2009 saw Gamcheon turn from an area of budget housing for refugees of the Korean War into a premier tourist attraction, all thanks to a collective effort by local students and artists, who transformed the neighbourhood with colourful wall painting and street art. Today Gamcheon even has a tourist office of its own: stop by on your way in to pick up a detailed map of the village's attractions; collect a stamp at each and you'll receive a small prize from the tourist office on submission. There is a small museum telling the neighbourhood's story, and a number of shops, cafes and street food stalls. When wandering the maze of Gamcheon's streets, please respect the privacy of family homes.

The Old Bydgoszcz Canal is an impressive engineering work from the late eighteenth century. An important commercial route in the past, it spreads for around 25 km and connects the Vistula and Oder rivers. The boulevard alongside the canal is a favourite among locals for afternoon walks with a beautiful scenery.

The Opera Nova is a modern music theatre located on the picturesque river bank near the city centre. This unique, large building will truly catch your eye. Come here for ballets, musicals, concerts, and of course operas.
