First-timer's guide to Poland

Sep 29, 2023 • 7 min read

Everything you need to know about visiting Poland for the first time © Imgorthand / Getty Images

Supported by

Poland has a long, fascinating, sometimes tragic history, played out against a backdrop of royal castles and palaces, picturesque old towns and incredible landscapes.

From the Carpathian Mountains in the south to the Great Masurian Lakes in the north, Poland is a dream destination if you’re up for an activity-driven vacation – hiking, cycling and kayaking opportunities are abundant, plus there’s skiing in the winter.

If urban pleasures are more your thing, vibrant cities such as the capital Warsaw , the atmospheric old capital Kraków , and revamped 19th-century industrial powerhouse Łódź do not disappoint. Each offers masses of cultural attractions alongside delicious dining and lively nightlife scenes – all at very affordable prices.

As Poland is a big country packed with travel possibilities, you’re sure to have questions. Here are some tips and practical advice on how to get the most out of your first trip to Poland.

When should I go to Poland?

There’s no time of the year to specifically avoid when scheduling a trip. For fine weather and the chance to join summer festivals and events such as Kraków’s Jewish Culture Festival and Warsaw’s Summer Jazz Days , come between May and early September.

Towns and cities come alive as the warmer temperatures tempt everyone outside for alfresco dining and drinking. This is peak season, too, for visiting Poland’s 23 national parks.

The countryside in spring and autumn can also be very beautiful. Winter is the quietest season, except in ski resorts such as Zakopane . Come prepared for frigid temperatures and sloshing through snow and rain.

Compensations include low season rates at hotels and plenty of excellent museums in the major cities in which to shelter from the elements. Autumn through early spring is also when performing arts institutions such as Warsaw’s Teatr Wielki and Filharmonia Narodowa run their season of top-grade shows.

How much time do I need to visit Poland?

Two, or better, three days is the minimum needed for a short city break to either Warsaw or Kraków. You won’t have enough time to cover everything, but you will be able to get a feel for these places and tick off the main attractions.

If you’re prepared to move around quickly, you could cram in more of Poland over 10 days to two weeks, adding to your itinerary metropolises such as Gdańsk (also close to the Baltic seaside resort of Sopot ) and Łódź, as well as smaller historic towns like the artists’ retreat Kazimierz Dolny and Zamość , a perfectly preserved 16th-century Renaissance town.

Have a month to spare? Now you’re talking! This will give you the opportunity to explore rural backwaters and national parks such as World Heritage-listed Białowieża National Park , home to some 800 free-roaming European bison, Poland’s national symbol and Europe’s largest land mammal; and Karkonosze National Park with its spectacular Ice Age glacier-carved landscapes.

Is it easy to get in and around Poland?

Poland is tethered to the world by international flights. The capital’s main airport is the central Warsaw Chopin Airport , with Modlin Airport , 39km (24 miles) north of the city, handling budget carriers.

Other international airports include Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, Katowice Airport, Kraków John Paul II International Airport, Łódż Airport and Wrocław Airport . There are also excellent rail and bus links, especially with Western European neighbors, including overnight train services to Berlin and Vienna .

Getting around Poland itself is a breeze. There’s a comprehensive system of buses and trains offering both frequent services and affordable prices. For more remote parts, including nearly all the national parks, you’ll really need your own set of wheels.

Hiring a car is straightforward and the roads have vastly improved in recent years (although you will encounter some unsealed roads in the most rural regions). Major cities and towns all have decent public transport, and you can easily cover historic old town centers on foot.

Top things to do in Poland

Kraków, the former royal capital, is a stunner with its heady blend of history and harmonious architecture. At its heart are the vast Rynek Główny, Europe’s largest medieval marketplace, and the magnificent Wawel Royal Castle , on a hill above the Old Town.

But that's just the start – every part of the city is fascinating, from the former Jewish district of Kazimierz and its lively nightlife to the atomic fallout shelters of Nowa Huta .

