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.

A city of 500,000 inhabitants, Poznań is a place I particularly enjoyed visiting. The city centre here is simply wonderful, especially its completely cobbled main square with its little Baroque houses in all their various colours. You can find locals and tourists congregated in the lively bars and cafes here at all times of day. This is what I adored about Poznań: its fundamentally lively and dynamic student atmosphere. It seems to have its own very particular character and feel, which makes it a very enjoyable place in which to spend an extended amount of time. Lively during the day and festive in the evening, Poznań is in my opinion one of the essential places to see when travelling around western Poland, especially with the city containing so many museums as well as historic and religious sites: enough to keep you occupied for at least a few days.
