City Guides
Krakow
Krakow is one of the most popular city break destinations in Europe.
Warsaw
Warsaw is a really underrated gem of a city, and somewhere to visit before the crowds arrive.
Gdansk
An up-and-coming coastal paradise that’s only just making it onto mainstream tourism maps, Poland’s Gdansk brings together the best of modern beach living and rich history. Go on an exciting boat ride to the wonderfully titled Hel peninsula where chances are you’ll find your own private plot on a gloriously un-crowded beach surrounded by lush forests and nature reserves. Best of all – living costs in and around the area are almost jaw-droppingly low.
Poland’s northern coastline is centred by a downward dome of land surrounding the Gulf of Danzig, on which the city of Gdansk proudly sits. Diversely coloured buildings line the river in a disorderly but striking fashion. Red roofs and gothic styled turrets sit atop tall, skinny buildings which were shaped mostly by merchants between Teutonic Prussia and Slavic Poland’s trade system in the 20th century. Gdansk is uniquely un-Polish!
Complimenting its rich history, Gdansk has a multitude of bars and restaurants with outdoor seating – perfect for soaking in this Polish city’s beauty whilst supping a cold beer, or two! If you’ve time, don’t miss Malbork Castle, a 47 minute train ride and a short walk away. The world’s largest castle (by surface area) was reduced to rubble during WW2, but has now risen spectacularly like a phoenix from the ashes, albeit with a lot of human assistance. Rich histories, ancient architecture and unforgettable memories await.
