Grudziadz is a large industrial town with a population exceeding 100,000, is ranked among the major urban areas of the Kuyavian-Pommeranian Voivodship as well as being an important local centre of business, education and culture. The town's potential for tourism is evaluated as high due to two main factors that have contributed towards its development.

First of all, there is a range of interesting sights that any visitor can explore. Apart from the imposing buttressed granaries along the river, Grudziadz's Old Town offers many more places to see and things to do. Why not start from the regional museum of contemporary art with its temporary exhibitions and archaeological section, all housed in a former Benedictine convent? In the vicinity is the Gothic red-brick parish church of St. Nicolas and the Baroque Jesuit Church, while the nearby college, formerly run by Jesuits, has been turned into a town hall. There are plenty of other attractions, including a planetarium and the remnants of ancient ramparts.

Secondly, thanks to the great roads in the region, Grudziadz is easily accessible from other major cities and regions in Poland. Running through the town is the road from Germany to Warmia and Masuria, and the international E-75 route passes by only some 5 km away. Moreover, there are more great possibilities for the future of the town since a new highway to Gdansk and a ring road are under construction.
