Włocławek lies on the Vistula River and its left-bank tributary the Zgłowiączka, in the Włocławek Valley which makes up a fragment of the Vistula proglacial stream valley. As it is located in the centre of the country, most of the main roads and railway routes of national and international significance run through the town. They connect the South with the North (Gdańsk-Toruń-Włocławek-Czestochowa-Katowice-Cieszyn) as well as the East with the West (Brześć - Warszawa - Płock - Włocławek - Bydgoszcz - Stargard Szczeciński - Kołbaskowo).
Włocławek today is the capital of a poviat in the kujawsko-pomorskie province. It is a well-developed industrial centre which also provides supply for the agricultural region. Excellent production results of the chemical, metal processing, agricultural and food processing industries indicate that the level of industry in Włocławek is really high.
However, Włocławek is not only an industrial town but also an academic centre. Several years ago a number of colleges and other academic educational institutions were established there. It is hoped that Włocławek - a town of such interesting history and tradition, a place surrounded by attractive touristic areas around will be more visible in the economic map of Poland in the years to come.
It is high time Włocławek's development opportunities were carried into effect.
