AUGUSTOW

Augustow is a city in northeastern Poland, in Podlaskie Voivodship, with a population of about 30,000. Its location in Podlasie, on the Netta River surrounded by lakes and the vast Augustów Primeval Forest, makes it a popular vacation destination. Augustów was voted "The nicest city in Poland" in 2014, and there's something about it - its people are extremely hospitable, and the unspoiled nature encourages you to spend at least some time there.

When visiting Augustów, it's worth seeing, first of all, its rather unusual, wooded market square. In the heart of Augustow's old town, a park initially called Saxon Garden and later Jagiellonian Garden was established in 1847. It houses the Column of Sigismund Augustus, founded on the 450th anniversary of the granting of city rights.

The market is surrounded by 19th and 20th century townhouses, the oldest surviving of which, dating from 1801, hosted Napoleon Bonaparte. In addition, noteworthy in the city are the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, or the Augustow Land Museum. However, one of the most popular attractions in the area is cruising along the Augustow Canal and observing the operation of the locks present on it, as well as sailing on the nearby lakes and hiking along the trails of the Augustow Forest.

Augustow Access

The city is located in the northeastern part of Poland, in the Podlasie Province. Due to its proximity to the Lithuanian border, it is an important transportation hub. Transit roads to the border crossings in Budzisko and Ogrodniki, as well as national and provincial roads pass through Augustow. The Augustow bypass (DK8) and a section of the S61 expressway were opened in 2014.

The city has a railroad station and makes direct connections to Bialystok and Warsaw. The Augustow bus station is located in the vicinity of the Zygmunt August Square, while our coaches stop near the Augustow lock and the district police headquarters.

CANNES

The luxury resort on the Côte d'Azur, the film capital, associated with wealth, famous actors or directors was until recently a small fishing settlement. Today Cannes is a sizable city, but one that can be visited in a few hours. Its touristic part with the main attractions extends over an area of less than one and a half kilometers. It is thanks to the annual festival of cinema that Cannes wakes up and comes alive for several weeks, serving as a destination for many tourists and fans of film stars.

What to see in Cannes? The top attractions in the city are those associated with the Film Festival. However, in addition to the Avenue of the Stars and the Festival Palace, it's also worth exploring a bit of Le Suquet, the oldest part of the city with its towering 11th-century castle. Château de la Castre was once meant to protect the coast. It now houses a museum that collects artifacts from various eras, including collections of primitive art or musical instruments from around the world. The castle's tower offers a beautiful view of the entire area.

While in Cannes, it is also worth going to the local market Marché Forville, where you can buy fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood and fish and local cheeses. Just over a kilometer from the city is the small archipelago of the Léonian Islands, with remains from Roman times, a Cistercian monastery or the historic Royal Fort.

Cannes - transportation. How to get to Cannes?

The best way to get to Cannes is by train or bus. From the bus and train station you can walk to the Old Town in a few minutes. Our coaches stop right there, near the beautiful marina. Located 5 kilometers west of Cannes, Mandelieu Airport serves only private and business flights. The closest commercial airport to the city is in Nice, from which Cannes can be reached by bus in about 90 minutes.

Cannes-this city is electrifying. At the very thought we associate words such as: fame, wealth, film, festival. There is nothing strange about this and all associations will be right.
