Diverse Architecture |Outdoor Spaces |Cultural Treasures |Eat & Drink

The capital of both the Mazovia province & of Poland itself, Warsaw situated right in the heart of Europe, at the intersection of Europe’s east-west & north-south transport routes, is a truly extraordinary city with a dazzling array of historical sites & tourist attractions that captivates everyone who visits.

A major economic, academic, cultural, political hub, Warsaw is the epitome of a dynamic European metropolis, its trademarks - besides a rich history - being its open-minded residents, the River Vistula & exceptional cuisine. It has now become one of Europe's most dynamic metropolitan cities, ranked as one of the most liveable in Europe.

Once believed to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Warsaw has endured the worst history could throw at it, including near destruction at the end of World War II. Much has been rebuilt & the fragments that survived are now preserved in a superb selection of Museums & cultural storehouses. The exhibitions at the Warsaw Rising Museum & POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews leave practically no stone unturned on their respective subjects, while the National Museum will astound you with its art & design collection.

Then, there is Chopin, Warsaw's favourite son, who has his own Museum & whose romantic & dramatic music is played at nightly recitals.

Rather than being centred on an old Market Square, modern-day Warsaw is spread across a broad area & includes an eye-catching range of architecture: restored baroque, Gothic, neoclassical & Renaissance in the Old & New Towns; gems of the post-WWII socialist realist period, such as the phenomenal 3,000 room Palace of Culture & Science built in an Art Deco-meets-Stalinism style in the very heart of Warsaw has become a modern icon of the city. Towering over 230 metres into the sky, it is visible from practically every corner of the capital & houses a theatre, cinema, museums, cafes & the main Tourist Information Point. An unbeatable panorama of Warsaw can be viewed from the Observation Deck on the 30^th floor, including some spectacular new skyscrapers & both banks of the River Vistula.

After World War II, this socialist-realism style of architecture was applied to most newly built monuments, public buildings & even entire districts. Examples include the Marszałkowska Residential District (MDM) & contemporary beauties like the Copernicus Science Centre built on the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto.  This jumble reflects the city’s tumultuous past & makes for a fascinating collection of neighbourhoods & landmarks.

As the seat of Polish rulers for several centuries, Warsaw is blessed with impressive historical buildings lining the well-known Royal Route. The Presidential Palace, the Ministry of Culture & Art, the Academy of Fine Arts & the University of Warsaw as well as elegant former royal residences.

Among these is the stunning Baroque Royal Castle, the official residence of Polish kings from 16^th century onwards, where you can see royal insignia & thrones as well as paintings by famous artists, including Rembrandt, Canaletto & Matejko.

Another royal residence is the chic, serene classical Palace on the Water in royal Łazienki Park. If you visit its lavish interiors, do check out the paintings from the collection of Poland’s last king, Stanisław Poniatowski. Free piano concerts take place at the Fryderyk Chopin monument in the Park every Sunday in summer, which draw in people from near and far.

The nearby Sigismund Column is Poland’s most famous monument & a favourite meeting place of Warsovians & visitors alike.

The Royal Route ends at the former residence of King Jan III Sobieski in Wilanow aptly described as Poland's Versailles. In this vivid yellow Baroque palace surrounded by spacious gardens, richly decorated & furnished chambers show how the Palace’s successive wealthy owners lived & how they upheld the memory of the King who famously won the Battle of Vienna. Interestingly, this was one of the only buildings not damaged during the war.

The right or east-bank part of Warsaw was culturally, ethnically & religiously diverse for centuries. As it was, almost miraculously, not destroyed during World War II, it is now considered to be the most authentic part of the city. Whilst taking a walk along its streets, look out for surprises in the most unexpected of places - discover shrines hidden away in the courtyards, seek out the original murals found in the area & of course, pop along to visit the Polish Vodka Museum in the renovated Koneser centre in Praga district, fittingly a former distillery.

Not to be missed is a stroll beside the Vistula River: on the west bank runs the Vistulan Boulevard, a contemporary promenade dotted with waterside bars & cafes, while on the eastern Praga side nature holds sway with meandering, wooded pathways leading to sandy beaches.

