Poland Vacations

Thanks to its historic royal castles, fortresses and ancient religious landmarks, Poland is a prime vacation destination for history buffs and sightseers. Europe’s largest medieval square is the Rynek Glowny, or Main Market Square, in Krakow. The outdoor cafés that encircle this 10-acre square offer prime people-watching and views of several architecturally stunning landmarks, including the Basilica of the Virgin Mary.

Poland’s capital and largest city, Warsaw, boasts the Royal Castle, the official residence of the Polish monarchy. Though much of the city’s historic Old Town district was destroyed during World War II, it has been restored to its pre-War condition.

Poland offers plenty of outdoor adventure as well, with rivers and thick forests perfect for hiking in the lowlands. The northern Baltic coast features watersports along sandy beaches, while the hills and mountains to the south are excellent for biking.
