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.
Genua, or Genova in Italian, is a city in the northwest of Italy in the Liguria region. It is famous for its large port on the Ligurian Sea and is the sixth largest city in the country. Genova's location cascades - walking from the port, it seems to climb higher and higher up the mountain, every now and then providing great places to enjoy the views and take photos. For this reason, in addition to traditional forms of transportation, there are many railroads and elevators to make getting around easier.
What to see in the city? The best place to start is the Old Port with the Galata Aquarium oceanarium and Maritime Museum, and see the Palazzo San Giorgio distinguished by its beautiful facade. A replica of the 17th-century Spanish galleon that starred in Roman Polanski's "Pirates" awaits tourists there. While in Genoa, take a stroll through the narrow streets called caruggi, viewing larger and smaller squares, historic churches and numerous palaces along the way. The most important church in the city is the 12th-century San Lorenzo Cathedral, with its rich collections of sacred art. Along and near Via Garibaldi Street one can find many historic palaces. 42 of them are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Genoa is also home to a 17th-century reconstruction of the house where Christopher Columbus lived.
.Genoa is located at the crossroads of highways - roads from Turin and Milan lead here. Near the city, or more precisely 7 kilometers from its center, is the Christopher Columbus Airport. The main train station is located about one kilometer from the old part of the city. Our buses stop not far from it - at Piazza della Vittoria 30 R summer INPS.