Warsaw had to be almost completely rebuilt after WWII. The powerful Warsaw Rising Museum focuses on the darkest hours of WWII, while the Museum of Warsaw superbly documents the city's rise, fall and resurrection. Also don’t miss the award-winning POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews , and regal Wilanów Palace and surrounding lush parkland.

Toruń , a walled Gothic city on the Vistula River, miraculously escaped WWII intact. Wander through the UNESCO-listed Old Town crammed with museums, churches, grand mansions and squares. When you’re flagging, perk up with a peppery gingerbread cookie, Toruń’s signature snack, which you can make yourself at the Gingerbread Museum .

The UNESCO-listed Białowieża National Park holds one of Europe’s last vestiges of primeval forest, which you can visit in the company of a guide. The bison, which was once extinct outside zoos, has been successfully reintroduced here, although your best bet for seeing these magnificent animals is the region’s European Bison Show Reserve .

My favorite thing to do in Poland

I’m a huge fan of street art and Łódź has embraced this public form of creative expression unlike anywhere else in Poland - the city is practically one giant art gallery! There are well over 200 public works of art ranging from massive painted murals to installations involving neon, nails and porcelain tiles.

Among my favorites are Pasaż Róży, a dazzling courtyard completely plastered with mirror fragments arranged in swirling rose patterns, and Wiedźmin, a 70m tall mural designed by Jakub Rebelka on the sides of adjacent apartment blocks – it’s a homage to the Witcher series of fantasy books by Łódź-based author Andrzej Sapkowski.

How much money do I need for Poland?

Like everywhere in Europe in recent times, prices have been rising in Poland. That said, the country offers great value, especially when it comes to accommodation, dining out and entertainment. Getting around by public transport is also a bargain.

Hostel room: 60 zł
Basic room for two: 200 zł
Self-catering apartment (including Airbnb): 120 zł
Public transport ticket: 3.40 zł
Coffee: 15-20 zł
Sandwich: 15 zł
Dinner for two: 150-200 zł
Beer/pint at the bar: 12 zł

Is Poland part of the EU?

Yes, which means if you’re crossing into the country from neighboring EU countries – the Czech Republic (Czechia), Germany , Lithuania and Slovakia – there are no border formalities. However, rather than the euro, Poland’s national currency is the złoty (zł, sometimes also abbreviated as PLN) which dates back to the 14th century.

Most places accept card or electronic payments but sometimes you will need to pay in cash so it’s handy to keep some money in your wallet.

How easy is it to get online?

Very easy. Depending on your home mobile phone/internet plans, you should be able to surf the web and stay in touch using a smartphone or tablet. There are plenty of wifi hotspots and some of them are free.

What’s Polish food like?

Locals like nothing better than scoffing comfort foods such as pączki (rose-jam filled doughnuts) or a plate of pierogi , dough dumplings stuffed with anything from cottage cheese, potato and meat to blueberries or other fruits.

Traditional cooking is rustic and flavorful and can be summed up by Poland’s signature kiełbasa sausages. These are usually made with pork and various seasonings, though other meats, like beef and veal, can be added.

Beyond such staples Polish cuisine also includes hearty soups and dishes such as beef tartare. In the major cities and towns, there’s a wide choice of world cuisines alongside creative renditions of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

15 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Poland

Written by Diana Bocco Updated Oct 14, 2022

Poland is a historical country with 14 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a collection of breathtaking natural attractions – mountains, national parks, rugged coastlines, and some unexpected wonders such as the world's oldest salt mine.

With its medieval architecture, troubled WWII history, and many villages that seem to be stuck in time, Poland is the perfect destination for history buffs and architecture lovers. Packed with things to do, Poland's cities are humming with the energy of art and culture and are a great starting point to discover everything the country has to offer.

No matter if you're after history, art, or nature, plan your visit with our list of the top tourist attractions in Poland.

1. Wieliczka Salt Mine, Wieliczka

2. auschwitz-birkenau camps, oswiecim, 3. warsaw old market place, warsaw, 4. malbork castle, malbork, 5. lazienki park, warsaw, 6. schindler's factory, krakow, 7. crooked forest, gryfino, 8. warsaw rising museum, warsaw, 9. wawel royal castle, kraków, 10. wolf's lair, gierloz, 11. morskie oko lake, tatra national park, 12. kraków cloth hall, krakow, 13. wawel cathedral, krakow, 14. slowinski sand dunes, 15. biskupin settlement, map of tourist attractions in poland.

