Holidays to Poland are an adventure through the old castles and big-hitter mountains of eastern Europe.
A taste of culture
Poland has a whopping 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, from the sombre WWII memorial at Auschwitz-Birkenau to the preserved Medieval town of Torun. The latter was built in the 13th century. The cobbly lanes here still look as good as a life-sized postcard, and traditional eateries pile their 'pierogis' – dumplings – high with sour cream.
Brimming with buildings
Head down to the south of the country and you'll find Krakow, with its architecturally incredible old town. Admire the contrasting Gothic spires of St Mary's Basilica, be baffled by the mishmashed design features of the Renaissance Royal Palace, or just peer around the cute streets as you stroll through the city.
High on adventure
The Tatra Mountains in southern Poland are perfect for Alpine sports. Hike up Giewont's three peaks, take a cable car to a snowy summit or glide down Kasprowy Wierch on skis. When you're done adventuring for the day, refuel with a steaming bowl of kwasnica cabbage soup in the icy town of Zakopane.
