essential poland bucket list items by us

Our trips to Poland are packed with memorable experiences, from exploring the castles and cathedrals of Warsaw and Krakow, to discovering the emotional war history of the country.

View St. John's Cathedral in Warsaw

If St. John’s Cathedral could talk, it would have some incredible stories to tell. Join your Local Specialist on your Warsaw trip for a tour around this 14th-century Gothic building that has witnessed the likes of coronations, royal weddings and funerals, and the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 where the cathedral was destroyed and since restored to its former glory.

Polish Cathedral

See the Royal Castle in Krakow

As a the cultural heart of Poland, the Wawel Royal Castle complex sits proudly on top of a hill in Krakow. It’s one of the best places to visit in Krakow and we’ll show you around the glorious assortment of Renaissance, Romanesque and Gothic buildings, with centuries of tales of sackings, vandalism, occupations and restorations.

Polish Castle

Visit the poignant former concentration camp, Auschwitz

We’ll visit the former concentration camp at Auschwitz for a somber reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust. Auschwitz was the largest of the Nazi concentrations camps and is the resting place for over one people. Much of the camp has been preserved and you can walk the grounds to come face-to-face with one of humanity’s darkest periods that should never be forgotten.

poland tailored by you

You’ll get to tailor your dream Poland trip with our range of Optional Experiences. Choose from adventures like exploring the incredible Wieliczka Salt Mines and wandering the splendid Wilanow Palace.

Visit Krakow's Jewish District

Although not originally on my bucket list, Poland is now one of my favourite countries. Krakow is home to an incredible mix of modern suburbs and rich history. Take a stroll into the depths of Krakow's Jewish district to find the graffiti artworks covering many of its streets corners (and find one of my favourite cafe's - Cheder; from the festival 'house of culture').

Wander around Łazienki Park in Warsaw

Lazienki in its present form originates from the time after 1764, where Poland's last elective King acquired the nearby Ujazdowskie castle. Several painters and architects were commissioned to extend the Royal Possessions and create a Royal Summer Residence. You can visit the park for free, but a visit to the palace or closed pavilions costs a fee. Perfect place for a summer stroll!

Discover Wieliczka Salt Mine

Wieliczka Salt Mine is a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels and chambers – about 300km distributed over nine levels, the deepest being 327m underground – of which a small part is open to the public. The salt-hewn formations include chapels with altarpieces and figures, while others are adorned with statues and monuments – and there are even underground lakes. Unforgettable experience!
