Poland's Major Sights

With its magnificent cities and impressive architecture, Poland is an endless monument to memories from the past.

• Warsaw was practically levelled during the bombing of World War II. But its spirit wasn't. In a massive restoration effort based on old images and paintings, the city rose from the ashes, highlighting the beautiful mediaeval historic centre and its Bohemian atmosphere. Don't miss Wilanów Palace, the Path of Remembrance in the Jewish Ghetto, and the Powstania Warszawskiego Museum, with a compelling presentation of artefacts related to the Warsaw uprising.
• The second-largest city in Poland, Krakow is generally thought to be the most beautiful, in view of the fact that it escaped the bombs of war, though not persecutions: it is where the Polish Jews were imprisoned before being sent to concentration camps. Nowadays, this Gothic and Renaissance jewel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the largest medieval market square in Europe and Royal Castle being its most prominent sights.
• Unearthly and a unique example of its kind in the world, the Wieliczka salt mine south of Krakow will amaze you. At a depth of 327 metres, you will find an entire town made of salt, with a theatre, sanatorium, many ancient and modern sculptures and a huge chapel.

Getaways and Alternative Holidays in Poland

Unspoiled nature, landmarks and plentiful waters await adventure lovers.

• A remnant of the virgin forests that once covered the majority of Europe, Bialowieza Forest is at the border between Poland and Belarus and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A natural landmark of unimaginable beauty, it is home to 11,560 animal species, including a rare species of European bison. The area is perfect for hiking and biking.
• Visit the largest castle in the world in terms of surface area, in the medieval town of Malbork in northern Poland. Built in the 13th century, it was the headquarters of the Teutonic Order of Knights.
• A system of more than 2,000 lakes connected by canals and rivers makes up the Masurian Lake District in northern Poland and is ideal for camping, alternative tourism and extreme sports.