If the city's architectural flourishes, lush outdoor spaces & cultural treasures haven't already seduced you, expect all resistance to fall at its superb selection of dining spots. Among its many titles, Warsaw is also the undisputed culinary capital of Poland with many bars & restaurants including “milk bars” established back in communist times.

As evening falls, the Saska Kępa neighbourhood is a great place to combine taking in some stunning examples of modernist architecture with a well-deserved stop at one of the many great eateries serving flavours from around over the world. Home to everything from bargain-priced, retro-trendy milk bars to chic Michelin star restaurants serving cutting-edge molecular gastronomy. No shortage of cool cafes or bars for creative cocktails, craft beers & vodka shots.

Anyone with a sweet tooth is really going to enjoy this city: local bakeries & cafes serve Warsaw’s traditional wuzetka cakes (a yummy chocolate & cream layered combination), Wedel chocolate & natural ice cream. Breakfast markets & food truck rallies as well as the Fine Dining Weekend & Restaurant Week festivals are also quite popular.

Greenery also abounds at the central Saxon Garden, Krasinski Garden & the rooftop garden of the University Library.  Evening, around 08.00 pm, accompanied by a Journey’s Rep, proceed for an exciting ‘Polish’ dinner with other Group members who would be travelling with you.

Come back to the hotel by 10.00 pm.

Overnight. D 

Morning Check-out at 08:00 am, meet the Tour-guide & proceed for a 4 hour sightseeing tour.

There is no better place to start your tour of Warsaw than the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage listed Old Town, whose history goes back 700 years. And it will feel as though the buildings are ancient as well, even though the truth, however mind boggling it is to comprehend, is that this incredible part of Warsaw was reconstructed after it was completely destroyed during World War II on - wait for it - the basis of paintings by Canaletto. It was recreated with such attention to detail.

Today, the Old Town is a beguiling, charmingly cosy area with a unique atmosphere & original architectural details, which becomes especially enchanting after nightfall. The Old Town Square is its lifeblood, packed in summer with outdoor cafes & people strolling around, making it one of capital’s most popular spots.

A statue of the Warsaw Mermaid, the city’s symbol, stands proudly in the centre. It may well be the only mermaid wielding a sword & shield you will ever see. According to legend, a mermaid was resting on the riverbank near the Old Town when local fishermen heard her song & fell in love with the fabulous creature. When a rich merchant trapped & imprisoned the mermaid, a young fisherman heard her cries for help & released her. By way of thanks, she promised to provide all fishermen with help if needed. Since then, the mermaid, armed with a sword & a shield, has been ready to protect the city and its residents.

Old Town Market Square is one of the most beautiful places in the city. Warsaw's main square has been in constant use since the late 13th century for celebrations & markets were held here. All of the Square's buildings were reconstructed following complete destruction in World War II & are supposedly a perfect match for the Square's original form in the 17^th & 18^th centuries.

Around the Square, the Historical Museum of Warsaw occupies a dozen buildings reconstructed after World War II. Its exposition & collections of historical artefacts presents the incredible story of the city & its residents since the dawn of its history to modern times.

Another historical treasure trove is found in the nearby Gothic 14^th century St. John’s Cathedral, built as a parish church for royal weddings, coronations & funerals with crypts housing the tombs of the last Dukes of Mazovia, plaques in memory of Polish patriots & statesmen, and the Chapel of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, often referred to as “Primate of the Millennium”.

A tourist route running through the historical Jewish district will take you to the uber-modern multimedia POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, the Umschlagplatz (from where the Germans transported Warsaw’s Jews to the Treblinka concentration camp), a fragment of the wall separating the ghetto from the “Aryan side”, & plaques in the pavement marking where the ghetto boundary used to be.

The eventful & dramatic history of the city can also be experienced at the interactive Warsaw Rising Museum which documents the 63 day heroic struggle of Warsovians against the occupying forces during World War II. The tragic events of 1944 changed the Polish capital in every possible way forever & heavily influenced its present-day character. 

You will be driving along the Royal Route with a few photo stops at vantage points.

The sightseeing concludes & you will depart for Gdansk.

Arrive in the city by evening & Check-in at the hotel.

