Poland

Poland is set to gain increased travel interest with its anticipated EU accession and as a hub to the East. The significant art treasures from the Romanesque period to modern times, as well as the diverse landscapes between the Baltic Sea and the Carpathians, the Oder and the Bug, are still largely waiting to be discovered. Visitors can expect medieval wooden architecture, Renaissance art in Krakow, Mannerist castles in Galicia, Teutonic Order castles like Malbork, brick Gothic in the old Hanseatic cities of Gdańsk and Toruń, or the historically accurate reconstructed old towns of Warsaw and Wrocław. Art historian Tomasz Torbus, born in Warsaw and with a doctorate on the Prussian Teutonic Order castles, reliably guides visitors through all regions of the country and provides essential travel tips. Informative and exciting: history, art, and culture are more than just numbers and names.
