Poland
Regardless of where my travels take me – Poland is home. It always was, and it always will be, one of my two homes. Despite the fact, however, that I was born in Poland, I have yet to visit a lot of it. What I have discovered so far though, I absolutely loved and am adamant to share with you.
Is Poland a good travel destination?
Poland is a big country, with a lot to offer. Its vast, long, and often tragic history, shaped what it is today.
Due to its size and variety, there are a lot of activities and attractions for visitors to check out. Visit the stunning cities of Kraków and Gdańsk, walk the path of Polish history, or simply enjoy the picturesque landscapes. While exploring, don’t forget to taste some of the better-known items from the Polish kitchen – pierogi (dumplings) is my personal favourite, but there’s also bigos (sauerkraut stew), gołąbki (cabbage rolls), red borsht, and many, many more.
Explore the Baltic Sea up North and the scenic mountain ranges down South. Experience the vibrant cities, such as Kraków or Wrocław, or visit the Masurian Lake District to the East. Follow historical trails of castles and palaces, immersing yourself in the culture.
Poland is filled with so many possibilities, one which should cater well to your t5ravel needs – whether you’re looking for urban adventure or a countryside peace.
When Best to visit Poland
What kind of weather does Poland have?
Polish climate and weather can vary throughout the year between different parts of the country. However, in general, the dry and sunny peak summer months typically run between June and August, while November till January time brings about much colder conditions, including snow precipitation, particularly towards the south of the country.
When is the best time to travel to Poland?
Summer months tend to attract more tourists, en route for their sunny holidays, usually by the Baltic Sea, with temperatures reaching anywhere close to 30°C. The prices tend to be more expensive during this season but the good weather is almost always a guarantee.
Do not dismiss Poland as a winter holiday destination though! While the amount of tourists and prices might not diminish that much, Polish temperatures might prove ideal for a skiing/snowboarding holiday! If you visit before the end of December, there are several Christmas markets to check out as well, as it’s arguably our biggest celebration of the year!