As the dynamic capital of the Pomorskie province, the port city of Gdansk on the Baltic coast of Poland offers an enticing contrast of rich history & attractive modernity. Like a mini-state all to itself, Gdansk has a unique feel that sets it apart from other cities in the country. Centuries of maritime ebb & flow as one of the largest ports on Baltic sea, streets of distinctively un-Polish architecture influenced by a united nations of wealthy merchants who shaped the city’s past.

With a tradition spanning over 1,000 years, Poland’s maritime capital toing & froing between Teutonic Prussia & Slavic Poland & the destruction wrought by WWII have all bequeathed a special atmosphere that makes Gdansk into a unique metropolis that has always been characterised by a spirit of freedom & courage.  The city’s motto, the Latin saying “Nec temere, nec timide” (meaning“neither rashly nor timidly”) perfectly expresses the character of this former Hanseatic city.

In the aptly named Solidarity Square, 3 solemn 42 metre high Crosses tower overhead with anchors attached to them. This striking Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers of 1970 stands right next to the European Solidarity Centre, an interactive Museum recounting the Polish people’s aspirations to freedom. Theirs is a fascinating story about the long, hard fight against the communist regime, about the many sacrifices made by nations imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain & above all, about hope. Ultimately, it is a story about their greatest victory; one that forever changed the history of Poland and, in fact, the whole world. 

Right next door in the Gdansk Shipyard, was where, in August 1980, the famous strike began that “set Poland on fire” & forced the communist authorities to make numerous concessions, including the legalisation of the Solidarity Trade Union & the eventual elevation of Union leader Lech Walesa to the position of the first elected President of Poland & a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Visitors throng in ever greater numbers for a weekend city-break to one of the prettiest seaside cities on Poland's northern coastline & wander historical thoroughfares lined with grand, elegantly proportioned buildings & to enjoy a treasure trove of characterful bars & cafes, seafood restaurants, amber shops & intriguing Museums, not to mention pleasure-boat cruises along the river & a wealth of maritime history to soak up in between brews at dockside beer gardens.

It boasts several important historical attractions, such as the Royal Way, a famous promenade street of Polish kings.

One of the more recent additions to Gdansk’s already broad educational & tourist offering is the unmistakably modern Museum of the Second World War, home to one of the biggest exhibitions on Earth related to that world-changing conflict. Situated some 14 metres underground its enormous slanted entrance, the main exhibition shows the horrors of war from many different nations’ viewpoints, as well as telling the story of the heroes of Westerplatte & the Polish Post in Gdansk, who were the first to offer heroic resistance to the Nazi invaders.

Balance of the day is free for independent exploration. Or perhaps opt for one of the many options available (we will be happy to offer suggestions & make arrangements).

Morning at 09:00 am, meet the Tour-guide & embark on a 4 hour sightseeing tour.

Gdansk’s Old Town is straight out of a storybook. Anyone arriving in the city inevitably gravitates towards the Main Town, the city’s most historical, most popular & most important destination for locals & tourists alike to take in the views across the extremely popular River Motława, as tourist boats sail past.

The riverside is also dotted with tenements, including a restored Granary Island. Here you will find perhaps the most iconic symbol of the city - the Crane - the largest port crane in the whole of Europe during the Middle Ages & today part of an interesting Museum.

If the Main Town as a whole can be considered picturesque, the Royal Way looks like it is straight out of a storybook: a colourful, exquisite, vibrant promenade bursting with life & character with historic cathedrals, medieval ports & oodles of cool cafes. It officially starts from the Golden Gate, through which the city was triumphantly entered in the past before proceeding along Długa (Long) Street to the colorful facades of Long Market, now home to shops & restaurants.

You can also enter Royal Way at the other end through the confusingly named Green Gate - which is neither green, nor really a gate, although its Dutch-Mannerism style design is undeniably spectacular.

Positively begging to be posted on Instagram, the Royal Way is composed of a few dozen tenement houses that were meticulously restored after the war. The ground floors of the buildings are home to a variety of characterful & cosy venues, including children’s favourite: the Ciu Ciu handmade sweets “factory” in Długa Street. 

Standing guard like a proud, protective parent, there is the majestic tower of the Main Town Hall, which never fails to captivate all who see it, as does the nearby Neptune Fountain & Golden House.