The 13 th -century Wieliczka salt mine is just as important for the locals today as it was hundreds of years ago, but for a very different reason. One of the world's oldest and longest-working salt mines, it stopped commercial operations in 1996 and has since become an artistic attraction .

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is now home to four chapels, corridors, and statues – all carved out of the rock salt walls. The mine's original shafts and passageways – some as deep as 327 meters underground – have been reopened and allow visitors to explore pits and chambers, walking past statues and alongside stunning architectural marvels. Deep into the mine, an underground lake shimmers against the candlelit walls.

The main tourist attraction inside the mine, however, is the Chapel of St. Kinga, a 12-meter-high chamber where everything – including the elaborate chandeliers and furniture – are made of salt. The tour continues on to the Erazm Baracz Chamber, where you'll find a lake that's saltier than the Dead Sea, and ends at a museum that explains salt mining and what life in the mines was like.

Entrance to Auschwitz concentration camp

The Auschwitz I and the Auschwitz II—Birkenau concentration camps are a different kind of must-see. Located about an hour west of Krakow, the camps offer a sobering look into the past.

Between 1942 and 1944, over 900,000 Jews were brought to the camps here from German-occupied countries. Political prisoners, Roma, and a number of other ethnicities were also sent here. Less than 10 percent of the people brought here survived their stay.

At the end of the war, as Soviet forces advanced into Poland, the Nazis destroyed the gas chambers and crematoria before fleeing. Although they managed to destroy and burn down part of the camp, many structures remain standing to this day.

The camps, which include over 300 barracks and hundreds of other buildings and crematoriums, can only be explored as part of a guided tour.

Official site: http://auschwitz.org/en/

The oldest part of Warsaw, the Old Town Market Place dates back to the 13 th century. Although 85 percent of the area was destroyed by the Nazis during World War II, it has since been restored to look exactly like it did when it was first built.

A mix of medieval architecture, Gothic, and colorful Renaissance buildings and merchant houses all coexist in the city's most popular square. The 19th-century bronze statue of a sword-wielding mermaid – a symbol of Warsaw's since medieval times – survived the War and still stands at the square.

Today, the Market Square is home to many cafés and restaurants, as well as street art sellers and many souvenir stalls. The main branch of the Historical Museum of Warsaw is also located here – home to a massive art collection but also a look through the history of the city and country.

The Adam Mickiewicz Museum of Literature , just steps away, pays homage to Poland's most famous poet and writer.

This 13th-century Teutonic castle was originally built by the Teutonic Knights, a religious order that served as a crusading military unit. Although the castle started as a small fortification, it was subsequently expanded over the centuries and eventually became a massive structure. Once the largest Gothic building in Europe, Malbork castle remains the world's largest castle by land area.

Today, the castle serves as a museum, with many of its original rooms perfectly preserved. Highlights include a medieval kitchen with a six-meter-wide fireplace, a collection of armor and weapons, and the knights' private toilet at the top of a tower.

In addition to historical collections, the castle also houses a number of exhibits, including one showcasing the conservation techniques used to restore the castle.

Official site: http://www.zamek.malbork.pl/en

Lazienki Park covers 76 hectares of the city center, making it one of Poland's largest urban parks . Lazienki started life as a baths park for a nobleman in the 17 th century. Today, the Palace on the Isle is open to the public, as are the gardens around it.

A Classical-theater isle stage (where performances are still held), a number of smaller palaces and structures that now serve as museums or galleries, and even a classicist temple dedicated to the goddess Diana are set in the gardens.

A large statue of classic Polish composer Frederic Chopin stands on the grounds of the park as well. The statue was purposely destroyed by German forces as they invaded Poland during WWII and reconstructed in 1958 using the original mold. Every Sunday afternoon, free piano concerts are held at the foot of the statue.

