A characteristic feature of the city is its location high above sea level, in the range of 450-650 m a.s.l. As a result, one of the town's landmarks is the highest located Market Square and Town Hall in Poland (592 m a.s.l.). Boguszów-Gorce is embedded between the mountain ranges of the Wałbrzyskie Mountains (with Chełmec, 851 m above sea level and Mniszek) and the Kamienne Mountains with the Dzikowiec massif (Dzikowiec - 836 m above sea level). From the beginning of its history to the end of the 20th century, the city was associated mainly with industry mining. Hard coal, but also barite and silver were mined in Boguszów-Gorce. Due to its attractive location, however, it has always had great tourist potential. The branch of the economy and public life flourished in the interwar period when the city was a fashionable resort with the first casino in Lower Silesia.
Today, Boguszów-Gorce is becoming a tourist pearl of the Sudetes again. In the city and the surrounding area there is a lot of picturesque winding ski runs and bicycle paths.
