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.

Home to a magnificent chain of mountains, Tatra National Park seems to rise up out of the surrounding plains like a mirage, and its wonderful landscapes and scenery are one of the prides of Slovakia.

Tatra National Park is located in the centre of the country and serves as a kind of natural barrier between the more prosperous West and the economically more underdeveloped East. The landscape and scenery of the park is utterly beautiful. Its dizzying summits, though reaching heights of "only" 8,500 feet, are made particularly steep and impressive by the absence of any foothills. Quite a small national park considering the number of mountains it contains, in summer it offers incredible opportunities for hiking, with something to suit walkers of all levels and abilities, and the ski slopes here in winter are excellent. It is also famous as a natural reserve for wild plants and animals , with Tatra National Park home to one of the highest concentrations of bears in Europe. Definitely one of the essential places to see and visit in Slovakia.
