OSTROLEKA bus to BASEL
OSTROLEKA
Wondering what non-obvious travel destination to choose? Where you haven't been before, and perhaps worth going? Between Warsaw and Bialystok lies a small town of great historical importance. We are, of course, talking about Ostroleka, a small town, but how important, for example, in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Back then it was a significant point on the trade route between Warsaw and Vilnius.
Why is it worth coming to Ostroleka?
Ostroleka is not a large city, so many important and worth seeing sights are located close together. Let's say the Museum of Kurpie Culture is located right next to the Old Town or the bridge named after Antoni Madalinski, yet these are the most important and characteristic points of Ostroleka. What's more, in Kadzidlo there is Zagroda Kurpiowska, which is a kind of open-air museum full of cottages and farm buildings from the 19th century, for example.
Ostroleka also has a well-preserved old town, the street layout is identical to that of the fourteenth century, however, it should be pointed out that due to its turbulent history and, among other things, the damage sustained, for example, during the First World War, the building of the town hall located right on the market square is no longer what it was in the nineteenth century.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a respite on a warm day, and happen to be in Ostroleka, or want to take a break from sightseeing, it is worth going to the city beach, as the city is clearly located on the Narew River.

BASEL
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.
Basel - attractions of the city
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.
