List of cities and towns in Poland

Map of Poland

This page contains a list of cities and towns in Poland, preceded by a table of major Polish cities. The table ranks cities by population based on data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland. Note that in the Polish system of administration there is no difference between a city and a town, thus all urban communities are listed as cities here. A gazetteer is available to locate any town or settlement on a detailed map.
