Gelsenkirchen - Germany, how to get here?

Gelsenkirchen is located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is part of the Ruhr region, about which a little more in a moment. It is the largest conurbation and the most urbanized part of the country of our western neighbors. One of the hallmarks of this part of Germany is well-developed rail transportation and a dense network of good-quality roads and highways, which also benefit tourists visiting the region. Gelsenkirchen can be reached from Poland by plane, as well as by car or coach. Airlines offer cheap tickets from Poland to neighboring Dortmund, among others. However, it should be remembered that there are many limitations associated with the sky means of transport: connections are made only on selected days of the week, conditions on board are not the most comfortable, and if you add the cost of baggage and airport transfers to the flight itself, the trip can be a serious blow to the wallet. Not surprisingly, many people traveling to Germany choose their own car and eagerly use the local free highways. Those who can't afford the luxury of traveling in their own cars are eager to choose coach carriers. Among the many proposals available on the transport market, the company's offer Sindbad takes the lead. Modern coaches with the logo Sindbad run regularly to Gelsenkirchen from many Polish cities.
