Walking through Sochaczew you should see the ruins of the castle of the Mazovian princes, standing on the top of a hill in the very middle of the town. The castle is a remarkable sight, particularly at night thanks to the illuminations. At the foot of the hill, at the edge of Sochaczew, there is an outdoor amphitheatre with a concert hall. It serves as the venue for numerous open-air cultural events. Apart from that, you will want to take a look at the fine edifice of the Music School, built in the 19th century. It is set amongst a lovely park area with a large pond. If you are of an active disposition the town has a stadium, a swimming pool and a skating rink.

There is a museum in Sochaczew that tells the story of the Great Battle of Bzura (September 1939). The Museum of Narrow-Gauge Railway, a very well known one, boasts an extensive collection of magnificent antique trains. During the summer months, a narrow-gauge train runs on the original 18 km route, taking the passengers to Wilcze Tulowskie. From there you can enter the Kampinoska Forest, which provides wonderful hiking opportunities.
