Activity Holidays in Poland

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.

    Best Time to Visit Poland

    General

    May-September

    Sunny in the middle summer months, there are chances of rain, but you can be guaranteed entrance to all tourists attractions. These are the school holidays, so you may run into larger crowds, particularly at weekends.

    March, April & October

    Cooler months, but the weather can still be sunny and the temperature is relatively comfortable in most places. Some attractions may have shorter opening hours, but that’s the price you pay for escaping the crowds.

    November-February

    The months for skiing in Poland’s resorts. It can be pretty cold in these times, so wrap up warm, but the only busy time will be the week between Christmas and New Year.

    Best Places to Visit

    Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum

    A stark reminder of the dark side of human nature, a visit to Auschwitz is harrowing, haunting and humbling. Understand the individual stories too tragic to fathom, and commemorate the brave souls became victims of the Nazi regime.

    A distressing and upsetting, but entirely necessary memorial.

    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
