The town of Cassino is located halfway between Rome and Naples. For centuries it has been a kind of gateway to the Italian capital. The hill of Monte Cassino rises to a height of 519 meters above sea level. It was here that the bloodiest and fiercest battle of World War II was fought from January to May 1944. At the site of the monastery passed the Gustav Line, the crossing of which opened the way to Rome for the Allies and moved the front, which had been stalled for long months.
When visiting Monte Cassino, it is worth starting with the Benedictine monastery, who established their abbey here as early as the 6th century. During the memorable battles of 1944, the hilltop monastery was virtually completely destroyed. Fortunately, it was possible to salvage much of the historical furnishings from the basilica and valuable works of art and manuscripts. Today they can be admired in the local museum. The Cathedral Basilica of Monte Cassino itself has been painstakingly rebuilt, preserving its pre-war appearance. An attraction that few people know about is the vast Natural Park surrounding the hill. Its area is nearly 700 hectares. In addition to the famous Polish War Cemetery, other important Polish monuments can be found on its grounds - to the "Skorpion" Armored Regiment and the 3rd Carpathian Rifle Division, as well as several scenic walking trails.
In the town of Cassino itself, you can also spot a few Polish accents - among the most important and most visited are a small museum dedicated to Wladyslaw Anders and a monument to Wojtek the Bear. There are also the remains of a Roman temple and amphitheater from the 1st century BC and an early medieval fortress.

Katowice aspires to be the capital of a modern metropolis, whose directions of development are determined by services, creative industry, great events and modern technologies. Such ambitious goals entail the need to prepare transportation solutions that enable smooth movement of people who want to live, work, study or spend the weekend in Katowice. You can get around the city by streetcar or bus. One type of ticket is valid for all metropolitan modes of transportation. Two points are considered the transfer center for intercity connections: the bus station on Sądowa Street and the train station. Both places are connected by city bus lines. From the bus station, which has been operating in this form and new location for a short time, coaches set off for various cities in Poland and on the Old Continent. The thesis that the bus connects Katowice with practically all of Europe is therefore not exaggerated. The best proof of it is the network of Sindbad connections. Our buses from Katowice depart in many directions, including Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Italy or Ukraine. All transfers are provided by modern vehicles, guaranteeing comfortable and safe travel even on distant routes. There are also city buses departing from the coach station on Sądowa Street, which run to Pyrzowice Airport, from where you can also fly beyond the ends of Europe.
