Rybnik on the surface appears to be an undersized and unattractive tourist town. However, it should be emphasized that it has a rich history and, consequently, a large number of monuments. This is because it first fell into the hands of the Germans, then the Czechs, and finally was incorporated into Poland. Rybnik was founded as a fishing settlement, and a century later it was transformed into a city. Today, in addition to historical and cultural monuments, Rybnik also has one of the most extensive networks of bicycle paths in Poland.
You can get to or from Rybnik by bus. Buses from Rybnik leave from the PKS station, located at 6 Budowlanych St. From there, it is a stone's throw to the downtown area, the market square or the Basilica. However, Rybnik has much more to offer. For there is a castle within the city, and on the outskirts, a lagoon is available to residents.
Fans of more industrial attractions will certainly be interested in the historic Ignacy Mine. On its grounds, visitors will find a lookout tower, a carpentry shop, two engine houses or steam pairs. The mine itself is one of the oldest in the entire region, so it's worth putting it on your list of things to see.
And when you've had enough of sightseeing, be sure to get on your bike and take a ride on one of the bicycle paths that stretch for another three hundred kilometers within Rybnik.
Rybnik may not be a city where you'll spend your entire vacation, but if you like bicycle tours, be sure to put this location on your must-see list.
Avignon has made history, for in the 14th century Pope Clement V moved the See of Peter here, and Avignon became the capital city of the Catholic Church for several decades.

This UNESCO-listed monument is not the only reason to visit this place. Another famous monument is the unrebuilt bridge in Avignon.
