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

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.

In my personal opinion, Wrocław combines all the best features of Polish towns and cities together in one place, and this is why it's one of my favourite large urban destinations in the whole country. In a word, it's magnificent. Like Kraków, Wrocław has a quite beautiful city centre and old town area, which as in many Polish towns and cities has a wonderfully impressive main square as its central feature. And it's a place that feels good to be: the pace is relaxed and easy-going, and there are various local parks here, brightening up the urban landscape with touches of green. Additionally, Wrocław is also one of the most dynamic, happening cities in the whole country; and this is true both from an economic point of view (it is one of Poland's largest industrial centres) and from a cultural and social one, due to the numerous theatres and galleries to be found in the city and the vitality (including in a festive sense) the large student population brings to it. In summary, Wrocław is a city that is simply guaranteed not to disappoint. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending you come here during your trip to Poland.
