Poland Trip Planning & Itineraries

For centuries, Poland has been a bridge between the East and West. Set in the heart of Europe, Poland is a multifaceted country where the capital and medieval towns are trawled by contemporary city slickers, and where horse-drawn carts negotiate country lanes, untouched by progress.

Poland remains reasonably cheap and safe, with hospitable people who welcome visitors. Over the past decade, it has developed into a modern, vibrant and progressive state, yet at the same time it maintains its traditional culture. It's a fascinating destination and now is a good time to go.

Poland Festivals & Events

The musical highlights are myriad: Krakow hosts the Music in Old Krakow International Festival every August, and Wrocław follows in September with the Wratislavia Cantans, replete with oratorios and cantatas. Warsaw is a thriving cultural center, with contemporary music showcases in autumn, including jazz in late October.

The Warsaw Theatre Meetings in January review the achievements of the best Polish theaters over the past year. The Polish Film Festival in Gdynia in November is the foremost presentation of Poland on celluloid.
