Aachen is a spa town in western Germany in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. At one time Aachen was the seat of Charlemagne and the center of his European empire. Charlemagne built a palace and a chapel there, which was expanded over time into the cathedral that still exists today. Inside this historic temple are the imperial throne and reliquary of Charlemagne, the Great Relics of Aachen, which include Mary's gown and the baby Jesus' diaper, and many other valuable medieval objects.
In addition to the cathedral, see the beautiful town hall and take advantage of the health-promoting properties of the local thermal waters. There are several interesting museums in Aachen: the cathedral treasury, the Centre Charlemagne introducing the history of Aachen, and the Couven Museum, showcasing technical progress and the life of the city's inhabitants in the 18th century, among others. Aachen also has many interesting monuments and fountains. Right next to the cathedral is the Puppenbrunnen, a movable fountain from 1975 that tells the city's history in an abbreviated way by means of figures moved by viewers.

.Wondering what non-obvious travel destination to choose? Where you haven't been before, and perhaps worth going? Between Warsaw and Bialystok lies a small town of great historical significance. We are, of course, talking about Ostroleka, a small town, but how important, for example, in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. At that time it was a significant point on the trade route between Warsaw and Vilnius.
.Ostrołęka is not a large city, so many important and worthwhile sights are located close together. Let's say the Museum of Kurpie Culture is right next to the Old Town or the bridge named after Antoni Madalinski, yet these are the most important and characteristic points of Ostroleka. What's more, there is Zagroda Kurpiowska in Kadzidlo, which is a kind of open-air museum full of cottages and farm buildings from the 19th century, for example.
.Ostrołęka also has a well-preserved old town, the street layout is identical to that of the fourteenth century, however, it should be pointed out that due to its turbulent history and, among other things, the destruction suffered, for example, during the First World War, the building of the town hall located right on the market square is no longer what it was in the nineteenth century.
.If, on the other hand, you are looking for a respite on warm days, and happen to be in Ostroleka, or want to take a break from sightseeing, it is worth going to the city's beach, as the city's clear case lies on the Narew River.
.If you are wondering how to get to and from Ostroleka, we encourage you to use our buses that stop at the bus station at 21 Genała Ludwika Bogusławskiego St. This is a stone's throw from the old town, the market square and the bridge, which is one of the more recognizable points. The city. Ostroleka has a train station, of course, but this bus station is much closer to the city center, which makes traveling to Ostroleka this way make more sense.
