20 things to know before visiting Kraków

Aug 14, 2022 • 10 min read

The only major city that wasn’t reduced to rubble during WWII, Kraków is Poland ’s most charming urban destination. 

The millennia-old seat of kings, it’s home to a fairytale castle steeped in legends of dragons, a Unesco-listed, picture-perfect, church spire- and monument-studded Old Town that’s a match for any European city, as well as one of Europe’s oldest universities that fuels a frenetic nightlife scene. Its popularity requires some advance planning, and while Cracovians are generally easygoing when it comes to dress code and speaking to strangers, there are some notable exceptions to the former. 

It’s worth remembering that despite outward similarities with liberal Western European cities, Kraków is very, very Polish. Religion is central to many people’s lives, old mindsets die hard (especially if you’re a member of the LGBTIQ+ community), and weird laws and numerous scams may trip the unwary. Luckily, we’re here to help you navigate your way past any potential pitfalls.     

Pack for the right season and for all occasions

Kraków has a continental climate, so your packing list will vary considerably, depending on the time of year you travel. Winters are cold and snowy, often with piercing, icy winds, while summers can be scorching. Most of the time, layers are key, except during the warmest months, when all you’ll want is lightweight, breathable summer wear. A warm, waterproof coat, hat and gloves are a must for autumn and winter. Bring an umbrella or a rain jacket for year-round downpours. Kraków is mostly informal, but consider bringing a dressy outfit or two if you intend to hit the clubbing scene.

Stay in the best neighborhoods for sightseeing

For a city of its size, Kraków is surprisingly compact, so it’s easy enough to flit between its neighborhoods, either on foot or using public transport. Still, most visitors – especially first-timers – tend to base themselves in one of three prominent, attraction-heavy neighborhoods.

The most popular is the medieval Old Town in central Kraków, with its wealth of must-see sights, legendary cellar bars and cobbled lanes. Others choose adjacent Kazimierz, the artistic bohemian ‘hood that was a center of Jewish culture before the war and is now enjoying a revival. Alternatively, head south of the river to Podgórze, the up-and-coming former Jewish ghetto where Steven Spielberg shot much of Schindler’s List .

Book tickets for popular attractions in advance

Few of Kraków’s museums and attractions require advance bookings, but the must-see sights do, so if you have your heart set on visiting any of the following, make arrangements online ahead of time. Exhibitions inside Wawel Royal Castle book up weeks in advance in summer, as do group tours of Auschwitz (though solo travelers may wander around without joining a guided tour). Entry to Rynek Underground and Schindler’s Factory is via timed slot, so buy your ticket a few days before your visit.

Pack your ISIC card and consider getting a Kraków Card

Numerous Kraków attractions offer discounts to bearers of ISIC and other associated cards. If you’re planning on frenetic bouts of sightseeing and heavy use of public transport, it’s worth getting a Kraków Card (1, 2 or 3 days) that gives you free entry to 39 museums, free use of public transport and more. If you favor a more relaxed stay, skip the Kraków Card.

Make reservations for Kraków’s best restaurants ahead of time

Kraków’s dining scene is Poland’s most diverse, and while walk-ins are acceptable for most restaurants, book ahead – particularly if traveling during the busy summer season – if you plan to dine out at any of the following, to name a few: Restauracja Wierzynek (14th-century royal restaurant), Morskie Oko (updated take on regional cuisine), Szara Gęś w Kuchni Restaurant (upscale Polish fare served in a Gothic dining room), Trzy Gęsi Restaurant (fine dining; goose a speciality), Cyrano de Bergerac (atmospheric brick cellar serving fine French fare) or Pod Nosem (Michelin-star, memorable Polish dishes).  

