Where to stay in Radom
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Picking a room in Radom starts with the centre. The streets around the Radom Cathedral and the old market keep the museums, the shops, and the churches within a walk, and staying in the centre suits anyone here for the town. The main square quiets after dark.
Rooms gather along the central avenues. Out toward the ring roads, the newer districts spread into wider, plainer streets. A room on the edge trades the old churches for parking, space, and a quick road toward Warsaw.
The suburbs run calm and green. If you want the cathedral and the museums, stay in the centre; if you want space and the road, take a room outside. Either way, Radom is small and easy to cross.
About Radom
Radom is known as an old Polish royal town.
What is Radom known for?
Kings once held their assemblies here, and the medieval Saint John the Baptist church still stands near the market, while the tall Radom Cathedral rises over the newer town. The Jacek Malczewski Museum honours a painter born in the city. History and industry shaped the place.
What are the main landmarks in Radom?
The Radom Cathedral rises over the city. Its tall brick towers are the great sight of the modern town, while the medieval Saint John the Baptist church keeps the old market corner. Art and faith mark the streets.
The Jacek Malczewski Museum holds the painter's work, and the Saint Catherine of Alexandria church and the Holy Trinity Church stand among the squares.
What is the history of Radom?
Radom rose as a town of kings. Casimir the Great walled it in the fourteenth century and built the Saint John the Baptist church, and its central place in the kingdom made it a seat of royal assemblies. Parliaments met behind its walls.
Here in 1505 the Sejm passed the great law of Nihil novi, which bound the king to rule with the nobles, a cornerstone of the old Polish republic. The modern city grew on iron and gunmaking. Factories and arms works spread through Radom in the industrial age, drawing crowds of workers to the plains, and the painter Jacek Malczewski was born among them, now honoured at the Jacek Malczewski Museum.
Then the workers rose. In June 1976 Radom broke into protest against communist rule and its rising prices, a revolt crushed hard but never forgotten. The Radom Cathedral and the old churches still stand above the busy streets.
Where is Radom?
Radom lies on the plains of central Poland. The city spreads over flat farm country in the south of the Mazovia region, on the small Mleczna river between the Vistula lowlands and the hills of the Świętokrzyskie country. Fields and woods ring the town.
The open plain carries the roads outward.
What is the climate of Radom?
Radom has a cool continental climate. Cold, snowy winters settle over the plains, and the warm summers bring storms across the open farmland, with rain spread through the year. Frost grips the fields through the winter.
The seasons swing wide and clear.
