About Poland
Poland offers a compelling mix of medieval history, vibrant cities, and remarkable affordability compared to Western Europe. Krakow's beautifully preserved Old Town and the haunting Wieliczka Salt Mine are among the country's most visited attractions, while the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial is an essential and deeply moving historical site.
Warsaw, the capital, was meticulously rebuilt after World War II and now features a fascinating blend of reconstructed historic architecture and modern skyscrapers. Gdansk on the Baltic coast charms visitors with its colorful merchant houses and maritime heritage. Poland uses the Polish zloty rather than the Euro, which helps keep costs low for travelers.
