A rich cultural heritage, fascinating history, and beautiful landscapes make Poland an interesting place to discover. On this Poland tour, you’ll spend two nights in Warsaw and Gdansk, three nights in Kraków, and one night in Poznan. Along the way, learn about Poland’s history and visit some of its historic cities with their charming old towns, and some UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Enjoy sightseeing with a Local Guide—an expert in the city’s history, sights, culture, and secrets—in Warsaw, Gdansk, Torun, Poznan, and Kraków. Torun is the birthplace of renaissance astronomer Copernicus. In the Middle Ages, it was a prominent trade hub as a member of the Hanseatic League. Dating back to the 7th century, Kraków is known as Poland’s most beautiful city and cultural capital. Here, the sightseeing tour features the Market Square, one of Europe’s loveliest squares, along with Wawel Hill. Gdansk is a beautiful port city on the Baltic Sea, which played an important role in recent history by facilitating the events that brought to the fall of the Berlin wall. You’ll visit the monastery of Jasna Góra in Czestochowa, an important pilgrimage spot. Its Black Madonna, a painting of the Virgin Mary, is a symbol of the country and venerated as the “Queen of Poland.” You’ll also visit what is left of the Auschwitz concentration camp, a chilling reminder of the Holocaust. Take a breath of fresh air on the included excursion to Zakopane, a mountain resort in the Tatras, a favorite holiday spot for locals and visitors. You’ll have a chance to do a little hiking or to relax, taking in the spectacular views. You’ll arrive home from this value-minded tour through Poland with a new appreciation of Poland’s history, culture, nature, and wonderful cities—an enriching adventure!

| Day 2 |
Gdańsk, a vibrant port city on Poland's Baltic coast, is a hidden gem that seamlessly blends rich history with modern charm. As the largest city in northern Poland, Gdańsk has a unique identity shaped by centuries of trade, political turmoil, and cultural exchange. The city's Old Town is a feast for the eyes, with its beautifully reconstructed buildings that harken back to its Hanseatic glory days. Stroll along Long Market (Długi Targ), where colorful facades of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture house quaint cafes, amber shops, and galleries. Here, you'll find Neptune's Fountain, an iconic 17th-century landmark symbolizing the city's deep connection to the sea. A visit to Gdańsk offers an opportunity to dive into the city's profound historical significance. The Westerplatte, a peninsula near Gdańsk, is where the first shots of World War II were fired, marking a pivotal moment in world history. The European Solidarity Centre, located in the city’s historic shipyard, celebrates the birthplace of the Solidarity movement, which played a key role in ending communist rule in Poland and across Eastern Europe. This interactive museum takes you on a journey through the tumultuous 20th century and serves as a poignant reminder of Gdańsk's role in shaping the course of history. For those who enjoy a blend of nature and culture, Gdańsk offers picturesque waterfront views and relaxing green spaces. The Motława River promenade provides a perfect backdrop for a leisurely walk, with charming riverside eateries and the towering Gdańsk Crane, a medieval port crane that once symbolized the city’s maritime power. Hop on a boat to Westerplatte or take a short trip to the Sopot Pier, the longest wooden pier in Europe, where you can enjoy fresh sea breezes and vibrant beach life. Fun fact: Did you know that Gdańsk is often referred to as the world capital of amber? Known as "Baltic gold," amber has been collected and traded here for centuries. Visit the Amber Museum housed in the historic Foregate of Długa Street to explore exquisite amber jewelry and learn about its fascinating history. Don't leave without picking up a piece of this unique gemstone as a timeless souvenir. |
