Paczków is a charming town in the Opole Voivodeship, often referred to as "Poland's Carcassonne" due to its well-preserved 14th century fortification walls. It is one of the few towns in Poland where the medieval fortifications have been preserved almost in their entirety.
The main attraction is the Market Square with the Town Hall, which impresses with its beautiful architecture and atmospheric surroundings. Also worth a visit is the Museum of Gas Industry, where you can see unique exhibits related to the history of gas industry in Poland. Also notable among the monuments is the Church of St. John the Evangelist, which formerly served as a defense.
Paczków is located on Lake Otmuchowskie and close to Lake Nysa, which offer great conditions for water recreation, sailing and fishing. The Nysa Klodzka River also flows through the town, adding to the beauty of the landscape.
Paczkow hosts a variety of cultural events, including Paczkow Days, during which one can listen to concerts, see knight shows and take part in local festivals. It is an ideal place for lovers of history, nature and peaceful recreation.
The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. It is actually the center of the city, so you will reach the nearest and one of the most important points of interest in the city, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.
On the other hand, heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.
If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.
The Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worthy of your attention. There, the works of Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.
The museum is a great place to visit.
Monchengladbach can furthermore be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodation in Monchengladbach should be slightly lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar for virtually a whole week.
