Poland

A country that provides an unforgettable experience to the tourist with even the most diverse interests.

Nature lovers will surely enjoy the golden sand of the Baltic coast beaches in the north and the rocky crags of the Tatras in the south. There is a wonderful network of the Great Mazurian Lakes for water sports fans and the green wilds of the Bieszczady Mountains for those who enjoy hiking trips.

Those with a taste for history and its mementos are invited to the many painstakingly restored old town centers, the Royal Castles of Warsaw and Cracow, Poland's former capita, and the old palaces erected by Polish magnates, bringing to mind the memory of bygone centuries.

Connoisseurs of the Art are sure to be interested in the calendar of artistic events in the homeland of Chopin and Penderecki: the Chopin Piano Competition and the Wieniawski Violin Competition, both well-known throughout the world, the Warsaw Autumn Festival of Contemporary Music....

To the observer of social and political change in the modern world, Poland comes upon the stage as the cradle of the 'Solidarity' movement which shook the entire communist system and changed the shape of Central Europe in recent years.
