Tourist attractions

The brewery
Best known, the town is probably home to the brewery “Brows Książęcy“who has been producing the beer brand since 1629 “Tyskie” (meaning: (beer) from Tychy). The German brand has received several awards in recent years, both domestic and foreign. The brewery in Tychy (which now belongs to the brewery group Kompania Piwowarska in Poznań) probably produces the best Polish beer today. The company is one of the largest breweries in Poland today.
The brewery can be visited. There is guided tours and beer tasting. The buildings also house a brewery museum
