Let there not have the sea or the ocean coast, there is no lake with lively features, but the Koshice is resting under the protection of impressive peaks of super mountain, in the river valley. The history of the city is very violent and restless, a lot of her pages is associated with wars. However, tourists continuously go here from all the ends of the earth not only to admire the militarist exhibits. For example, the Museum of Technology will clearly be interesting not only to men and their sons. Bastion of the executioner or a plague column will also leave his mark in the soul of a curious traveler. Cathedrals and monasteries of various denominations welcome all tourists. Beautiful outside, inside these rooms and amaze delighted viewers with their paintings on the walls, sculptures and other interior details. In short, and cultural collapsions, and unhurried hiking will take away the sea of pleasure.
