Overview

Situated at the crossroads of Europe, Poland is a country that has been torn up, battered around, and is now rising again to offer to travellers some extremely unique experiences.

Medieval clashes with modern, and from the historic Gdańsk to the slick Warsaw, Poland is a relatively untapped gem ready to be your next unique European experience.

Vast forests and mountains as dark as chapters of it’s past, Poland is rich land of stories and legends, of traditions and innovation, all served with lashings of vodka.

Wieliczka Salt Mine

A twisting, shining labyrinth of something near 300km of tunnels and chambers reaching deep as 327m underground, the Wieliczka Salt Mine is a treasure trove of stunning sculpture and subterranean chapels.

A shining example of human engineering ability.

Malbork Castle

An immense, intimidating castle with an equally immense history, this 13th-century Teutonic fortress is, firstly just plain massive, and secondly, a great showpiece to sum up the different powers that have battled over Poland over the centuries.

There’s an awful lot to be learned behind those thick, dust-red walls.

Kraków

Kraków has established itself as somewhat of a phoenix. Sacked, conquered, invaded, dictated, it ha
