Gorlice is a nearly 26,000-strong town in Malopolska province located on the northern border of the Beskid Niski in the valley of the Ropa and Sekowka rivers. It is a beautifully located town with an unusually rich history. Due to the pharmacist and entrepreneur associated with the city and the inventor of the kerosene lamp, Ignacy Lukasiewicz, it is called the city of light.
There are many interesting attractions and tourist trails in Gorlice. Particularly noteworthy are Gorlice's market square, town hall and the Ignacy Lukasiewicz PTTK Regional Museum with collections related to the history of the city. There you can also see a chapel with a statue of Sorrowful Jesus indicating the exact place where the first street kerosene lamp was lit for the first time in the world, in 1854. Also worth a visit is the Open Air Museum of Oil Industry "Magdalena" located on the site of a former oil mine. Gorlice is also home to numerous cemeteries, especially from World War I, as it was in this area that intense fighting took place in 1915, which on May 2 allowed the Russian front to break through and significantly changed the course of the war.
Gorlice can be reached by both train and bus from the largest cities of Malopolska and Podkarpacie, but also from nearby smaller towns. International bus services to many European cities, including Germany, France and Italy, also stop at the PKS station. On the other hand, a train between Kraków and Zagórz passes through the Gorlice Zagórzany station.
.Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark. It lies on the east coast of the island of Zealand and partly on the island of Amager. It is inhabited by more than 600,000 people, with the entire urban complex of the Danish capital having a population of one million 200,000. It is a city considered the best and happiest to live in. Copenhagen is home to two of the oldest amusement parks in the world. The first - Bakken park on the outskirts of the city was founded in 1583, and the second is Tivoli Gardens, operating since 1843 and located in the very center of the Danish capital.
If you are looking for a colorful, positive, tasty, well-maintained and at the same time full of sights city - Copenhagen may be a good idea for your trip. The must-see attractions when you are there for the first time are the colorful harbor district of Nyhavn, the official residence of the Danish monarchs, namely the 18th-century Amalienborg Palace guarded by a fully uniformed Royal Guard, and Rosenborg Castle with its Danish crown jewels and many valuable monuments.
It's also worth taking a canal cruise, looking at Copenhagen from the observation deck located on the tower of the city hall, seeing the interior of the unique Grundtvigs Church or forming your own opinion about the still controversial Christiania district.
The fastest way to reach the Danish capital is by plane. Copenhagen-Kastrup Airport is located 8 kilometers southeast of the city center. The distance from Warsaw to Copenhagen is more than 1130 kilometers. However, the shortest trip by car from Poland requires taking a ferry. There are also many long-distance buses to Denmark. Our coaches stop at the Copenhagen Central Bus Station Ingerslevsgade. On the other hand, public transportation in the Danish capital is well organized and very diverse. You can choose from four subway lines, buses, water streetcars or city bicycles.
