404 towns in 16 voivodeships
Poland's list is compact: 404 towns and cities of 10,000 people or more, from GeoNames. Warsaw is the only one past a million. Kraków, Wrocław, Łódź and Poznań come next, and 39 places reach 100,000. 183 are under 20,000, down to Skwierzyna in the Lubusz region, which is the smallest at just over 10,000.
Upper Silesia stands out. The Silesian Voivodeship has 48 places and 12 big cities, among them Katowice, Gliwice and Bytom, because its towns grew together around the coal mines. Masovia, the region around Warsaw, has 46. Podlaskie and Opole each have 13, and Świętokrzyskie 11. Use Region to keep the draw in one of the 16 voivodeships.
Names keep their Polish letters: Łódź, Gdańsk, Białystok. Apart from a few with an English form, such as Warsaw, every town is spelled the Polish way, which helps when you look it up.

Questions about random cities in Poland
What is a voivodeship?
Poland's name for its 16 provinces, such as Pomeranian or Lesser Poland. Each has its own capital: Gdańsk, Kraków and so on. They are listed under Region.
Are parts of Warsaw counted as towns?
No. Districts like Mokotów or Praga belong to Warsaw, which appears once. Separate towns near the capital, such as Pruszków, are on the list.
How old are the population figures?
They come from GeoNames and can be a few years behind the Central Statistical Office. Many Polish towns are shrinking, so the real number may be a little lower.
Can I use it in Polish?
Yes. The Polish edition of the site has its own page for random towns in Poland, with the same list. Choose Polski in the language menu.
