The city is situated at the altitude of 440 – 886m a.s.l. and borders directly with the Czech Republic (border crossing Szklarska Poręba – Jakuszyce / Harrachov). Enormous tourist advantages and favorable location in the vicinity of large central European cities: Prague 139km away, Vienna 280km, Wrocław 140km (each of them has an international airport) as well as in the neighborhood of Polish-Czech (8km) and Polish-German (71km) border crossings, makes Szklarska Poręba an attractive centre in both tourist and economic respect.
