Olesno is a small town in Opole Province on the Stobrawa River with a history dating back to the 13th century, although traces of human habitation in the area date back to the Neolithic Age.
The biggest attraction worth seeing here is the St. Anne's indulgenced church of unusual architecture, located on the trail of wooden religious buildings in Opole province. Seen from a bird's eye view, it resembles a five-petaled flower or star. The oldest church in the city is St. Michael's Church, built in the 14th century, which after numerous reconstructions represents a mixture of Gothic and Baroque. Other noteworthy churches in and around Olesno are the St. Roch's Shrine or the one dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene - both wooden. Olesno's historical and cultural heritage, meanwhile, is presented by the Regional Museum.
Walking around Olesno, one can come across the remains of the medieval city walls, the 19th century Jewish cemetery or the wreck of a Soviet Antonov An-24 plane, which is a big attraction at the local resort. The city is surrounded by pine forests with numerous hiking and biking trails, meadows and small lakes and ponds. At the northwestern borders of Olesno there is a miraculous spring with water with healing properties.
The S11 national road, as well as provincial roads, runs through Olesno. There is also a railroad station and a bus station organized into a city transfer center. Our Olesno buses stop there, from where it is only 850 meters to walk to the city center.

Basel is Switzerland's third-largest city and the only one with a port - a river port, of course. It is located on the Swiss border with Germany and France on the Rhine River. The city abounds in numerous historical monuments, and is also famous for its great cuisine and dozens of museums and art galleries.
The first place to visit is the local old town, with its Gothic cathedral, dark red town hall, Spalen gate (one of three still standing) and the famous white and blue houses. Around the square are picturesque narrow streets with many historic houses. The observation deck behind the cathedral offers a view of the Rhine River and the other side of the city.
Of Basel's museums, it's worth visiting the Tinguely Museum - a prominent Swiss sculptor and painter working in the 1950s and 1960s, famous especially for constructing moving installations and machines, or the Natural History Museum with its huge collection of fossils, remains of prehistoric animals, where you can also learn about the history of the creation of the Alps and the entire region. Also noteworthy is the Museum of Art, one of the most important cultural institutions in the country, full of famous works of art from the 15th century to the present day.
Because of its location at the meeting point of three borders, Basel is somewhat different from the rest of Swiss cities. It combines different cultures, languages and flavors. What is the best gourmet city in Switzerland? We answer - Basel. Restaurants in the city are highly rated. Among others, it is worth going to Le Rhin Bleu, a restaurant suspended on a special platform over the Rhine. There is also a market hall (Markthalle) near the train station, with more than a dozen restaurants that are inexpensive for Switzerland and serve tasty cuisine from all over the world.
You can get to Basel by plane, flying to France's Saint-Louis airport, from which you take a city bus to Switzerland. Alternatively, you can take the Basel long-distance bus, which stops just outside Basel's main train station. You can find a list of available connections on our website. Feel free to board our buses!