Oskar Schindler's desk at Schindler's Factory

Oskar Schindler's enamel and metal factory – made famous by Steven Spielberg's 1994 movie – is now home to two museums. Part of the building has been converted into the Museum of Contemporary Art, while Schindler's former office – and much of the former factory floor – is now a branch of the Historical Museum of the City of Krakow.

Schindler's former office, which has been preserved intact since War times, is now an exhibit dedicated to his life and the lives of the people he saved in this very factory. In the office, a wall of glass known as the "Survivors' Ark" serves as a time capsule, full of enamel pots like the ones built at the factory.

The rest of the factory presents a number of cinematic exhibits that show Krakow during the War and the impact the Nazis had on the history of the city and the lives who inhabited it. There are also a number of immersive stage-like reconstructions of 1940s spaces – from a typical street to the seats of a tram to a typical Jewish apartment of the time.

Located just outside the tiny town of Gryfino, the Crooked Forest is a (perhaps) natural marvel that defies explanation. Here, a number of pine trees stand on their own, growing with a 90-degree angle at their base, all bent northward.

The pines were originally planted here in the 1930s, but it took about 10 years before the trunks started to show their characteristic bent. Despite many theories, there's a standing heated debate on whether the curvature was created artificially by manipulating the trees – or whether it just happened naturally or accidentally.

Regardless of the cause, the eerie presence of the trees is hard to deny, especially as the rest of the forest is full of healthy, perfectly straight pine trees. It's a great place for a quiet hike in the silence of the forest.

This is a museum dedicated to 1944's Warsaw Uprising, where the Polish Underground Resistance fought the German occupation of their city. The uprising lasted for 63 days, with massive casualties on both sides.

Once the Polish forces surrounded them, the Nazis systematically destroyed a large number of historical buildings and structures in retaliation. The uprising was a massive effort by a poorly equipped and barely armed group of civilians trying to defeat the enemy – and the museum has done a remarkable job of bringing that spirit to life.

Exhibits here include many rooms and events brought to life through films, artifacts, recreations, and interactive displays, including replicas of the sewer tunnels used to move around the city in secret, an insurgent hospital, and a print shop where you can see posters and underground newspapers.

Several rooms show continuous original footage of the events, and there's a special section dedicated to the Nazi occupation and the atrocities committed during the uprising.

Wawel is an architecturally eclectic castle – the construction has medieval elements mixed with Baroque and Renaissance details. One of the first places to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Poland, the castle has always been an important part of the history of the country.

King Sigismund I the Old, who lived in the castle in the 16 th century, was an avid collector of art – so it makes sense that the castle is now an important art museum, focused mainly on paintings and curatorial work.

Additional collections include weapons and armor, porcelain and ceramics, lots of textiles and prints, and a significant amount of period furniture. The museum also has an unusually large collection of Ottoman tents, the largest of its kind in Europe.

Hitler's top-secret military headquarters is hidden deep in the Masurian woods. When it was active, it had three fortified security areas around it, defended by land mines in addition to heavily armed units.

At the time, the area included over 80 buildings, including several air-raid shelter bunkers and watchtowers. The Nazis blew up the complex in 1945 before fleeing the approaching Soviet Forces, but some of the buildings were so heavily reinforced, many of them could not be destroyed.

Visitors can now make their way to the area as a day trip from Warsaw . Although there are plans to eventually add historical exhibits or even a museum to the area, for now it's more a collection of ruins to walk through, discovering the corners of the history that developed here.

Located deep within the Tatra National Park and surrounded by towering mountains and Swiss pines, the lake is a favorite destination for people of all ages. Reaching it requires an easy but long paved hike through shaded forests. The lake changes color throughout the year, transforming from a deep shade of blue to a softer turquoise hue.

The Tatras National Park extends through both Poland and Slovakia. In Poland, it's home to over 600 caves; snow-covered peaks; and a number of waterfalls, including the 70-meter-tall Wielka Siklawa.

Most of the park is hikeable, with over 270 kilometers of trails of all lengths and difficulties.