Directly behind Neptune Fountain is Artus Court with its stellar & palm vaulting, many paintings & statues, which has been an important landmark in the city’s history. It was actually where the first Gdansk beer was ever served, masquerade balls were held, various fraternities had their headquarters, court trials took place & even monarchs were received. 

For one of the finest examples of the brick-Gothic architecture characteristic of the Baltic coast, visit the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with its turquoise spires & imposing bell tower.

Inside, you will discover clean white walls, sparse decoration & a serene, humble ambience. All attention goes to a Gothic statue of the beautiful Madonna of Gdansk, a Pieta & the stunning 5 metre Altar of the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Those energetic enough to climb to the top of the 82 metre tower are rewarded with breath-taking views across the city when the weather is good.

Another feature of the historical centre that will almost certainly grab your attention are the Perrons - entrance terraces accessed by a small series of stairs, located above basement spaces.

Along these charming cobbled streets you will pass by several stalls selling all manner of souvenirs, including items made from amber, Gdansk’s original treasure, not to be found anywhere else. Gdansk is a center for the world’s amber trade; boutiques throughout the city sell the ossified resin. Larger & smaller pieces of amber - fossilized resin of coniferous trees growing 40 million years ago - end up on the shore as the tide rolls in.

Exploring the unique Amber Museum is well worth a visit. The Museum features both old & contemporary works of distinguished designers & its multi-media exhibition takes visitors to an amber forest, letting them indulge in the perfume of amber oil scent & take part in an amber jewelry fashion show. Every year, Gdansk hosts the International Fair of Amber, Jewelry & Gemstones “Amberif.” Amber jewelry in all price ranges can be purchased around the country in jewelers’ boutiques, galleries & souvenir markets. The most famous, chic boutiques & galleries selling amber of all shapes & sizes are in Gdansk & the streets are collectively known as the “5^th Avenue of Amber.”

Another eye-catching building, the purpose of which is almost impossible to guess from looking at, is the extraordinarily unique Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre, home to the famous annual Shakespeare Festival.

Take a relaxing walk around the beautifully maintained Oliwa Park, which features charming ponds, immaculate flowerbeds & winding paths. The Oliwa Stream cuts across the park, even forming a waterfall in one place.

Proceed to the famous Oliwa Metropolitan Cathedral dedicated to the Holy Trinity, Blessed Virgin Mary & St. Bernard. The first surprise as you approach the Cathedral is the facade, a striking composition of 2 slim octagonal Gothic towers with a central baroque portion wedged between them. The interior looks extraordinarily long, mainly because of the unusual proportions of the building - the nave & chancel together are 90m long but only 8.3m wide. At the far end of this ‘tunnel’ is a baroque high altar from 1688 & a marble tombstone of the Pomeranian dukes from 1613.

The showpiece of the church is the famous rococo organ. This glorious instrument, begun in 1763 & completed 30 years later, is renowned for its fine tone & the mechanised angels that blow trumpets & ring bells when the organ is in action. It is made up of as many as 7,876 pipes & a multitude of moving elements. Recitals take place on some evenings & up to six times a day over the summer.

One of the city’s greatest & lesser-known assets are the beautiful, wide, sandy beaches in Sobieszewo, Jelitkowo, Stogi & Brzezno, all located close to numerous city hotels, restaurants & bars offering live music.

Finally, the tour concludes & you are transferred back to the hotel.

Balance of the day is free for independent exploration. Or perhaps opt for one of the many options available (we will be happy to offer suggestions & make arrangements).

Morning, around 07.00 am, depart for Torun.

Enroute stop in Malbork, a town in northern Poland, within the historical region of Pomerelia.

The town is noted for its medieval Malbork Castle or Marienburg (Fortress of Mary), one of the most iconic Polish landmarks. This breathtaking piece of Polish construction is a UNESCO Heritage Monument.

One of the best-preserved Gothic strongholds in the world & a seat of the Teutonic Knights Order, the breathtaking 13^th century Malbork Castle on the east bank of the Nogat River, is the largest brick structure ever built & is the mightiest fortress in Europe.

