OLESNICA

Oleśnica is a small town of about 35,000 people in Lower Silesia, located near Wroclaw. The Oleśnica River flows through it. Attractions and monuments worth seeing here include, first of all, the Olesnica Princes' Castle, dating back to the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Although most of its former furnishings were looted during and after World War II, the body of the building itself, the cloisters in the courtyard or other decorations have not suffered too much and today remind us of the former splendor of this object. The castle is connected with the nearby Basilica of St. John the Apostle, also known as the castle church, by a 14th-century gallery. In the richly decorated interiors of the church, in addition to the magnificent altar, pulpit or organ, one can visit the chain library and the mausoleum of the Princes of Württemberg.

The Olesnica area is also home to the historic 16th-century Dormition of the Holy Mother of God Orthodox Church and the Old Synagogue building, which is now a Pentecostal Church congregation. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Poland that once served as a synagogue - it was built at the end of the 14th century. Olesnica's medieval town gate and defensive walls are also a major attraction. The city has an impressive ATOL recreational complex, which includes an aquapark, climbing wall, tennis, squash and miniature golf courts, among others.

BASEL

Basel is Switzerland's third-largest city and the only one with a port - a river port, of course. It is located on the Swiss border with Germany and France on the Rhine River. The city abounds with numerous historical monuments, and is also famous for its great cuisine and dozens of museums and art galleries.

Basel - city attractions

First of all, visit the local old town with its Gothic cathedral, dark red town hall, Spalen gate (one of three still standing today) and the famous white and blue houses. Around the square are picturesque narrow streets with many historic houses. The observation deck behind the cathedral offers a view of the Rhine River and the other side of the city.

From Basel's museums, it's worth visiting the Tinguely Museum - a prominent Swiss sculptor and painter working in the 1950s and 1960s, famous especially for constructing moving installations and machines, or the Natural History Museum with a huge collection of fossils, remains of prehistoric animals, where you can also learn about the history of the creation of the Alps and the entire region. Also noteworthy is the Museum of Art - one of the most important cultural institutions in the country, full of famous works of art from the 15th century to the present day.

By its location at the meeting point of three borders, Basel is a bit different from the rest of Swiss cities. It combines different cultures, languages and flavors. What is the best gourmet city in Switzerland? We answer - Basel. Restaurants in the city are highly rated. Among others, it is worth going to Le Rhin Bleu, a restaurant suspended on a special platform over the Rhine. Near the train station, there is also a market hall (Markthalle) with more than a dozen restaurants that are inexpensive for Switzerland and serve tasty cuisine from around the world.