The Hall, which dates back to the Renaissance, has always been the heart of international trade in Poland. During the 15 th century, it was the main place for foreign merchants to gather to sell exotic spices from the East.

Traders from all over Europe also came here to buy salt from the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Textiles, leather, and silk were also traded here – imported from other countries for sale and produced locally.

The Hall was renovated in the 19 th century and used for years as an events center, where formal balls to honor visiting emperors and kings were held. The main floor is now again a center of commerce, with small stalls and galleries selling souvenirs, collectibles, and small pieces of art.

The Sukiennice Museum has taken over the second floor – home to a large collection of 19th-century Polish art.

The first Wawel Cathedral was built over 1,000 years ago, though the current one – a fascinating combination of Romanesque, Baroque, Gothic, and Neoclassical elements – was built in the 14th century after a massive fire destroyed earlier buildings.

For centuries, the cathedral was the burial place of Polish monarchs, though most of the tombs now reside in the labyrinth of underground crypts located right under the cathedral.

In addition to the main cathedral, there's also a number of smaller buildings outside, including the Sigismund's Chapel, famous for its beautiful golden dome. Even more famous is the Sigismund Bell, which – as the largest church bell in the country at 11 tons – requires the strength of 12 people to ring it. The 70-meter-tall tower holding the bell also offers a great viewpoint over the city.

Sand dunes in the Slowinski National Park at sunset

Part of Słowiński National Park in northern Poland, the 500 hectares of "moving dunes" here are considered a curiosity of nature. Their name comes from the fact that the dunes actually change form and move along the 32 kilometers of shoreline throughout the year, as winds and waves crash against the beach.

Depending on the weather, the dunes can move up to 10 meters per year and reach heights of up to 30 meters.

While the shifting sand dunes are the park's main attraction, you'll also find forests, bogs, lakes, and many kilometers of hiking trails. And once you make it over the dunes, you'll find a beautiful beach and clear blue waters.

Often referred to as "the Pompeii of Poland," the Biskupin Settlement is a recreation of the original prehistoric settlement that once thrived in the same place around the late Bronze Age.

Now an archeological open-air museum that tells the story of ancient Poland, the settlement showcases what life would have been like back then, with log houses (the original settlement included over 100 homes) and streets covered with wooden planks (as the location meant the streets were always wet and the ground always soft).

The settlement is surrounded by a tall wooden wall that's over 450 meters long and includes a watchtower near the entrance gate.

2 Weeks in Poland: 2 Itineraries

DISCLAIMER: This post might have links to travel services and products that we enjoy. We might make a commission from it at no extra cost to you.

The first time that I went to Poland was when I was backpacking across Eastern Europe for three months. During that trip, I visited Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria.

I remember walking around Krakow Old Town, a woman biking, and she drove past me. Right at that moment, I told myself that I could imagine living there.

While that hasn’t happened yet, but I’ve been back to Poland twice since and it’s still one of my favourite budget-friendly European destinations offering the classic European vibe and atmosphere.

If you only have 2 weeks in Europe and plan to see just one country, Poland is an ideal destination. It is suitable for history buffs and admirers of architecture, with its medieval style, WWII history, and numerous villages that appear to have not changed in centuries.

The cities of Poland are overflowing with activities, art and culture, and everything in between, making it an exciting country to explore.

Many people don’t know that Poland is one of the most affordable European destinations . You still get to walk on the unique cobbled streets, visit historical sites, be stunned by beautiful castles, try delicious local dishes, and go to incredible ski resorts in winter without paying too much.

The Baltic Sea borders Poland to the North, Lithuania and Russia to the Northeast, and Belarus and Ukraine to the East. It is considered part of Central Europe, but some references might say it’s part of Eastern Europe of the Baltic States.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE VISITING POLAND

4 images - crooked trees, zakopane ski resort, salt mine in Krakow, and Warsaw Royal Palace - 2 Weeks in Poland Itinerary

In Poland, there are so many things to do that might be daunting, especially for first-time visitors. Before starting a 14-day vacation to Poland, there are a few things to consider. In the latter part of this article, you’ll find itineraries that will serve as your guide.