The immense castle took shape in stages. First was the so-called High Castle, the formidable central bastion that was begun around 1276. When Malbork became the capital of the Order in 1309, the fortress was expanded considerably. The Middle Castle was built to the side of the high one, followed by the Lower Castle still further along. The whole complex was encircled by 3 rings of defensive walls & strengthened with dungeons & towers. The Castle eventually spread over 20 hectares, making it the largest fortress built anywhere in the Middle Ages. It was slowly expanded over the 14^th & 15^th century, eventually becoming the largest Castle in the world in terms of surface area.

The Teutonic Order weakened greatly after the Battle of Grunwald against advancing Poles & Lithuanians. The largest arsenal of the Polish -Lithuanian Commonwealth was once located here. The Castle was seized by the Polish army in 1457, during the 13 Years’ War, when the military power of the Knights had started to erode. Malbork then became the residence of Polish kings visiting Pomerania. Astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was also known to have visited the Castle. From 1568, the Castle also housed the Polish Admiralty & in 1584 one of the Polish Royal Mints was established here. But then it gradually went into decline.

After the First Partition in 1772, the Prussians turned it into barracks, destroying much of the decoration & dismantling sections of no military use.

In the 19^th century the Marienburg was one of the first historic buildings taken under government protection, becoming a symbol of medieval German glory. Despite sustaining over 50% damage during WWII, almost the entire complex has been meticulously restored & preserved, and the Castle today looks much as it did 6 centuries ago, dominating the town & the surrounding countryside.

Commence your self-guided (audio-guided) tour.

The best outside view is from the opposite side of the Nogat River (you can get there via the footbridge), especially in the late afternoon when the brick turns an intense red-brown in the setting sun.

The visitor experience has been much improved recently with a new, chattier style of audio guide that works using GPS, a set route (no more getting lost & seeing only half the rooms) & several new exhibitions. The ticket office has left-luggage lockers, toilets & refreshments.

The entrance to the Complex is from the northern side, through what used to be the only way in. From the main gate, visitors walk over the drawbridge, then go through 5 iron-barred doors to the vast courtyard of the Middle Castle.

On the western side is the Grand Masters’ Palace, which has some splendid interiors including the kitchen with its 6m-wide fireplace & the Great Refectory, the 450 sq metres chamber, largest in the Castle. The remarkable ceiling has its original palm vaulting preserved.

Peek into the Grand Master's private loo before heading to the other side of the courtyard where there is a collection of period weapons & armour on display and an excellent Amber Museum - the latter would be a major place of interest in its own right, were it anywhere else. Amber was an important source of revenue for the Teutonic Knights - they controlled the entire Baltic coast where it is found.

The tour then continues to St Anne's Chapel where 12 Grand Masters were buried.

The clever audio guide then leads you to the High Castle, over another drawbridge and through a gate to a spectacular arcaded courtyard that has a reconstructed well in the middle. This was the monastical part of the castle where monks would sit in session in the Chapter House before heading for their meat & mead in the striking refectory.

Another memorable halt is the gdaniska, the knights’ loo perched high atop its own special tower & connected to the Castle by a walkway. Perhaps it was one of the Order who coined the phrase ‘long drop’ as he reached for the cabbage leaves they used for toilet paper.

One of the most striking interiors here is St Mary’s Church, accessed through a beautiful Gothic doorway, known as the Golden Gate. This is where the brothers would have met to pray every 3 hours, 24 / 7, but it was the part most damaged during the bombardment of 1945. Renovation ended in 2016, the walls left as bare brick as a powerful reminder of the Red Army shells.

Throughout the Castle, look out for the interesting underfloor heating system in many of the rooms & the little Gothic stucco figures pointing the way to the nearest WC. New exhibitions along the way examine conservation efforts over the last 200 years, oriental weaponry & views of Malbork under the Polish Crown.

The 3 hour tour concludes & you continue on to Torun.

Arrive by noon & Check-in at the hotel.

After relaxing for an hour meet the Tour-guide in the lobby & embark on a tour of 4 hour tour.

A wealthy Hanseatic port, Torun was one of the most important trading & cultural centers of Europe. Testifying to its past splendor as one of the most beautiful European old towns, UNESCO World Heritage listed Torun is widely known in Poland & beyond for its historic core, represented by a unusually well preserved walled Complex of medieval architecture & the Gothic buildings in their original urban layout on the banks of Vistula River. Throughout the ages, both in Teutonic & Polish times, Torun has welcomed Polish kings on several occasions.