Acquire some zloty in advance

Even though Poland is part of the EU, it retains its own currency – the Polish Zloty (zł). Kraków is largely cashless, and you can use your credit or debit card pretty much anywhere; if paying by card, always pay in zloty rather than your home currency to avoid being hit with conversion charges and a crappy exchange rate. Exceptions to cashless transactions include newsagents, public toilets, small shops and outdoor vendors, so it’s wise to have some zloty on you for those occasions. Many of these exceptions will refuse to break a large note for you, so hang on to your loose change.

Have some loose change ready for public toilets

If you find yourself mystified by the symbols on the doors in Kraków’s public toilets, it's a triangle for men and a circle for women. Bear in mind that many public facilities – even in bars and restaurants where you’re part of the clientele – often charge a nominal fee for use, so have some loose change ready. 

Have a puff (or don’t) in smoking areas of Kraków’s many cafes

While smoking in public places in Kraków is illegal, those who enjoy a puff will be thrilled to know that many cafes, bars and restaurants have retained designated indoor smoking spaces, sealed off from the rest of the establishment. While this amounts to cancer-inducing, smoke-filled broom cupboards in many cases, some establishments have opted to allocate a tiny space to non-smokers, giving the vaping and smoking clientele the lion’s share of the place. Such smoker-friendly establishments include Eszeweria, Klub Re and Jama Michalika .  

Tip at least 10% in restaurants

It’s customary to tip servers and bar staff in Kraków. Locals will tip around 10% of the bill if eating out, or round up the bill at the very least. Paying 1zl tip per drink in bars is standard and a good idea if the bar is busy and you’d like to be served promptly.

Dress up for nightclubs

With a population of 200,000 students, Kraków is rumored to have more bars than people, and while anything goes in most places dress code-wise, Old Town’s nightclubs are a bit fussier. Check ahead whether that means no trainers, or whether you’re expected to go full suit and tie or dress, and be aware that some places exercise ‘face control’, meaning that they turn you away if you’re deemed insufficiently attractive. It’s no use arguing with the bouncers; in fact, it’s best not even to make eye contact with them.

Strike up conversations with locals

Unlike cities such as London and New York, where striking up conversations with strangers is a massive faux pas, especially on public transport, Cracovians are a polite and approachable bunch who genuinely enjoy talking to foreigners and are happy to give directions if you’re lost. While English is not widely spoken among older generations, many students and hospitality staff speak excellent English.

Remember that Kraków’s churches are not museums

The majority of Poles (over 75%) are Catholic. Very Catholic. If your experience of the Christian faith involves attending church twice a year (if that), Polish enthusiasm for Catholicism may come as a surprise. There is more to Polish Catholicism than the solemn, opulent processions commemorating holy relics and saints, some of which you may be lucky to witness.

For many, Catholicism has long been a source of national and social unity and provided solace during Communist times, when religious practices were driven underground. So if you visit one of  Kraków’s many churches , remember that they are revered places of worship and treat them with the utmost respect.

Avoid inadvertently breaking the law

Be mindful of not breaking laws that may not exist in your home country. Dressing up and partying hard is fine, but if you’re foolish enough to appear hammered or make a public nuisance of yourself in front of the local police, expect a 500zl fine, a strip search and an overnight stay in the drunk tank on ul Rozrywka with fellow disheveled vagrants. Riding public transport without a valid ticket and jaywalking (crossing against the light or not on a pedestrian crossing) will also earn you an on-the-spot fine of 100zl.  

Be aware of local attitudes towards the LGBTIQ+ community

Poland is a hardcore Catholic country, with anti-LGBTIQ+ sentiment rife among a sizable chunk of the population. While it’s difficult to describe it as explicitly LGBTIQ-friendly, Kraków is the most liberal of Poland’s cities; in 2022, Kraków’s annual Pride parade celebrated its 18 th anniversary.

Attitudes towards the LGBTIQ+ community in Kraków are slowly improving. However, public displays of affection (with the socially acceptable exception of hand-holding between young women) are likely to attract jeers and sometimes outright violence – particularly on the high nightlife streets of Floriańska and Szewska on the weekends. That said, numerous nightlife venues in Kraków are either LGBTIQ-tolerant ( Movida , Kraina Szeptów , Lastriko ) or outright LGBTIQ-friendly ( Szpitalna 1 , Spolem Deluxe ).

