August is a month of its own

Over 80,000 pilgrims come to Jasna Góra in August, peaking in the middle and at the end of the month. For several days the traffic in Śródmieście and around the sanctuary runs around the clock and compares with nothing else in the year.

A market closed inside the city

The conurbation is far away, so almost every ride starts and ends in Częstochowa. Steady work comes from Częstochowa Główna station, Galeria Jurajska, the hospital on ul. Mirowska and two universities with over eleven thousand students between them.
