Wadowice is located in Malopolska province on the Skawa River about 50 kilometers southwest of Krakow. It is inhabited by just over 18,000 people. The town impresses with its unusual climate, which is only enhanced by its small size and the surrounding mountains of Beskid Maly. Today, they are primarily a place of pilgrimage and excursions for the faithful not only from Poland, but also from all over Europe.
Being in Wadowice, the first thing to do is to head to the John Paul II Square, surrounded by 19th-century tenement houses, with a monument to this most famous Wadowice resident and the beautifully restored Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Inside it, the noteworthy features include the historic main altar, beautiful polychrome paintings on the walls of the chapels and the miraculous image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This church is inextricably linked with Karol Wojtyla, who lived nearby and received important sacraments there. Visitors to Wadowice often direct their steps to the museum located in the family home of the Polish pope, where many memorabilia related to him can be found. Of course, being in this town, it is impossible not to taste the famous papal kremówki, the most famous Wadowice specialty.

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!