Do drink the tap water…maybe

Kraków’s tap water is officially deemed safe to drink, and many locals do, while others avoid it because the quality may be affected by the antique plumbing in many of the older buildings. So if gastric Russian roulette is not your thing, you may wish to drink bottled water or at least purify the tap water first. Speaking of water: it’s not complimentary in Kraków’s restaurants and usually comes in tiny glasses unless you order a large bottle of gazowana (carbonated water) and niegazowana (still water).

Dial the foreigner-friendly lines in case of emergency

While Kraków generally has a low crime rate compared to many Western European cities, visitors need to watch out for pickpockets on public transport and other busy public places and be aware of various scams. Besides the standard emergency number (112 for ambulance, police or fire department), Kraków has separate lines for English and German-speaking foreigners in distress wishing to report a scam or stolen property:  +48 608 599 999 or +48 22 278 77 77, reachable by mobile phone or landline.

Use a private clinic in the case of a medical emergency

If you have a medical emergency, call a private clinic (a list is available from your country’s embassy) rather than deal with the hassle and long queues in one of Kraków’s hospitals.

Avoid bar scams

Given Kraków’s general popularity with foreign visitors, particularly with stag and hen parties from abroad, it’s little wonder that numerous scams exist to take advantage of the inebriated and unwary. In Old Town, avoid promoters outside ‘gentlemen’s clubs’ (often disguised as whisky bars) who try to lure men in with promises of discounted drinks. Once inside, you’ll be told when paying by card that the payment didn’t go through when they are, in fact, charging you multiple times.  Some travelers have reported having their drinks spiked to make them more intoxicated and easier to take advantage of.

If you’re a foreign man, be wary of attractive women taking a massive interest in you and convincing you to take them to a bar (where, unbeknown to you, they are employed) and buy them a drink, whereby you’ll be charged stratospheric prices for the drinks and intimidated by thuggish bouncers into paying up. Also, be aware that when you order drinks in bars and clubs, it’s important to specify your preferred brand of alcohol; otherwise, the bar staff will automatically reach for the most expensive top-shelf brands, as they make a commission on the drinks they sell. There’s no shame in asking for the cheapest option on the menu.

Dodge dodgy currency exchanges

You can change currency into zloty anywhere with a ‘Kantor’ sign, but beware of dodgy 24-hour currency exchanges offering 0% commission on the exchange because the exchange rate is terrible. Instead, go to the reliable currency exchanges on the top floor of the Galeria Krakówska (above Kraków’s main train station) or the one at ul. Karmelicka 1. Equally, beware of some ATMs around Kraków that offer terrible exchange rates and charge high withdrawal fees.

Steer clear of unlicensed taxis

Unlicensed taxis that end up charging you whatever price they see fit are the scourge of many visitors to Kraków. Luckily, they are easy enough to avoid by booking a fully licensed taxi such as Radio Taxi, Mega Taxi or Eko Taxi, or else opting for Bolt or Uber (though, unlike licensed taxis, they may not drive within Old Town).

Discover the World

17 Top Tourist Attractions in Poland

By Jamie Gambetta · Last updated on May 8, 2024

Poland is an awe-inspiring country. It’s a place that preserves its past like few nations have, while not being afraid to explore urban improvement when it must. Old towns show their age willingly through architecture that guides you from medieval times through the Renaissance until now. Heavily damage during World War II has necessitated a switch to modern designs. But where possible, enormous amounts of work have been put in place to turn the clock back the other way.

To see all of this history and culture while still feeling off the tourist trail is the real blessing Poland provides. Historical squares, home to vibrant markets and bell towers have you gazing through the looking glass admiring an authentic local culture. Tourist traps are a distant memory and even popular getaway towns are all charm.


