Subject: Places to visit during your stay in Grodek

Introduction
This report is written to analyse places that may be interesting for your group to see while staying in our town, Grodek. I have visited all places from the list to collect information about fees and opening hours that would be suitable for you.

Places to visit in Grodek
In Grodek there are many places that are worth seeing. Unfortunately, some of them are open to public only in summer season. However, there are two attractions that may be taken into consideration as they seem suitable for you:

  1. The Open Theatre is a very popular tourist attraction from the 19th century. In the past it used to be open only for the elite of the town. Today you can visit the celebrities’ rooms and the backstage. You can also see a great collection of wigs and costumes from the 19th century. Open every day; every fortnight a traditional play shown; low fees.
  2. The Cube used to be a jail tower. It was built in the 18th century when the king decided to send all the criminals from the country to one place. It is surrounded by different labyrinths full of traps. Open every day; special shows on weekends; big discounts for groups.

Conclusion
The attractions that have been introduced in this report are well-known and popular among foreign tourists. I would not hesitate to recommend both of them to your group.
