Biłgoraj, town located at the fork of the Czarna and Biała Łada rivers and surrounded by the Solska Forest, is famous for his past tradition of sieve-making. From the XVII century it was known for the production of all kinds of sieves. Interestingly, Biłgoraj craftsmen created their own secret language, known only to the city's residents. This was to protect their businesses and ensure free communication during numerous trade travels. Unfortunately, its secrets have not survived to the present day, but when visiting Biłgoraj we have the opportunity to see the original sieve-making homestead with our own eyes. The history of sieve-making craft is also popularized during cyclical outdoor events.

Biłgoraj is also famous for its outstanding Nobel Prize winner. Isaac Bashevis Singer, writer, the author of the acclaimed novel "The Magician of Lublin", was associated with the town. The writer's grandfather was the rabbi of the local Jewish community. I.B. Singer used to visit the town often and a commemorative bench with the writer’s figure, reminds about his relationship with Biłgoraj.

In the city there are also three Baroque churches, funded, among others, by the Polish magnate families of Potocki and Zamoyski, all of them that have been rebuilt several times. When visiting Biłgoraj, it is worth to plan a visit to the Biłgoraj Region Museum, where numerous permanent and temporary exhibitions about the history of the region are presented.
