Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to evaluate the accessibility of foot, by bicycle and by car of twenty nine cultural institutions in the district of Zduńska Wola. The research enabled the presentation of detached and multi-family houses inhabitants within isochrones: to 5 minutes, from above 5 to 10 minutes and from above 10 to 15 minutes from the cultural institutions. To achieve this purpose, data from the OpenStreetMap resource, data from the Local Data Bank and the WMS network service, which presents the current Topographic Objects Data Base were used. The analyses indicate that the libraries are characterised by the best accessibility and the museumsare characterised by the worst accessibility.The diversity of inhabitants of this district accessibility to the cultural centres, museums and libraries results from the number and location of individual types of cultural institutions and the distribution ofdetached and multi-family houses. The inhabitants of Zduńska Wola have the best access to the cultural institutions, because the biggest concentrations of multi-family houses and the densest road network in the district of Zduńska Wola occur in this town.