The town was established in 13^th century by Teutonic Knights - but not here, somewhere else! The reason it was later moved, according to the Teutonic Order’s chronicles, was constant flooding. Within a short time, 2 towns had developed: The Old & the New, and the Teutonic Knights built their Castle very logically between the two. As Polish chronicler Jan Długosz described it back in 15^th century. “With its decorative buildings & brick tiles covering its roofs, Torun shines so wonderfully that few towns can match its beauty and magnificence”.

In the past, the city’s wealth was evident by looking at its defensive walls, town halls, burgher houses & numerous churches. Today, many of these relics of former glory remain for you to admire when you stroll around. Not all the town gates, walls & churches have survived the ravages of time, understandably, yet what is left is more than enough to captivate even the most demanding of visitors.

The medieval old town complex of Torun includes ruins of the Teutonic Knights’ castle, gates & towers of the long defensive city walls once protecting Torun from the Vistula side as well as many other buildings dating back to medieval times.

Its wealth of historic buildings & city defences, were all left mercifully untouched by WWII.

Today, the presence of two historical Market Squares serves a reminder that 2 towns once stood here. In the middle of the Old Town Square stands the monumental Town Hall, an absolute showstopper, one of the most imposing old town halls in northern Europe, today occupied by the regional Museum featuring valuable collections. Above its gate you can see the city’s symbol: an angel holding a key & a gate with 3 towers.

Visitors with keen eyes notice that in the gate is a door, which is permanently left half-open & half-closed. Why, many ask? Well, the explanation is actually rather simple: the city is closed to cruel enemies, but open to guests. 

With good reason, it’s also known as a city of peace:  2 Peace Treaties ending Polish-Teutonic wars were signed right here in 1411 & 1466. Under the latter treaty, Torun became a town belonging to the Kingdom of Poland.

The city is big on many bizarre legends & traditions involving animals.

Near the Town Hall, there is a frog (not real ones) fountain. Don’t leave without giving their backs a stoke - a small price to pay for, according to legend, happiness. Standing near the fountain, look upwards & around until you spot the black cat on the roof of one of the tenements. It is said to be the defender of the city.

Then there is the donkey. Yes, donkey. Many visitors are surprised to stumble upon the figure of a donkey standing near the Market Square. It may look cute, but its symbolism is actually quite dark: it is a reference to a former punishment site. In the olden days, unruly guards were seated on a donkey’s back, with a metal rod to inflict pain & weights tied to their feet to make the punishment even worse.

A statue with a nicer story is found on the other side of the Square. Filus, the flappy-eared dog, sits playfully next to a lamp post, its master’s bowler hat in its mouth. They say that if you stroke its head, you will get wiser & if you grab its tail, you will be lucky in love. Why choose? Do both! 

Beyond architecture, Torun is also well known as the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), one of the most important names in history.  His name (Mikołaj Kopernik in Polish) is all over the town & visitors can even buy gingerbread shaped in his image.

It remains a great mystery, even to this day, in which house exactly the great astronomer was born. But there is no mystery surrounding the font he was baptised in - that stands in the Copernicus Chapel at the imposing Cathedral of St. James’ the Baptist with its Gothic murals & spectacular stellar vaults. In 1500, a bell was hung in the tower. Dubbed “Tuba Dei” - God’s Trumpet, it was the biggest bell in the entire Kingdom of Poland at the time. Weighing over 7 tonnes, it is 2 metres high & over 2 metres in diameter. You can get a good look at it by climbing the Church tower. Up-close, its size is really rather imposing. From the Vistula side, you can also see the famous “raftsmen’s clock” on the same tower, unique in that it only has one hand.  

A stunning red-brick Gothic house that actually belonged to the Copernicus family, features the Museum of Copernicus that traces the life of the famous astronomer.

One attraction you shouldn’t miss are the remains of the Teutonic Castle. Built on a horseshoe plan, its construction started way back in the 13^th century, making it the first Teutonic castle on the right bank of the Vistula.

