Antwerp is located on the River Scheldt in the Flemish Region and is the largest city and largest port in Belgium. Antwerp is also the most famous diamond-cutting center in the world. What to see when visiting this Belgian city?
.One of the city's largest and oldest landmarks is Het Steen Castle, built between 1200 and 1225 on the site of an earlier 9th century fortress. Over the centuries it has served various functions: it has been a prison, a private residence, a warehouse or even a sawmill. The current castle is only part of the former fortification located on the now-defunct De Werf peninsula. While in the city, of course, you must see the market square with its beautiful town hall and fountain, St. Mary's Cathedral and historic guild houses.
While strolling around Antwerp, look around for murals related to Belgian cartoons. You can also visit the Rubens House, a museum dedicated not only to the life and work of this famous painter, but also displaying his personal objects. The museum is housed in rooms with original antique 17th-century furnishings.
Antwerp is a well-connected city. It has an airport that handles several scheduled flights, charter flights and business flights. The main train and bus stations are located in the center, near the city zoo. If you decide to bus to Antwerp, check the availability of connections from your city on our website.

.Olawawa is a city in Lower Silesia province, in the Wroclaw agglomeration. The town, located on the Oława (known as the Oławka) and Odra rivers, and currently inhabited by about 33,000 people, traces its history back to the 12th century and the Middle Ages.
.The most important attraction in the city is the Piast Castle in Olawa, also known as Luisa's Palace. It was erected on the site of Prince Louis I's former Gothic hunting lodge from the late 14th century and has been rebuilt many times over the years. Olawa's town hall dates from the first half of the 19th century. On its Baroque tower, a remnant from the previous town hall, is a 17th-century figural-astronomical clock with moving figures. Inside is the worthwhile Museum Chamber of Olawa Land, a small regional museum that collects antiquities, coins and postcards from Olawa and the surrounding area, as well as a collection of militaria or exhibitions of sculptures and ceramics by local artists. Several beautiful Baroque townhouses can also be seen in the area.
.It is worth taking a walk in the city park located in the southern part of Olawa along the Olawka River. Also nearby is an old Jewish cemetery with dozens of preserved matzevot. Also awaiting visitors to the city is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Consolation, the oldest church in Olawa with the remains of a Gothic chancel from around 1300 and several valuable monuments of sacred art.
.The city lies 27 kilometers southeast of Wroclaw. Oława is crossed by national road 94 and provincial roads: 396 and 455. The city has a railroad station and an Oława PKS station. The railroad connection between Wroclaw and Olawa was established as early as 1842 and is the oldest in Poland. Trains to Olawa stop at the railroad station on Szopena Street, adjacent to the city park. The Oława PKS bus station is located at 3 Maja Street and serves both intercity and international connections.
