Poland is a real gem of Central Europe where you can find many great cultural heritage sites and unique natural areas.

People call Poland "the country of churches and castles" because of the abundance of magnificent churches, castles, cathedrals, and other top architectural and historical monuments.

The best time to travel to Poland is June - August because of the dry and warm weather. However, if you want to avoid the summer crowds of tourists, September - October is also a great time with even lower prices.

The cheapest months to fly to Poland are February and March.

The main means of transportation in Poland are buses and trams. There is an underground in some big cities, like Warsaw. Whatever city you are in, make sure to buy a ticket before you get on the vehicle; it is mostly impossible to buy tickets from the drivers.

Usually, you can buy tickets at any kiosk named “Ruch” near bus stops and some grocery stores. Tickets differ in terms of how long they are valid for; the cheapest tickets start from 30 minutes of validity.

Active travelers may use rental bikes to explore Poland. There are many local rentals in different cities, but you can find the popular service Nextbike in more than 22 cities.