Mostly demolished by Torun’s burghers in the mid-15^th century, it is a stark reminder of the consequences of the abuse of power.

Torun is also well-known for its sublime gingerbread, which forms an important part of the city’s heritage. The oldest known recipe for Torun gingerbread actually comes from a medical book.

Museum of Torun Gingerbread & the Living Museum of Gingerbread invite guests to create their own gingerbread to take home as a souvenir (or, more likely, eat before you leave!) under the watchful eyes of master gingerbread bakers, surrounded by the aroma of spices. Visitors can obtain knowledge once kept very secret.

Modern Torun is a quickly developing large academic center with its Nicolaus Copernicus University & the city that hosts a great number of attractive artistic events. One of the many new tourist attractions is the Planetarium equipped with a high-tech auditorium & presenting diverse shows several times daily.

To really appreciate the city in all its glory, visitors need to either take a boat tour along on the Vistula, or cross the bridge to the left bank, where there is an observation deck especially for this purpose & one can catch  spectacular views of the vivid orange roofs, the majestic cathedral & the entire silhouette of this beautiful city. This panorama is considered one of the Wonders of Poland.

The tour concludes & you return to the hotel.

Balance of the day is free for independent exploration. Or perhaps opt for one of the options available (we will be happy to offer suggestions & make arrangements).

Early morning, depart for Wroclaw.

Arrive by noon & Check-in at the hotel.

Wrocław, the capital of Lower Silesia, is Poland’s 4^th largest city & a major industrial, commercial & educational centre for the region. It is full of monuments marking its thousand years of history.

In 1335, the city fell under the sway of the Czech king John of Luxembourg & broke its ties with Poland. Later Vratislav, together with entire Poland, fell under the sway of the Hungarian monarchy & it is from those times that the Hungarian name of the city, Boroszlo, dates.

Together with the Czech crown, Wrocław was incorporated into the Habsburg monarchy & renamed to Breslau. In 1741 the entire Silesia was taken over by Prussia & thus Wrocław was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia & later the German Reich, until 1945. After the Second World War, Wrocław was returned to Poland.

With visible reminders of Czech, German & Polish rule, Wrocław has become a truly modern European city with major festivals & rampant nightlife. The fact that it was chosen a 2016 European Capital of Culture speaks volumes about just how vibrant a city it is.

Having absorbed Bohemian, Austrian & Prussian influences, the colourful city has a unique architectural & cultural make-up, symbolised by its magnificent Market Square boasting a complex history spanning many centuries.

For over 1,000 years, the venerable city with an idyllic location, has been magnificently reflected in the waters of the River Oder & comprises12 islands on the Odra River & its forked tributaries and verdant riverside parks.

The most renowned of these are Ostrow Tumski & the Piasek island, a medieval residential quarter, today one of the Polish Monuments of History. The beautifully preserved Cathedral island is a treat for lovers of Gothic architecture.

On the “islands” it is hard to miss the Church of the Holy Cross & St. Bartholomew. The great medieval architect known as Magister Lapida Wilancius divided the interior of the building into 2 floors occupied by 2 separate churches.

More than 130 road bridges & footbridges pin together the riverbanks in Wroclaw - the only places where you will find more are Venice, Amsterdam, St. Petersburg & Hamburg. 

The distinctive turquoise railings of the Tumski Bridge are heavily weighed down by hundreds of love padlocks - just like the Ponte Milvio in Rome.  Another must-see is the Witches’ Bridge, Wrocław’s highest at some 45 feet above ground level, which connects the towers of the Gothic Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene & also offers incredible views of the city.

But it is the impressive Grunwald or Grunwaldzki Bridge, with its pioneering suspension structure & stunning nightly illumination that has been a trademark of the city for over a century now.

It is a lively cultural hub, with several theatres, major festivals, rampant nightlife &

Culture enthusiasts will find plenty of lively options. Wrocław houses 18 large Museums, the most interesting of which include the National Museum, the Museum of Medal Art & the Museum of Military Engineering.

Over 17 Theaters & Concert Halls are active in the city, among them the Wrocław Philharmonic & Opera House as well as the Polish, CAPITOL Music, Pantonime Theater & National Forum of Music, whose acoustic design was the work of specialists from New York.

