Poland is a fascinating country full of beautiful architecture and amazing scenery and with a wide range of 5-star hotels available in the country's main cities and throughout the country, Poland is also an excellent choice for travellers who like a bit of luxury.
Warsaw is Poland's bustling capital where east meets west. The city suffered a huge amount of damage during the Nazi occupation in the Second World War and many of the scars can still be seen today. The architecture is incredibly varied with the surviving streets of Warsaw's Old Town, the Stalinist monolithic skyscraper known as the Palace of Culture and Science, and the more modern buildings built since the fall of communism.
Krakow is world-renowned for its beautifully preserved old town. Here the city's architecture has survived the turbulent events of the twentieth century relatively unscathed meaning you can walk down the historic streets which have been mostly unchanged for centuries. You can also use Krakow as a base to visit some of the other fascinating places in Southern Poland such as the picturesque mountain town Zakopane, the impressive salt and stone sculptures of Wieliczka salt mine and the sombre Auschwitz concentration camp now a museum and memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.
Gdansk is Poland's seaside capital. Located on the Baltic Sea, Gdansk offers visitors the chance to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this city and its two neighbours Gdynia and Sopot - together referred to as the "Tricity". Here, in the summer, you can enjoy beautiful beaches, culture and cuisine.
Although Poland is considered one of Europe's cheaper destinations, that doesn't mean you will be compromising on quality. All three of the cities mentioned above are home to a wide range of 5-star luxury hotels offering a high-level of service at a fraction of the price you might expect to pay in London or Paris.
For an affordable, memorable luxury break, Poland is an excellent choice!
