Lower Silesia abounds in tourist attractions and leisure facilities.

The Sudeten and their foothills, the Klodzko Valley, numerous castles, Cistercian monasteries, historical churches, many places of worship, spas, relics of technology, Gothic and Baroque treasures of Wroc'aw and other Lower Silesian towns are a real magnet for both Polish and foreign tourists; it is estimated that Lower Silesia hosts an average 4 million tourists a year. The diversity of the region's relief (ranging from mountainous areas in the south to lowland, densely forested areas with plenty of ponds in the north), numerous tourist trails, picturesque landscapes, historical treasures and the climate make Lower Silesia a place where even the most demanding tastes will be satisfied. Visitors to the health resorts, holidaymakers, hikers, skiing and mountain bikes enthusiasts, climbers, canoeists, and even gliders and hang-gliders will find the local climate conditions and tourist facilities more than satisfactory. Lower Silesia is also famous for its spas; there are 12 health resorts in the region. The region's spas have been known since the Middle Ages and they attracted many visitors from all over Europealready in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Lower Silesian spas are also popular holiday destinations. Due to the relatively mild climate, snow in the vast expanses of the Silesian Lowland is rare. However, just a few dozen miles to the south the region is a real skiing paradise where abundant snow is guaranteed. The first snow covers the peaks of the Giant Mountains as early as October and often stays there until May. In the Sudeten the skiers and snowboarders will have a lot of famous skiing resorts to choose from, as well as numerous ski runs and tourist trails in small, peaceful holiday resorts.
