Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine the accessibility of selected attractions and tourist services in Zabrze, in the context of the transformed concept of a x-minute city, and to orient it towards the tourist perspective.

Design/methodology/approach: The goal was achieved through the analysis of urban infrastructure, publicly available maps, and software used to study the range of pedestrian traffic.

Findings: The potential of Zabrze to become an x-minute tourist city was identified. All necessary services are within a 15-minute reach, similar to half of the identified tourist attractions.

Research limitations/implications: From the perspective of tourism managers, it would be interesting to conduct an analysis of the surroundings of tourist attractions. This would allow for the identification of what tourist services are available within the x-minute radius of the facility. Research on the walkability of the area can also play a significant role.

Originality/value: Looking at the idea of an x-minute city from a tourist's perspective is interesting. This viewpoint can be a starting point for creating and developing tourist-friendly cities.(original abstract)
