Poland is a fascinating vacation destination thanks to its various landscapes, the long sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea and the Giant Mountains in the south. Masuria in the northeast of Poland is also known for its natural beauty. 3000 lakes, some of which are connected by canals and rivers, invite visitors to enjoy a wide variety of water sports. Poland also has a lot to offer in terms of culture. There are many historical sights, interesting museums, art exhibitions, gothic churches and magnificent castles. Especially worth seeing are the cities of Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw, which inspire with magnificent architecture. The main market in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. The colorful Renaissance and Baroque-era town houses that surround it are eye-catching, as are the Town Hall Tower and St. Mary’s Church. The “cultural center” of Poland, however, is Krakow, the former capital where Polish kings were based. Krakow’s center is one of the best preserved medieval city centers in Europe and offers an overwhelming sight of Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance urban splendor. In the largest city in Lower Silesia, Wroclaw, don’t miss the famous cathedral and the gorgeous botanical gardes. On the Cathedral Island, the oldest part of the city, you will also find the sacral buildings worth seeing and the imposing St. John’s Cathedral. 

In addition to impressive buildings, Poland can also shine with important personalities such as the composer and world musician Fryderyk Chopin, who was born near Warsaw. He is considered the great musical representative of Polish Romanticism. In his works, he dealt with the Polish uprisings of his time the longing for a free Poland. In exile in Paris, he was therefore considered the ambassador of Poland. Chopin’s birthplace in Zelazowas Wola now serves as a museum dedicated to Chopin’s memory and as a concert venue.