Whether you’re interested in history, art, or nature, you may utilize this list of the top tourist destinations to help you plan your 2 weeks in Poland trip. Get information on how to travel conveniently, the best time to go, what language is spoken most often, the widely used mode of payment, and other helpful tips below:

When is the best time to go to Poland

Poland’s peak season is during the summer months (June – August) when resorts are filled with tourists and the streets are crowded. However, if you want to avoid the crowd, shoulder season is for you during spring (March – April) and autumn (September- October) when the weather is pleasant for travelling but with fewer people.

At the same time, the low season is during winter (November – February). Christmas is a great time to travel to Poland if you don’t mind braving the freezing weather.

The country is widely known for its Christmas markets, which come alive in December in towns like Gdansk, Krakow, and Warsaw. This is also the most fantastic time to hit the slopes.

ALSO READ: What to pack for a 2-week trip

Are 2 weeks enough for Poland

2 weeks in Poland is a lot of time. You can visit historical sites such as Krakow and Warsaw then go for an adventure in Zakopane. You can honestly go and see lots of places in just 14 days without rushing your entire trip.

I recommend that you plan to see 3-4 cities . If you plan great transportation and choose cities that are near one another, you can see 4-5 places .

Getting around

InterCity trains are preferred for travel between major cities like Gdansk, Poznan, Warsaw, and others. You can choose the InterCity, POLREGIO, and Twoje Linie Kolejowe (TLK) train types.

Bus travel is another option for getting across Poland, and it can be more practical if you’re going somewhere mountainous or need to connect to places with shorter distances.

Both regional and local bus services are widely available in small communities. Driving might be a terrific way to discover Poland if you like personal travel and want to venture off the beaten path. Flying on a plane is ideal for travelling long distances in Poland.

Language and currency

The vast majority of Poland’s population are native speakers of the Polish language . If you’re visiting here, you might be worried that you won’t be able to find your way around the country.

However, you don’t have to be anxious about it since roughly o ne-third of the population can speak English. You’ll encounter more English-speaking locals in significant towns and those employed in hotels and restaurants.

Poland’s national currency is the Zloty (PLN). In terms of the mode of payment, transactions are still made mostly in cash, with credit cards and bank transfers following closely behind.

Travellers with passport issues by the US, most countries in Latin America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand South Korea, Japan, some countries in the Gulf region, and Malaysia can enter Poland without a visa and stay for up to 90 days.

Other passport holders must apply for a tourist visa in advance (Schengen visa) at the nearest Polish Embassy or Consulate near you at least 6 months before their intended trip.

What is the average cost for 2 weeks in Poland

As mentioned before, travelling in Poland is much cheaper than in other parts of Europe. You can spend about $900 per person for a 14-day trip to Poland ($60/day) if you’re backpacking and can stay in hostels.

For a couple , you can take advantage of the private room without paying double. Around $1,100 ($80/day) should work for 2 weeks, which is also a great amount for a solo traveller on a mid-range budget.

For those who plan to travel in luxury, $2,200 ($150/day) and up will allow you to stay in 5-star hotels and dine at nicer restaurants. You can also take taxis most of the time during your 14-day stay.

Accommodation in Poland is quite affordable, the highest cost would go to taking domestic flights and dining. However, you can save money by staying in shared dorm rooms, taking local buses, and buying food at food stalls and grocery shops.

Other basic travel tips

When you start planning your itinerary , I recommend you book your travel arrangements as soon as possible, especially the flights since those change so much. If you find a cheap one, grab those right away.

When it comes to booking a hotel, if you are coming in the peak season, book your room right away.

Below is a list of travel services I love to use. A lot of them allow me to cancel at the last minute without paying high cancellation fees while other sites have a variety of options.

2 WEEKS IN POLAND ITINERARY

Poland is a relatively vast and lovely place to visit, perched in the heart of Europe. Whether you’re looking to relax slowly, go on an epic adventure, or take a weekend trip, you’ll discover a few places that appeal to you.

The following is a list of the important places you should visit during your 14 days in Poland . If you want to skip the crowds, you can select between these two itineraries designed for first-timers and off-the-beaten-path adventures.

