Basel is Switzerland's third-largest city and the only one with a port - a river port, of course. It is located on the Swiss border with Germany and France on the Rhine River. The city abounds with numerous historical monuments, and is also famous for its great cuisine and dozens of museums and art galleries.
.First of all, visit the local old town with its Gothic cathedral, dark red town hall, Spalen gate (one of three still standing today) and the famous white and blue houses. Around the square are picturesque narrow streets with many historic houses. The observation deck behind the cathedral offers a view of the Rhine River and the other side of the city.
From Basel's museums, it's worth visiting the Tinguely Museum - a prominent Swiss sculptor and painter working in the 1950s and 1960s, famous especially for constructing moving installations and machines, or the Natural History Museum with a huge collection of fossils, remains of prehistoric animals, where you can also learn about the history of the creation of the Alps and the entire region. Also noteworthy is the Museum of Art - one of the most important cultural institutions in the country, full of famous works of art from the 15th century to the present day.
By its location at the meeting point of three borders, Basel is a bit different from the rest of Swiss cities. It combines different cultures, languages and flavors. What is the best gourmet city in Switzerland? We answer - Basel. Restaurants in the city are highly rated. Among others, it is worth going to Le Rhin Bleu, a restaurant suspended on a special platform over the Rhine. Near the train station, there is also a market hall (Markthalle) with more than a dozen restaurants that are inexpensive for Switzerland and serve tasty cuisine from around the world.
.Basel can be reached by plane, flying into France's Saint-Louis airport, from which you take a city bus to Switzerland. Alternatively, you can take the Basel long-distance bus, which stops just outside Basel's main train station. You can find a list of available connections on our website. We invite you to board our buses!
.Are you looking for an idea for a weekend getaway? Are you looking for a city that offers attractive sights that will make you lick history, and at the same time beautiful natural circumstances? All of these things are combined in Sandomierz, which has to offer both an amazingly maintained Market Square - said to be one of the most beautiful in Poland - with an equally impressive Town Hall, magnificent townhouses, endlessly stretching underground passageways where you will take in the history of this wonderful city, and beautiful landscapes and wooded paths where Queen Jadwiga once stepped.
Sandomierz is, in our humble opinion, Polish history in a nutshell. In Sandomierz you will visit the Cathedral Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, where Barbara Jagiellon was baptized. You'll visit the Church of St. James, where Queen Jadwiga walked along one of the loess ravines, and you'll be able to admire the Royal Castle, or rather one wing of it, built on the orders of Casimir the Great.
You can get to Sandomierz by bus. The bus station is located in the very center of the city, so you will have no problem getting to, for example, your hotel or reserved apartment in one of the recently so popular apps.
Our buses go from and to Sandomierz from many cities, so be sure to use the booking form and buy your ticket now. This will help you spend a great weekend in this "Vistula River gem".
