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.
.Leverkusen is a city of more than 160,000 people in western Germany, located on the Rhine River in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Although its history as an urban center is not long, it is inextricably linked to the development of industry and the Bayer pharmaceutical plant. In 1861, German chemist Carl Leverkus established his factory in the area - then the village of Wiesdorf. Over time, more and more workers and their families began arriving there, until the center itself grew so significantly that it was granted city rights in 1920.
What can you visit and see while in Leverkusen? The attractions this city offers are directly or indirectly related to Bayer, as Leverkusen is an industrial city associated mainly with drug manufacturing and the Bayer 04 Leverkusen football club originally derived from employees of this local concern. However, the city has much more to offer, especially for lovers of contemporary art. While there, it's especially worth a visit to the Morsbroich Museum of Modern Art located in an 18th-century palace, as well as a stroll through the beautiful Japanese garden or the Reuschenberg Nature Park.
Leverkusen is an important junction at the junction of the A1 and A3 highways in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The nearest airport is the large Cologne/Bonn Airport, located less than 22 kilometers from the city center. In addition, there are numerous trains and long-distance coaches to Leverkusen. Our buses stop in the city center, near the main train station and Leverkusen bus station Wiesdorf Mitte.