You don’t have to adhere to the itinerary strictly. Just choose the activities that intrigue you.

Itinerary #1: First-timers (Warsaw, Krakow, Zakopane, Wrocklaw, Gdansk)

For first-timers in Poland, you should include the must-see tourist destinations in your 2 weeks in Poland itinerary: Warsaw, Krakow, Zakopane, Wroclaw, and Gdansk. Warsaw city has a 1,000-year history to explore with unique architecture and culture.

The Polish Aviation Museum and the National Museum of Science and Technology are Krakow’s two most popular museums.

Ski towns, including Zakopane , are famous for hiking and mountain biking during summer. As for Wroclaw, theatres, galleries, and other cultural institutions are abundant. On the other hand, Gdansk is known for its historical sites such as churches, cathedrals, and castles.

Warsaw for 3 days

As soon as World War II was over, the city launched a tremendous effort to rebuild its historic centre per the original blueprints. The city of Warsaw was formed in the 13th century, and Old Town Market Square was a medieval plaza built in the centre of the Old Town.

There is no better place to begin your tour in Poland than here , the country’s capital. The National Museum documents the city’s history and is also home to Poland’s most extensive collection of artworks, including several pieces once part of Adolf Hitler’s personal collection.

Take a stroll at the formal gardens of Lazienki Palace , Warsaw’s largest park and complex. You can find a planetarium, pavilions, an outdoor theatre, and more inside this 18th-century palace encircled by 76 hectares of an urban forest.

Krakow and Zakopane for 5 days

Among the best spots to visit in the country is Krakow’s Old Town, one of the earliest established UNESCO World Heritage Sites . It is conveniently situated at the foot of Wawel Royal Castle, where exquisite gardens and former royal guests’ apartments can be found.

You should plan to visit Kazimierz, the historic Jewish neighbourhood, and learn about Jewish history. Poland’s top snow destination is the town of Zakopane, which is situated at the base of the Tatra Mountains.

The two most famous skiing areas close to Zakopane are Gubaówka Mountain and Kasprowy Wierch Peak. Both novice and expert skiers can experience world-class snowboarding and skiing with spectacular landscape views.

It takes an average of 2 hr 45 min to arrive from Warsaw to Krakow by train, over an estimated distance of 250 km (155 miles). Usually, 17 trains operate daily from Warsaw to Krakow.

However, if you want to go to Zakopane from Warsaw, it would be ideal for travelling by plane, which takes 55 minutes.

Wroclaw or Poznan for 3 days

The 13th-century Main Market Square, home to St. Elizabeth’s Church and the Old Town Hall, is a must-visit area of Wroclaw. A short distance away is the Pan Tadeusz Museum, which features multimedia exhibitions about Polish traditions.

As for Poznan, The Old Market Square i s a popular place to visit with its vibrant and charming pastel-painted homes with restaurants and bars, and you can also stop by the Stary Browar. This old brewery has been transformed into a shopping centre and art gallery.

You can get from Krakow to Wroclaw the fastest way is by train , which takes around 2 hr 59 min. About 17 trains operate daily from Krakow to Wroclaw, with 235 km (146 miles) between these destinations.

As for the journey from Krakow to Poznan by train, you can expect to arrive in roughly 5 hr, which spans 335 km (208 miles).

Gdansk for 3 days

In Gdansk, you will find Poland’s principal seaport, which makes it an excellent place to end your 2 weeks in Poland trip. The City Gates and the Prison Tower are some prominent buildings in this area that are worth checking out.

St. Mary’s, the world’s largest brick church, the Wisloujscie Fortress, and the Gdansk Nowy Port Lighthouse are also in Gdansk.

Despite not being directly impacted by the war, Gdansk has one of the most extraordinary museums in the nation , housing a collection of vehicles, relics, documents, and images of the war.

The quickest way to travel from Wroclaw to Gdansk is around 1 hr 5 min by plane. You can also hop on a 3 hr 38 min train ride from Poznan to Gdansk along the 246 km (153 miles) route.

