10 Things to See on Holiday in Poland
Poland is a country often associated with foreign rule but on closer inspection one always seems to be baffled by the resilience and patience of its people who never seem to bother about their past but relish on everything that Poland excels in. We know that the tallest free standing structure in the World has already collapsed but there are more credible and interesting reasons to visit and holiday in Poland. Here they are:
1. To feel the real Warsaw, visit the old town which takes back visitors many centuries. Among its wooden houses, there are hordes of homeless people, beggars and drunks who mingle harmlessly with the well dressed suited upper class citizens.
2. Visit Northern Poland to pay homage to the many Knights who guarded one of the Christian World’s many secrets. The Gothic castles such as Malbork are spread across this peaceful Polish countryside.
3. You don’t have to visit any place to meet one of the friendliest people on earth who flock to nearby café’s and bar to sip Vodka and share their stories.
4. Visit one of the extermination camps of the Nazi empire. The overbearing sorrow leaves many changed, forever.
5. The Slowinski National Park is a grand manifestation of a natural paradise. It offers meandering pathways along the picture post card perfect scenery. The meadows, sand dunes, lakes and woods make it among the finest in Europe.
6. Krakow is a model of a Central European city. If you have to visit just one city then let this be your choice. It has received innumerable accolades from architects, artists and historians who unravel in its well preserved roads, bridges, islets and other structures.
7. Canoe along the waterways of Great Masurian Lakes system which offers plenty of picnic spots and a seemingly endless plethora of beautiful spots.
8. Zakopane is Poland’s winter capital which offers ski lifts, cable cars, snowboarding and every other imaginable sport.
9. Find a spa along the most awe inspiring leisurely trip in Poland. A visit to Dunajec Gorge will make you stay there forever.
10. Torun is possibly the most Polish of all towns in the country. It is a port town that is not commercialized but not sleepy, either. Visit the city’s old town which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