But beyond the cities and villages, there are other things to do in Poland with dozens of national parks, vast lake districts, and the largest herd of wild bison in Europe to discover. This variety of tourist attractions makes it an unforgettable country to explore.

17. Zakopane

A two-hour drive from Krakow, Zakopane is a delightful town up in the mountains. It’s a beloved year-round spot for locals who enjoy the summertime fun such as a hike to Morskie Oko, while in the summer the tumbling snow makes for some great skiing.


Zakopane is laden with alpine charm. Sloped roofs and carved timber homes provide the vibe of an exciting frontier town. There’s a vibrant summer market and a funicular station ready to pick you up and drop you in the mountains. Highlander culture can be found throughout, especially in the locate cuisine. One must try their zesty smoked sheep’s cheese.

16. Gingerbread Museum, Torun

Once a former gingerbread factory, the Gingerbread Museum in Torun tells the story of the popular Kopernik. This is a traditional gingerbread that the Weese family made famous right here in Torun’s Old Town.


But you won’t just learn about this delicious treat. Instead, you’ll embark on a journey through the factory’s history to explore distinct eras. It all starts with at a medieval market stall before you explore various gingerbread molds from the 1600s through to the 20th century.


After getting a glimpse of one of the earliest bakery ovens, you can participate in workshops and bake your own gingerbread. It ends with a visit to the first-floor cafe that has gingerbread using different styles and tastes from the beginning until now.


15. Wolf’s Lair

The history of the Second World War is found throughout Poland. But the Wolf’s Lair stops you in your tracks. Deep in the Polish wilderness, within the Masurian Lakeland, the lair was Hitler’s original military headquarters for the Eastern Front.


It’s an odd feeling to be standing in the place where Hitler began Operation Barbarossa and called for the invasion of the Soviet Union. It gets even more eerie as you explore the intricate network of bunkers, tunnels, and staterooms. There is even a hotel in a renovated section of the compound that once belonged to Hitler’s very own security team.


14. Wawel Royal Castle

In Kraków’s Old Town , the Wawel Royal Castle is one of Poland’s most revered landmarks. A symbol of pride, independence, and patriotism, the castle is the equivalent of the UK’s Buckingham Palace.


Remarkably, some of the old stone buildings here can be traced back to the 10th century. However, the castle was originally built in the 1300s. As it was expanded over the following centuries, you can discover a rich mix of Gothic, Romanesque, and Renaissance architecture. These are some of Poland’s oldest examples.


Entry into the complex and grounds is free. But we recommend getting a ticket ahead of time to explore the enchanting interior, which includes Poland’s crown jewels.


13. Zalipie

If you love vibrant colors and cute villages , then add Zalipie to your itinerary. This town, in the south of Poland, is full of artistic expression. In fact, many of the homes here are ablaze with colorful flower patterns. But it’s not just the homes, you’ll find painted trees throughout. Even household furniture and kennels have gotten in on the action.


It all makes for a unique experience, one that is purely joyful. Of course, there are always a few that stand out more than others. One example is the House of the Woman Painters. As for the village itself, the vibes are immaculate. Zalipie is the perfect city escape, with beautiful nature and small town aura.


12. Masurian Lakeland

In northeast Poland, the Masurian Lakeland boasts over 2,000 lakes. These are strewn across a captivating landscape from lower Vistula to the border of Russia. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in Poland and one of Europe’s most beautiful lake districts.


The Masurian Lakeland was carved by enormous glaciers throughout the Pleistocene ice age. Today, the region is a mix of rugged and pristine landscapes where lateral moraines fall to spectacular lakes that were the base of these giant blocks of ice.


Kayaking trails guide you through the lake district. There’s also plenty of history to discover from historic castles to Hitler’s former headquarters, the Wolf’s Lair.


