General Information

Poland, located in the plains between Germany and Russia, has suffered severely from the ravages of war. But each time it has been rebuilt and offers the tourist wonderful attractions. The two primary destinations are the present capital Warsaw and the ancient capital Cracow. Let's take a quick tour of each. First Warsaw, which like a phoenix rose from the ashes of total destruction in World War II. Then Cracow untouched by war, which is an exquisite treasure of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.
Poland is too large to be properly appreciated in one visit, so select one, or perhaps two of its provinces. Take quick tours of each:
Central Poland, with many wild national parks easily reached from Warsaw,
the north and the Baltic coast with the ancient port of Gdansk.
the west, Wielkopolska, the cradle of the nation,
the south, Malopolska and the Tatry mountains easily reached from Cracow,
Silesia in the southwest, with many old castles and mountains.
