Augustów is not a big city with a beautiful lake in Podlaskie Voivodeship. It is an ideal place for spending weekend. Beautiful views, water, a secluded as well as crowded places. You can find there water skiing, go-carts and gondola cruises. It is a place visited by many people from different cities in Poland and another countries. I suggest to book hotels few days earlier, because 'in the last moment' it's practically impossible. During my short stay in Augustow I visited a few restaurants. If it's about "Albatros", as the waitress said 'firstly served is the client who is shouting the loudest'. "Ogrodek pod jabloniami'- you can find there also a place to sleep. There are many people, the room is darkened, there are also places to sit and eat outside. Contrary to this position, a few steps further, there is a restaurant in light colours, though there is not many tables inside and the seats are uncomfortable. The food is anyway good in all this :)

I have visited Augustów twice so far. This year in May the weather was pretty nice. Last year I was amazed bt the views even though I had come back from the sea 2 days back. I recommend you this place to visit for a few days. For a longer time, it will get bored. ;)