11. Schindler’s Factory, Krakow

Like Auschwitz below, it’s an eerie, sobering experience to explore Schindler’s Factory. In Krakow, the factory was used as cover to save over 1,000 Jews during WWII. Changing from an enamel factory to one that developed ammunition, the factory allowed Oskar Schindler to switch Jews from the Plaszow labor camp to his supervision.


Today, the factory is living history and is now an insightful museum. You can explore the Historical Museum of the City of Krakow which tells you about the working history of the factory, showcasing genuine products. All the while getting to know what life was like in Krakow during this time.


10. Lake Morskie Oko

In the mountainous Tatra National Park lies the astounding beauty of Lake Morskie Oko. As you stand on the edge of the lake, the craggy mountains rise out of the valley, shifting from dense green to vast gray rock as the elevation increases. You can trace the scares of old and present glaciers alike. It’s then all reflected onto the mirror-like lake to create an unforgettable sight.


The alpine lake is the biggest in the Tatra Mountains, fed by glacial water and snowmelt, it’s incredibly pristine. You can get here via a meandering hiking trail, one that goes beyond the lake to elevated views. But perhaps more fun, yet bumpier, way to travel is onboard one of the local horse-drawn-carts.


9. Auschwitz-Birkenau

It’s incredibly somber and important and a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau is a must-do during your time in Poland. This was the largest of the Nazi concentration camps during World War II and has remained almost as it was now that it’s a World Heritage Site.


It’s only once you explore Auschwitz I and Auschwitz-Birkenau that you can truly fathom the size and scale of the genocidal operation. By the time Soviet Forces liberated Birkenau in 1944, the camp featured 300 buildings across 420 acres.


Both locations are a mix of ruins and still-standing buildings that create an understandably sobering experience for travelers. You can retrace the events in the onsite museum that hide nothing from what was a tragic period in history.


8. Gdansk Old Town

With the nickname Pearl of the North, you’ll be glad to hear that Gdansk lives up to its lofty reputation. It’s a popular weekend getaway for the Polish and harbors some of the most picturesque streets in the country. The bulk of those exist within its renowned Old Town.


You can easily spend several days getting to know this part of the city. It was founded in the 10th century and time spent under the rule of Teutonic Knights, Prussia, Germany, and finally Poland, has led to a rich conglomeration of architecture and culture.


Although much was ruined during WWII, a keen eye for detail during reconstruction has all but returned the allure of the Middle Ages. This has made it a delight to explore.


7. Slowinski Sand Dunes


The highlight of the national park is the famed moving sand dunes. These include the Lacka and Czolpinska dunes that continue to shift thanks to the heavy winds that surge from the Baltic Sea. 
Such is the size of the dunes, they stretch into the distance. You’ll sometimes forget you’re right by the water. As the dunes rise and fall, it’s easy to think you’re deep in a vast desert.


6. Bialowieza Forest

On Poland’s east coast, is one of the last stretches of primeval forest in Europe. The UNESCO-protected Bialowieza Forest boasts some of the best natural landscapes in the country. Its remote location takes you far away from even local towns.


While much of the forest is found in neighboring Belarus, the Polish section is the easiest to explore. It’s here that you’ll find the largest herd of wild bison in Europe. They take advantage of the rich biodiversity here, something you too can discover along one of the many hiking trails.


These paths guide you through old-growth forests, beautiful open meadows (where the bison love to roam) along with rich wetlands. These varied ecosystems are also a welcome refuge for wolves, deer, boar, foxes, and lynx.

5. Wroclaw’s Dwarfs

In Poland’s southwest, the lively city of Wroclaw has a fascinating phenomenon. It’s been taken over by dwarfs! Don’t worry, they aren’t real. Instead, it’s a flurry of dwarf statues that quickly moved beyond a political movement (story for another day) and turned into a very interesting tradition.


You’ll find these dwarfs in the city’s Old Town and Market Square. They aren’t your every day dwarfs, either. With plenty of personality and individuality, none look or act the same. You can find one riding a motorcycle, and another holding flowers with a big smile on its face.


