If you feel like that you've seen all that France, Spain and Italy have to offer, then perhaps you're looking for a new holiday destination. If you are, then why not consider Poland?
Here's why you should.
1. Poland has many castles and palaces, making it a romantic fairytale of a place in some regions. If you like learning more about the lives of the people who lived in the castles and palaces, then you'll love the Lancut Palace, and the Malbork Castle in Greater Gdansk.
2. The Mazury Lake District in Eastern Poland, is popular with those who like water sports. So if you're a keen sailor or like the idea of exploring over 2500 small lakes you'll love it here. The Pieniny and Czorsztyn lake region, in southern Poland, are perfect if you like the sound of hiking, or rafting, and enjoying some of the best scenery in Europe, you'll really be in your element here
3. The Wolinski National Park on the Baltic Coast may be one of the smallest in Poland, but it's also one of the most beautiful. There's plenty of forest areas to explore, and lots of wildlife, including bison and sea eagles, and home to many plants including 16 varieties of orchids.
4. Poland is steeped in history, and there's lots of culture to experience. Although the death camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau need no introduction, and there are lots of exhibits including personal artefacts which act as sobering reminders of what happened here.
5. Perhaps you've had a weekend break in Krakow, or Warsaw already, and want to explore more of Poland. Why not come back again for a longer holiday, instead of choosing somewhere in Western Europe?
6. Poland really isn't too far away. You'll be able to spend more time enjoying yourself, and getting to know this amazing country, and less time getting here.
7. By flying from your local airport, Poland is easy to get to and you can get away for the weekend, or enjoy a midweek city break without needing to spend most of your time travelling.
8. There's plenty to see and do here at any time of year. Whether you want to explore a museum, enjoy the lakes, or sample the hospitality of cities like Krakow, you don't need to leave your weekend away until the summer.
9. Because there's lots to see and do here, Poland is becoming a popular hen and stag weekend destination. Why not see what activities you can find to do, before enjoying the great nightlife in one of the major cities?
10. No matter whether you're young or old, you'll have a great time in Poland, and although you might want to spend more time in the galleries than the cafes, or the nightclubs might be more appealing than the museums, you'll find the way of life, food, and attitude here most agreeable.
Now you know why you should come here, perhaps now is the time to book your flights to Poland.
