Undoubtedly, the strongest points of the city are countless sports events such as Triathlon Bydgoszcz, Woda Bydgoska (Swimming Competition), Wielka Wioślarska (Great Rowing Regatta), or a combination of water and music festivals, i.e. Rzeka Muzyki (the River of Music), or Bydgoszcz Water Festival "Ster na Bydgoszcz", just to name the few. Once more it's the water that brings them all to life. Should you not fancy the band play, why not head for a canoe or a water-bike and enjoy the river to the rhythm of your own taste.
