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.

.Zabrze is a city between Gliwice and Bytom located in Upper Silesia. It is inhabited by nearly 157,000 people. Its name signifies a settlement located behind debry, or hills covered with forest thicket. Although Zabrze as a city has existed since 1922, it has a much longer history. The first mention of its current district, then the settlement of Biskupice, dates back to 1243, and Zabrze is mentioned in documents from the early 14th century. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, Zabrze developed as an industrial center - coal mines and a steel mill were established.
It may seem that there is nothing interesting to see there, but the city is full of interesting attractions not found anywhere else in Poland. In Zabrze you can see many brilliantly revitalized remnants of its industrial and mining past, such as the Królowa Luiza Adit, once the pride of mining engineers, today one of the biggest attractions of the Silesian province offering interesting attractions both underground and on the surface. The Guido Mine is also a must-see, allowing visitors to descend more than 300 meters below the surface and traverse nearly 5 kilometers of underground trails there, familiarizing themselves with the hard work of miners. Another similar attraction is Maciej Shaft, a complex of buildings of the former Concordia Mine.
Zabrze is located by the A4 and A1 highways. National and provincial roads run through it. There is also a railroad station and the Zabrze PKS bus station, which is located on Goethe Street in the city center. Our buses depart from PKS Zabrze station but also from the bus stop located at Plac Warszawski.
