Mannheim - sights and attractions of the square city
It is best to start visiting Mannheim from the old town, designed according to the 18th-century baroque urban layout resembling a checkerboard. Hence it is common to refer to Mannheim as the "square city." An important attraction there is the Mannheim Palace - the largest Baroque building of its kind and the second largest in Europe, just after the Palace of Versailles. Its richly decorated, impressive interiors are worth seeing.
Another of the city's symbols is a sandstone water tower from 1889 surrounded by a small park. Also worth a visit is the Baroque Jesuit church dating from the first half of the 18th century. The temple, dedicated to Saints Ignatius Loyola and Francis Xavier, has several beautiful side altars, interesting frescoes and a Baroque organ inside.

ELK
In Elk you will find two city beaches, both of which are sandy, although in truth in high season it will probably be difficult to find even a meter of free space anyway. There is also a sizable park, several children's playgrounds and a bunch of playrooms. Elk also has an interesting museum, offering, among other things, a ride on a narrow-gauge train.
How to get to and from Elk - buses and timetables
To get from or to Elk, for example, you can use a bus. Buses Sindbad leave from Elk's PKS station, which is located right next to the railroad station. Therefore, if you happen to be going to Elk by train, but then want to change to another means of transport, the change itself will not take you more than a few minutes.
In our opinion, however, it is worth getting to Elk by bus, as trains in high season can be overloaded with people heading to the Baltic cities.
The PKS station in Elk, despite the fact that Google shows that it no longer exists, still serves our buses. It may not currently be as impressive as Elk's train station, but nevertheless our buses go to and from Elk from station one.
