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.