There are over 600 to be found around this part of the city, and there’s no plan to slow down anytime soon.


4. Malbork Castle

You’ll always remember the first time you see the city of Malbork. It’s a place that makes an immediate impression purely because of the enormous red roofs of the Malbork Castle. These cover what remains the largest brick castle in the world.


It was here at the start of the 15th century that the Crusaders, known as the Teutonic Knights, made themselves at home. The castle began life as a fortress, protecting what was the prominent military and religious center of Poland.


Times change, as they do, and the castle was severely damaged in the Second World War. However, revitalization efforts over the course of 30 years were successful. Today, you can explore the Gothic castle, through its vast tapestry of rooms, old chambers, and kitchens plus the expansive courtyard.

3. Warsaw Old Market Place

There’s something quietly memorable about the Old Market Place in Warsaw . There are attractions that tell the history and culture of a city. But the Old Market Place shows you. Ornately painted townhouses surround the square, locals gather and the sound of horse hooves floats around.


Here, gorgeous Renaissance architecture and local culture meet, while simultaneously taking you back several centuries. Warsaw can be a bustling city, but here life slows almost to a halt.


Charming cafes and restaurants provide the best seats in the house from which to take it all in. Glasses collide at night as residents toast to a day is done and live music starts to replace the tunes of horse-drawn carriages.


If you’re up for exploring, the History Museum is spread throughout 11 of the square’s townhouses while the Museum of Literature sits on the eastern side.


2. Wieliczka Salt Mine

One of the highlights of your Polish experience will no doubt be the Wieliczka Salt Mine . It began life in the 1200s, and remarkably continued until 2007. It’s otherwise known as the Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland, a name that paints a marvelous and accurate picture.


You can visit the salt mine from Krakow where you can explore seemingly endless subterranean passageways, discovering the rich history of salt mining as you go. While there may be some 300 kilometers of paths, four locations are guaranteed to stop you in your tracks.


These are the mine’s four chapels, the chief of which is the Chapel of St. Kinga. Murals, chandeliers, and towering ceilings showcase incredible interior designs all made from salt.


1. Krakow Main Market Square

Often overshadowed by Warsaw, Krakow has some of the best medieval architecture in Europe. You can see the best of it at the Main Market Square, the largest medieval square on the continent. Luckily, it managed to survive any damage in the Second World War.


As you sit in one of the regal cafes, you can admire much of the 13th-century architecture that remains. This is complemented by crowds of locals creating a fantastic atmosphere.


Halls and townhouses take you on a journey back in time. However, the true start is the Cloth Hall. This is where the square gets its name. Within you’ll find a market that has operated for around 700 years and still sells some genuine handicrafts rather than your classic tourist souvenirs. Also within the Cloth Hall is a museum that showcases memorable 19th-century art.


Other highlights are the unmissable Town Hall Tower (you can climb to the top!) and St. Mary’s Basilica.

the sand dunes are the best to go in summer.

I must admit this is a very good list! The only thing I would change is Warsaw Market Square – you’d better put Wroclaw there! It’s one of my favourite cities – Kraków, Wrocław and Gdańsk. And also Łódź but it is not a beautiful place – but I did leave a huge impression on me with lots of industrial architecture and old factories. And also mountains.

Put Szczecin on that list too. Often ignored city but you might be surprised if you go there. I suggest to start with stay at historic, 100 years old, fully renovated Dana hotel, than its better and better.

Agata, I agree that the ancient beauty of Poland is hidden and I’d like to mention about the Castle in Niemodlin, which was closed and forgotten for approximately 25 years. But it is one of the most interesting monuments of Silesia, a star of the screen! (if you saw the movie “Jasminum”) and a new owner has very serious plans : restoration works are in progress and the aim is to restore former glory of this residence.

