Genua, or Genova in Italian, is a city in the northwest of Italy in the Liguria region. It is famous for its large port on the Ligurian Sea and is the sixth largest city in the country. Genova's location cascades - walking from the port, it seems to climb higher and higher up the mountain, every now and then providing great places to enjoy the views and take photos. For this reason, in addition to traditional forms of transportation, there are many railroads and elevators to make getting around easier.
What to see in the city? The best place to start is the Old Port with the Galata Aquarium oceanarium and Maritime Museum, and see the Palazzo San Giorgio distinguished by its beautiful facade. A replica of the 17th-century Spanish galleon that starred in Roman Polanski's "Pirates" awaits tourists there. While in Genoa, take a stroll through the narrow streets called caruggi, viewing larger and smaller squares, historic churches and numerous palaces along the way. The most important church in the city is the 12th-century San Lorenzo Cathedral, with its rich collections of sacred art. Along and near Via Garibaldi Street one can find many historic palaces. 42 of them are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Genoa is also home to a 17th-century reconstruction of the house where Christopher Columbus lived.
.Genoa is located at the crossroads of highways - roads from Turin and Milan lead here. Near the city, or more precisely 7 kilometers from its center, is the Christopher Columbus Airport. The main train station is located about one kilometer from the old part of the city. Our buses stop not far from it - at Piazza della Vittoria 30 R summer INPS.
.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.
The castle is a fascinating ruin.
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.
The city is a must-see.
If you are planning a trip to Pszow, think about convenience. Buses to and from Pszow are a great option. It is worth considering using coaches of Sindbad line. Modern, comfortable coaches stop right next to the Biedronka store on Traugutta Street.
