POLKOWICE bus to MONCHENGLADBACH
POLKOWICE
Polkowice is located in the Lower Silesian province northwest of Wroclaw. This small town has a population of more than 22,000 and is primarily famous as a so-called copper town belonging to the Legnica-Glogów Copper District. However, its history goes back much further than the years of the 19th-century industrial revolution. In 1291 Polkowice was granted a city charter, having previously been a market settlement on the trade route between Glogow and Legnica.
When visiting Polkowice, it is essential to see the well-preserved market square, full of colorful tenement houses, together with the town hall building dating back to the 18th century and the Gothic church of St. Michael the Archangel dating back to 1679. The symbol and unquestionable attraction of Polkowice is the Dutch windmill, inside of which you can learn more about the history of this Piast stronghold at the dawn of time, and from the observation deck at its top admire the panorama of the city.
An ideal place for those who want active rest in the midst of nature and greenery will be the Central Park of Fun and Leisure located in the center of Polkowice. On its territory you will find an amphitheater, a playground, a fountain or even an open-air library.

MONCHENGLADBACH
The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. This is actually the center of the city, so you'll reach the nearest and one of the city's most important landmarks, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.
And heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.
Getting to and from Moenchengladbach - why visit the city and what to see before a Borussia match?
If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.
In our opinion, the Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worth a visit. There, works by Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.
In addition, Monchengladbach can be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodations in Monchengladbach should be somewhat lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar virtually for a whole week.
