The Alternative Map of Opole is a project developed for the local community wanting to get to know their city better, students, who take their first steps here and do not know where to go, as well as for tourists wanting to sink into the specificity of the location to which they arrived. Opole, mainly associated with the National Festival of the Polish Song, has many more attractions to offer. It is a city with a very interesting history and a multi-cultural origin, currently during intensive changes, which are also reflected on the map. The idea behind the Alternative Map of Opole was to show the unique character and encourage the recipients of the map to know the city from a different perspective. It is worth to note that, although it is different in some aspects than traditional, the map was prepared in order to act as a city guide in an apprehensible and clear manner. It is an alternative map, but also it is versatile. The Alternative Map of Opole includes 69 subjectively selected and described locations. Largely, it was the citizens of Opole who contributed to select them by submitting propos-als of subsequent locations. The fact that the map was developed with the help of the local community makes it creible and unique.

The Venice of Opole – charming tenement houses constructed on the foundations of defensive walls over the Młynówka Chan-nel, formerly an important trans-shipment port, irresistibly lead to associations with the famous Italian city.

happy. Constantly and eternally.” Andrea, 26, Berlin

“Industrial: a place in which it is possible to depart from the world - east railway station, near the University of Opole campus, best at

night, even better if you have a cold, because passage via stairs is not nice in terms of the

smell, but it is worth it ;)” Kasia, 24, Opole

“You can dream about a city in which there is a lot go-ing on, but that is not too big. Where, after a year, the number of new cafeterias, galleries and libraries exceeds the number of new banks. Where you come back to take in positive energy and eat the best ice cream on the planet. You can dream of such a city. Or you can come to Opole.”

Natalia,25 lat, Opole