Another amazing small beautiful place for holiday in south-eastern Poland is Olszanica ( http://www.palacbiesa.pl/ )

Please remeber that the beauty of Poland is hidden out of the beaten track. You can of course visit Zakopane, Kraków, or Warsaw, but what you will like the most is a bonfire in a small village or Biesczady Mountains. You can go kayaking and see in some places really intact nature. Go to Bieszczady.If you are looking for peace go to Bieszczady where its is very cheap and really breathtaking, but of course if you are looking for parties you should choose Cracow or Warsaw.

Having grown up in Poland, I have to say great list!! I’s also add Wroclaw’s Main Square, my second favorite square in Poland after Krakow.

10 Reasons You Should Visit Poland

Poland may not be an obvious holiday destination, but it has a lot to offer. It’s the perfect place for a weekend getaway, a skiing trip, or a peaceful beach escape. From impressive natural beauty, to rich history and mouthwatering food, here is why Poland should be number one on your travel wish list.

1. there are 14 unesco world heritage sites in poland..

Poland boasts 14 unique UNESCO World Heritage Sites you simply cannot miss. From the ancient Bialowieza Forest – home to the protected European Bison species and spectacular decaying trees – to the picturesque historical Old Towns of Warsaw and Krakow and beautiful medieval churches, the country is one of the most alluring European destinations.

2. It’s a paradise for foodies.

For many, food is one of the most important reasons to visit Poland. Apart from the classic pierogis , borscht, and bigos , make sure you try some typical Polish sweets such as jam-filled pączki (Polish doughnuts), glaze-topped sernik (Polish cheesecake) or makowiec (poppy seed cake – traditionally served for Christmas).

3. It’s affordable.

Although prices in the biggest cities steadily continue to soar, Poland is still a fairly cheap European destination . To make your stay even cheaper, fly in with one of the low cost airlines such as Ryanair or Wizzair, eat your meals at the famous milk bars, get around by public bikes and book your stay at a hostel or rent out an Airbnb. If you’re visiting the capital, check out our guide to a budget stay in Warsaw .

4. It is rich in history.

History fans won’t get bored in Poland. From hundreds of medieval castles , to the infamous Auschwitz Birkenau camp and excellent museums (the Warsaw Rising Museum and POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews are especially worth visiting), there is a lot to take in and discover.

5. It has breathtaking mountain ranges.

The Tatras are a true paradise for nature lovers. Perfect for hitting the slopes in winter and hiking in the summer season, they are one of Poles’ favorite holiday destinations. Head off the beaten track to discover the lesser-known mountain ranges such as Bieszczady, Pieniny, or Table Mountains (characterized by unique plated rock formations) for a less touristy experience.

6. It has an idyllic seaside.

Many people are surprised to learn Poland’s northern coast is covered with idyllic white sandy beaches. The best time to visit is the summer season, when tourists from Poland and abroad gather in most popular resorts such as Sopot, Ustka, and the Hel Peninsula (great for windsurfing and kitesurfing) to enjoy the sun, water sports, and the delicious fruit-topped wafers ( gofry ).

Poles know how to party all year round. Whether it’s a friend’s wedding, a summer music festival , or a regular Friday night at a club , there is always a reason to celebrate. Be careful though – Poles can drink a lot! Luckily, there are some great hangover cures that you’ll surely be recommended (such as gherkin juice) to survive the next day.

8. You’ll be surprised by Warsaw.

Everyone who visits Warsaw for the first time is positively surprised to discover its vibrant cultural life. With its hip bars , vegan restaurants , and alternative clubs, many call it the new Berlin. Check it out for yourself!

9. And charmed by Kraków.

Kraków, on the other hand, will charm you with its picturesque cobbled streets, historical landmarks , craft shops, and cosy cafés.

10. You’ll enjoy Polish hospitality.

You’ll also be lucky to experience the country’s hospitality. The good-hearted Poles love having guests over. If you visit a Polish home, you’ll be treated like a family member straight away.
