Gizycko is a town in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, located in the very center of the Land of the Great Masurian Lakes on the isthmus between Lakes Niegocin and Kisajno. Because of its location, it is referred to as the Polish capital of sailing and shanties. However, in addition to being a great place to go sailing and take a cruise on the Mazurian lakes, the city has many interesting attractions to offer and not just in the summer season.
.Gizyc's best-known attractions include the 19th-century Prussian Boyen Fortress and the rotating bridge over the Luczanski Canal. The city also has a neo-Gothic water tower, on top of which an observation deck with a café has been located. In addition, the place collects memorabilia related to the city's pre-war residents, while hosting visitors with coffee and treats. While in Gizycko, it is worth taking a walk to the hill of St. Bruno, where there is a cast-iron cross dedicated to this patron saint of the city and one of the patron saints of Warmia. The long Gizycko pier and the footbridge leading to it is also a good place for strolling and admiring sunsets.
.Most tourists, wishing to visit the Polish sailing capital, get into their own car and in a shorter or longer time simply get there. But what about those who do not have a car at their disposal? Then it's best to choose buses to Gizycko. The PKS Giżycko bus station is located right next to the train station and the Giżycko marina. So if you want to visit the capital of Polish sailing, don't wait. Plan your trip today. Tickets and bus schedules to and from Giżycko can be found on our website.
.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.
