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.
.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.
.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.
