Situated on the Polish and Slovakian border, the Dunajec gorges offer amazing views  of the Pieniny region.    

Europe

After almost half a century of being under supervision, Poland has been slowly, but surely, opening its doors to the world over the past twenty years. Vibrant and dynamic, one of its main attractions is its striking blend of modernism and archaism. The towns boast many different sights: the capital of Warsaw is a showcase of the country’s new modernity, while the picturesque Krakow and Gdansk seem at times to be set in another era. Equally, you can discover dreamy landscapes, from the Baltic beaches to the many lush and unspoilt natural areas (natural parks, ‘the land of the thousand lakes’). But Poland also has a very heavy history, which you can, and should, discover, by visiting sites charged with history, such as the Warsaw ghetto and the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. To visit Poland is to discover a world of contrasts, a country focused on the future, and the scars it wears preserve an authenticity that forms all its charm.

The Wieliczka Royal Salt Mines are easy to get to from Kraków.  You can therefore go on an afternoon's excursion to them. 

Wieliczka

A cold city at first sight, but a good place to come to terms with. Warsaw is a footprint of history and this history is still too often little-known.

The first winter sports resort on the Polish side of the Tatras, Zakopane has managed to retain all of its old-world charm with its many wooden chalets.

 The town of Malbork is home to an incredible Gothic castle constructed from red bricks. One of Poland's most impressive castles, it is actually the largest in Europe.

I went to Malbork without really knowing what to expect there during my trip to Poland. The only interesting thing the town has to offer is its castle (which is well worth visiting). Once I got up close to what is one of the most extraordinary and best preserved buildings you could imagine, I found myself mightily impressed! The interior of Malbork Castle is almost as impressive as its exterior, with its exceptionally large number of rooms (which you can visit), its dungeons, and the many exhibitions there are on display, such as one about amber, which is found in abundance in the local region. The downside is that the town of Malbork itself is as ugly as the castle is beautiful: it is simply made up of a succession of concrete buildings and is completely lacking in charm. It's difficult to believe that such a beautiful castle could be located in an environment like this!
