It has been known for a long time that the Silesian Voivodeship is not only mines and gray-tinted landscapes, yet common opinions still make the region uninteresting in terms of tourism. And wrongly - it may not have as many attractive places as, for example, Masuria or the Sudetes, but it is enough to spend even a few days in it to find out that it has its charm. What can we see interesting in Silesia? There are quite a few old towns in the province that are worth visiting. The historic part can be proud of, among others Częstochowa, Cieszyn, Pszczyna and Gliwice, as well as Rybnik, Żory and Bielsko-Biała. Those who like castles should visit Lubliniec, Będzin, Olsztyn near Częstochowa or Podzamcze near Ogrodzieniec. Supporters of sacred tourism will surely visit the Jasna Góra Monastery, but during a trip around Silesia , they can also visit the basilicas in Pszów and Piekary Śląskie or the sanctuary in Turza Śląska. People who love history and culture can follow the Wooden Architecture Trail , including over 90 historic buildings, ranging from chapels, through forester's lodges and taverns, to bell towers. While in Gliwice, tourists often direct their steps to the Piast Castle, as well as to ul. Tarnogórska, where there is a wooden broadcasting tower entered on the list of Historical Monuments - the Gliwice radio station . It is the tallest existing wooden structure in Europe and the tallest wooden broadcasting tower in the world (111 m).
