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.

.Discovering Pszow, a tiny town in the heart of the Silesian Voivodeship, you may feel that you are stepping on the footsteps of time. Situated quietly in the Oder River valley, this place comes alive with history and culture, tempting tourists with the wealth of its attractions.
Undoubtedly the city's crown monument is the Minor Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its Gothic architecture, given a Baroque facelift over time, hides real treasures: the main altar from 1710, the baptismal font from three centuries ago, and the organ made thirty years after the altarpiece.
The city's most famous landmark is the Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Mentioning monuments, it is impossible to omit St. Nicholas Church. It's like reading ancient chronicles, where the 13th-century roots of this temple lead through the eras, from its Romanesque beginning to its Gothic transformations. A Romanesque portal from the 13th century, a Gothic altarpiece from the 1500s and a Baroque font from the 1700s are like pages of a magic book.
On the other hand, in Tworkow, near Pszow, you'll come across the ruins of a 14th century castle. Once erected at the behest of the Dukes of Racibórz, it now presents itself as a fascinating ruin after being destroyed by the war.

Slightly farther away, in Łączna, the Ignacy Mine is a piece of the past from the 19th century. One of the most modern in Upper Silesia at one time, today it is open to the public, shedding light on the hard times of mining.
>In Pszow, the Szarlota Heap, an artificial mountain built from post-mining waste, is a must-see. From the highest point on this heap, there is an impressive panorama of the city and its surroundings.