Itinerary #2: Off-the-beaten Path (Warsaw, Malbork, Szczecin, Poznan, Lodz)

If you’ve already been to the significant towns in Poland and want to see more of the underrated side, this 2 weeks in Poland itinerary is for you. This guide will take you through the less-visited sights and give you a genuine understanding of the life of the Polish people throughout history.

Whether searching for a relaxing getaway or capturing some Instagrammable shots, these cities in Poland have much to offer. Below are my top recommendations for off-the-beaten-path destinations in Poland for travellers who wish to avoid tourist crowds.

2 images - Brick Milkk in Gdansk and Marlbork Castle

The Crooked Forest, which lies close to the hamlet of Gryfino , is a unique natural wonder that defies explanation. Several pine trees stand alone in this location, each bending northward and rising at a 90-degree angle at its base. Even today, the cause of bent trees still remains a misery.

It’s a beautiful setting to start your trip here as you go on a peaceful trek amid the forest’s solitude. One of the first locations in Poland to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Wawel Royal Castle has always played a significant role in the country’s history.

Among the other collections. Weapons, armour, porcelains and ceramics, numerous textiles and prints, and a sizable amount of antique furniture.

Malbork for 2 days

Despite its beginnings as a fortress, the Malbork Castle was the world’s largest castle when it was finished in the 14th century for the Teutonic Knights Crusaders.

It’s a famous site for tourists since it is now a museum where you can see many of its original chambers that have been meticulously conserved. The tour includes the castle’s courtyards, kitchen, and tapestry rooms.

The train journey from Warsaw to Malbork is roughly 2 hr 2 min via PKP Intercity . Alternatively, you can take a 4 hr 5 min-bus ride from Warsaw to Malbork with FlixBus, covering a distance of 311 km (193 miles).

2 images - Neptune Fountain in Gdansk and Gmina Gryfino

Szczecin for 3 days

The Szczecin Philharmonic is among the top spots in this city since it was designed to accommodate a chamber music hall and a symphony hall.

Everyone who passes by is attracted to its metal and glass exterior, complemented with light illuminations. If you’re into nature, don’t forget to drop by Szmaragdowe Lake, where you can view Lower Odra River and Szczecin City from its observation deck.

To help you save time, I recommend booking a flight from Malbork to Szczecin, which often takes 2 hr 40 min . Alternatively, if you have a car rental, you can drive from Malbork to Szczecin in 4 hr 47 min with a total distance of 346 km (215 miles) along routes DK22 and DK10.

Poznan for 3 days

If you plan to explore Poznan, ensure to put Fara Poznan in your places to visit since it’s a gorgeous pink Roman Catholic Basilica tucked away from the Old Market Square.

Just north of it is Park Cytadela w Poznaniu, the city’s largest urban park. If you’re into pastries, swing by St. Martin’s Croissant and taste their special dessert, a croissant with poppy-seed filling.

Around 16 trains operate daily from Szczecin to Poznan, and the fastest train ride takes roughly 3 hr 10 min to arrive . You can also opt for a 3 hr 30 min-bus ride.

Alternatively, if you rent a car, the direct drive between the two cities is around 2 hr 50 min to complete the 265 km (165 miles) journey via routes S3 and A2.

Lodz for 3 days

You can end your two weeks in Poland in Lodz, where you can find Piotkowska Street, the world’s longest commercial street at 5 km. The best eateries, pubs, and boutiques in the city can be spotted along this route, which runs between Liberty Square and Independence Square.

If you’re into shopping, Manufaktura is for you since it houses 240 stores and boutiques to wander through, as well as many cinemas, restaurants, bars, theatres, a fitness centre, and more.

You can expect the trip from Poznan to Lodz, which spans 188 km (117 miles) by train to take roughly 2 hr 48 min . The fastest bus service between the cities is around 3 hr 37 min.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO (each city)

I recommend you pin these attractions on your digital map. This will help you visualise the places you want to see and how you want to create your travel itinerary.

You can tell which places are near one another, which locations you can see in one day which ones will take an entire day to reach, and in what order you want to see each city.
