Ανακαλύψτε: Poland

Poland is one of Central Europe’s most rewarding and best-value destinations: the royal old town of Kraków, the rebuilt heart of Warsaw, the Hanseatic port of Gdańsk and the island bridges of Wrocław each have a distinct character, while the Tatra mountains around Zakopane and the lakes of Masuria open up the outdoors. Summers are warm and packed with festivals; winters bring some of Europe’s most atmospheric Christmas markets.

Each city rewards a slow visit. Kraków pairs a UNESCO market square and Wawel Castle with the moving history of nearby Auschwitz; Warsaw mixes a meticulously reconstructed Old Town with a fast-moving food and nightlife scene; Gdańsk and the Tricity bring amber, Baltic beaches and the Open’er festival; and Wrocław charms with its market square, hidden bronze dwarfs and gas-lit Cathedral Island.
