War the border was restored. The Schengen Agreement has made this an open border, facilitating trade and transport with what is now the Czech Republic.
