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.
Girona is located in the northeast of Spain, at the foot of the Catalan Mountains, about 33 kilometers west of the Mediterranean coast. It is located in Catalonia, 80 kilometers from its capital, Barcelona, and is a small, atmospheric city full of historic architecture.
What interesting things does Girona offer for visitors? It is best to start your sightseeing from the old town, surrounded by walls that still remember Roman times. The focal point there is the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, distinguished by its monumental staircase and Baroque façade, whose interiors represent the Gothic-Romanesque style. The temple boasts the widest nave in the world in terms of Gothic architecture. In addition, the Jewish quarter, El Call, the Arab baths or the Basilica of Sant Feliu, with its historically valuable tombstones and distinctive truncated tower, are also noteworthy.
There are seven museums in Gron. Especially worth a visit is the Archaeological Museum, founded in 1846, with exhibits dating back to the Paleolithic period and later objects excavated in various locations throughout the province. Also noteworthy is the Cathedral's Museum-Temple with an exhibition of sacred art, where the most valuable object is the Tapestry of Creation from 1100.
.You can fly into Girona, as the city has its own airport - Girona-Costa Brava. Sagales buses run from the airport. A good option for getting to this Catalan city is also by bus. Our buses stop at the bus stop located at the main train station in the city. It will be best to get around Grono on foot, as the distances are not too long and the historic part of the city can be visited in a day.
