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.

 Płock lies northwest of Warsaw, and its location on the banks of the Vistula makes it a very nice and pleasant city.

For me, the city of Płock is one of the essential places to see when visiting Poland. Not having travelled around the whole country, I am not familiar with every town and city in Poland. However, I don't believe I'm mistaken when I say that the panoramic views Płock offers over the Vistula, the country's main river, are amongst the most beautiful you can hope to see anywhere in Poland. Płock actually stands on the banks of this river, which makes it a very pleasant city in which to go walking. There are also various places for you to see as you wander around. I was lucky enough to visit Płock Cathedral, with its truly magnificent architecture.
