There is so much to see and do in Poland, and our tour packages are designed to ensure every moment you spend helps you savour all of Poland's charm. Our holidays can be scheduled to suit, from December trips to enjoy the festive Christmas markets to summer breaks to relax in the natural vistas of the Masurian Lake District.
Some of the top destinations in Poland are outside the romantic cities, including meandering boat tours down the vast Vistula River, which winds through the Polish capital and Gdansk all the way to Southern Poland.
Active types can delve underground at the Wieliczka Salt Mine, climb to the highest towers of the many gothic castles and cathedrals, or engage in water sports and beachside activities in the summer months, visiting the Baltic coast at Sopot.
Must-See Cultural Sites and Historical Holidays in Poland
History lovers are spoiled for choice in Poland, with numerous historic buildings, along with the solemnity and gravitas of the Auschwitz Birkenau museum, with the Auschwitz Birkenau Memorial a place of remembrance, pilgrimage and prayer for thousands of visitors from around the world.
We recommend destinations such as Wawel Castle, an iconic cathedral in Krakow that dates back to the 14th century and Castle Square in Warsaw, located directly in front of the Royal Castle and once the home of monarchs and royalty in days gone by.
Families and travellers interested in Poland's past should also visit Wroclaw, where they can see the Cathedral of St John the Baptist, alongside a leisurely trip to Wroclaw Zoo and the busy, welcoming Rynek area brimming with cafes, small boutiques, bars and restaurants ideal for outdoor breakfast dining on a sunny summer's day or savouring the local sour cream dishes for a filling lunch.

Why Choose Poland for your Central European Holiday?
Poland is a truly special country and the 17th largest in the world, with snow-filled winters and warm, balmy summers, offering remarkable natural landscapes during every season, from awe-inspiring mountain ranges to tree-lined old town streets.
The culture and history intertwined with this nation are impossible to overstate, with no less than 15 sites awarded UNESCO World Heritage Status with museums, palaces, cathedrals and churches from every element of Europe’s long and complex past.
However, what makes Poland stand out as a destination is the contrast between the incredible gothic architecture and the wide, open spaces, with quiet, cool forests, a pristine coastal seaside region and deep, clear lakes.
