Helsingborg is a Swedish port city located in the Skåne region, on the Strait of Sund. It is only 4 kilometers from the Danish city of Helsingor, on the other side of the isthmus. Officially, Helsingborg was founded in 1081, making it one of the oldest cities in Sweden, although you should know that it originally belonged to Denmark. When visiting Helsingborg, you can immerse yourself a bit in the local history, but also have a nice time on the seashore or in one of several beautifully maintained parks.
Perhaps the city's most important monument is the Kärnan Tower, which is a remnant of a medieval fortress that once existed. The city's oldest church, the Marienkirche, with its historic altar and baptismal font, is worth a visit, as well as a stroll through the city's main square, Stortorget. A major attraction in Helsingborg is Tropikariet, a park with tropical animals and rainforest flora, and Fredriksdal Gardens showcasing mainly local flora surrounded by interesting thematic exhibitions, including historical and ethnographic ones. The Dunker Culture House art center is also worth a visit. In addition to the interesting exhibitions, the building itself is already noteworthy - it was designed by Kim Utzon, son of Jorn Utzon, the architect responsible for the design of the Sydney Opera House.
A frequent means of transportation from Poland to Sweden is by ferry to Ystad. From there, Helsingborg is still less than 2 hours away by car or train. Another travel option is direct car or coach transportation from our country. Sindbad buses stop at Hamntoget bus stop, right next to the city marina.

.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.
