Wieliczka Salt Mine

Wieliczka may be the oldest working salt mine in the world, but it's most famous for the various statues, mythical figures and works of art carved directly into its walls by generations of miners. Highlights include a replica of Leonardo's The Last Supper and the cavernous Chapel of St. Kinga, over 100m below ground. A moody, unforgettable experience.
Malbork Castle

Situated on the banks of the Nogat River in Northern Poland, this gigantic brick castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved medieval fortified monasteries in existence. It's also the largest castle in the world in terms of surface area, and paying it a visit ranks as a Poland travel essential!
See the bison roam free in Białowieża National Park

Nestled away in Northeastern Poland straddling the border with Belarus is the Bialowieza forest, one of the last surviving stretches of ancient woodland in Europe. Here you'll find Bialowieza National Park, a beautiful forest preserve where you can hike, cycle and catch sight of the European bison in its native environment.
Stroll the Krakow Market Square

Chief amongst Kraków’s architectural attractions is magnificent Rynek Główny, the city's main square. Dating back to the 13th century, it's one of the largest in Europe and home to some of the city's finest buildings, including St. Mary's Basilica, the Cloth Hall and the 10th century Church of St. Adalbert. Stroll around the square, wander through the Cloth Market and linger over coffee in one of the bustling cafes - definitely one of the best things to do in Krakow!
Hit the trails in the Tatras and conquer Rysy

Part of the greater Carpathian range, the magnificent Tatra Mountains straddle the border between Poland and Slovenia. Here you'll find some of the most stunning scenery in either of the two countries, and the trek to the top of border-spanning Mt. Rysy is the perfect way to take in the views. Don't forget your camera!
