Vacation in Poland

Between the Baltic Sea and the High Tatras - if you go on holiday to Poland, you can expect pleasant surprises, because it has a lot to offer: high mountains, wide beaches, countless lakes and old towns that are well worth seeing. Poland is diverse and city trips as well as hiking holidays and beach holidays are possible there.

The Polish Baltic coast is full of secluded spots. From Zakopane it goes on hiking trails up into the mountains of the High Tatras. In winter, cross-country and downhill skiing are possible here. In addition to the numerous historic old towns, Poland has various nature parks and protected areas that are worth seeing.

Event highlights

Warsaw beckons with a wealth of offers all year round. For example, friends of classical music can be enchanted by the works of Beethoven and Chopin every spring. In May young people meet and talk about the future of Europe. At the end of this mutual encounter, the annual Schuman Parade takes place. The namesake is Robert Schuman, who co-founded the European Union. Another highlight in Warsaw's calendar of events is the Polish solstice celebration in June. In addition, the western side of the Vistula will be car-free, and visitors can enjoy regional food and drink with live music. In the evening there is a big fireworks display on the river.

The venerable university city of Krakow attracts every year with a colorful program of film, literature and music events.

Sights

Krakow, the fascinating metropolis on the Vistula, was the capital of the Kingdom of Poland until 1596 and is still considered the “secret capital of Poland” to this day. In the historic old town of Krakow you will find most of the sights around the impressive Rynek Główny, the main market. Here you can marvel at the Marienkirche with the largest Gothic high altar in Europe, the imposing cloth halls in the Renaissance style and the somewhat crooked town hall tower from the 13th century.

What would a trip to Poland be without visiting its capital? Warsaw (Polish: Warszawa) is also the largest city in the country with just under 1.8 million inhabitants and is home to many cultural highlights. These include the historic old town, which was rebuilt after its complete destruction in World War II and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980. In addition to many richly decorated town houses, there is also the Gothic St. John's Cathedral and the imposing Royal Castle, the former seat of the Dukes of Mazovia and later the Polish kings.

Gourmet paradise

Poland is one of the countries with the highest meat consumption in the world. But Polish cuisine has even more to offer. The bagel comes geographically from Poland and there are many dough products and soups that are among the specialties here. Pierogi are THE Polish national dish! In terms of shape and texture, the dumplings are not so dissimilar to Italian ravioli, but they are filled and combined much more heartily. The classics are pierogi ruski ("Russian style"), which are filled with a mixture of boiled, mashed potatoes and quark. Everything that the Poles particularly appreciate from a culinary point of view is allowed in a bigos - namely sauerkraut, white cabbage, bacon, lots of meat.
