Zabrze is a city between Gliwice and Bytom located in Upper Silesia. It is inhabited by nearly 157,000 people. Its name signifies a settlement located behind debry, or hills covered with forest thicket. Although Zabrze as a city has existed since 1922, it has a much longer history. The first mention of its current district, then the settlement of Biskupice, dates back to 1243, and Zabrze is mentioned in documents from the early 14th century. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, Zabrze developed as an industrial center - coal mines and a steel mill were established.
It may seem that there is nothing interesting to see there, but the city is full of interesting attractions not found anywhere else in Poland. In Zabrze you can see many brilliantly revitalized remnants of its industrial and mining past, such as the Królowa Luiza Adit, once the pride of mining engineers, today one of the biggest attractions of the Silesian province offering interesting attractions both underground and on the surface. The Guido Mine is also a must-see, allowing visitors to descend more than 300 meters below the surface and traverse nearly 5 kilometers of underground trails there, familiarizing themselves with the hard work of miners. Another similar attraction is Maciej Shaft, a complex of buildings of the former Concordia Mine.
Zabrze is located by the A4 and A1 highways. National and provincial roads run through it. There is also a railroad station and the Zabrze PKS bus station, which is located on Goethe Street in the city center. Our buses depart from PKS Zabrze station but also from the bus stop located at Plac Warszawski.
.Berno is located in the central part of Switzerland. It is inhabited by 130,000 people. It is often said that the city is the Swiss capital, which is not quite true. Bern only has the status of a federal city, and Switzerland is a confederation of cantons and has no established capital. However, the authorities administering the country reside in Bern.
.The city's symbol and one of its most important monuments is the late Gothic cathedral - the largest church in Bern, as well as in all of Switzerland. Take a stroll through the old town full of historic buildings, visit the Paul Klee center with its exceptionally rich collection of his works, or see the former home of the world's most famous physicist. Bern is the city of Einstein. The Nobel laureate lived and worked here from 1902 to 1914. The building at Kramgasse 49, in the Bernese old town, houses his apartment, where you can now see numerous photos and personal memorabilia of Albert Einstein.
Bern is an important transportation hub, where central authorities, many foreign companies and international organizations are headquartered. From our country, unfortunately, you will not find direct flights to Bern by plane. The best option will be to travel by bus or your own car. Bus to Bern is a much more economical choice, since traveling from Poland, you have to reckon with highway tolls and considerable costs incurred on fuel. If you are interested in coaches to Switzerland and want to visit Bern, Geneva or Sankt Gallen, a list of available connections to these and other cities can be found on our website.
