Koscian is mainly an industrial town and an important place for people who want to stop while driving to Poznan or to Wroclaw, plus there is also a railway connection with these same two major cities.

Koscian has several historical sights to visit, including the 14th century Gothic parish church, the town hall and the chapel of Lord Jesus. In the vicinity of Koscian there are also numerous interesting places to be discovered, such as Racot where you can see the pretty palace of Jablonowski, designed by Domenico Merlini, architect of the Lazienki Palace in Warsaw. There is a renowned horse stud in Racot, too, while in Nowy Debiec there is Lake Wioniesc and a small resort, willingly visited by people from Koscian. A cycling trail leads from Koscian to Racot and Debiec. One of the most precious historical monuments in the area is the Benedictine monastery in Lubin from the 11th century. A bit farther on is the town of Grodzisk Wielkopolski, where trips are organised on an ancient handcar (the line connects Grodzisk and Koscian).