Interesting projects include Art galleries, Piesn Kozła Theatre & the GEST - the Mime Theatre at the Wrocław University of Technology.

1,000 Years of Wrocław exhibition at the Historical Museum located in the Royal Palace, surrounded by beautiful Baroque gardens, offers a real insight into the city’s complicated history.

Some important festivals are Wratislavia Cantans for music, Nowe Horyzonty for films and the Crime & Mystery Festival for literature.

As many as 8000 baroque, classicist, secession & modernist tenement houses are preserved all over the city. The city center is surrounded by an urban moat, one of the few preserved in Europe.

The stunning Baroque “House Under the Golden Sun” (because there is a large golden sun on the centre-top of its facade) is home to the Pan Tadeusz Museum, housing the manuscript of Adam Mickiewicz’s famous poem. After dusk, you can see folks in traditional costumes from the Romantic period moving behind the curtains on the first floor - enticing you to enter the Museum.

The late-Gothic Old Town Hall is quite the showstopper. Today, it houses the Museum of Burgher Art & in its basement is the oldest bar in Europe.

The University of Wrocław with a population of more than 130,000 students, also has a Museum, the magnificent Aula Leopoldina Hall with its splendid baroque decorations & an Astronomical Observatory in the Mathematical Tower with priceless instruments such as a celestial globe that dates back 500 years.

The University is merely one of the 35 academic institutions of the city & Wrocław was a home to as many as 10 Nobel Prize laureates.

The dynamic soul of the city is the charming Old Town Square, one of the biggest in Europe that offers a perfect blend of historical Renaissance & Mannerist tenement buildings & post-war reconstructions. Another interesting area around the Square is the Salt Square. Busker music plays day & night and mouth-watering smells come from inviting restaurant terraces.

Visitors cannot fail to be impressed with the huge late Gothic Town Hall with its tower, measuring 220 feet, housing the oldest clock tower bell, installed back in 1368! The Town Hall cellars are home to Piwnica Świdnicka, one of the oldest European restaurants dating back to 1273.

Close by, the Four Denominations District is a unique place, where an Orthodox church, a Roman Catholic church, a Lutheran church & a Synagogue all stand harmoniously beside one another. This charming area is not just a space of religious worship but also caters to those who follow the gods of music - it is a popular clubbing spot! Its beauty may provoke controversy, but its revolutionary design is something most can agree on.

The huge, reinforced-concrete Centennial Hall, (where policeman Eberhard Mock from Marek Krajewski’s crime novels debuted as a specialist solving the biggest crimes), is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its 28 metre Dome is topped with a steel & glass lantern and the Fountain in front of the hall is not only the largest in Poland but one of the biggest in Europe, spurting out water from 300 nozzles, “breathing” fire from 3 outlets & illuminated by some 800 lights.

Another attraction is the Racławice Panorama - a monumental painting of the 1794 battle between Polish & Russian forces. Painted by a team of artists supervised by Wojciech Kossak & Jan Styka, it measures an extraordinary 114 metres long & 15 metres high and is kept in a purpose-built rotunda where added elements, decorations & lighting bring the painting to life. The detail & scale of this artwork is quite mindboggling. 

Meanwhile, over at the ultra-cool underground, interactive exhibition at Hydropolis, one of Europe’s most advanced centre, visitors can learn fascinating facts about the city water supply system from many intriguing angles, via all kinds of multi-media technology, interactive installations, replicas & models. Kids of all ages love it!

Around 02.00 pm, meet the Tour-guide in the lobby & proceed for a 4 hour, ‘walking’ sightseeing tour.

Come back to the hotel.

Balance of the day is free for independent exploration. Or perhaps opt for one of the options available (we will be happy to offer suggestions & make arrangements).

Early morning, depart for Krakow.

Enroute, stop at Czestochowa to visit Jasna Gora Monastery.

Czestochowa on the Warta River in southern Poland, is considered the spiritual capital of Poland & the country’s most popular pilgrimage site.

A former industrial-powerhouse turned cultural hub, its rich mining & manufacturing history is explored in a number of interesting museums, whilst the legacy of its philanthropic industrialists can be seen in the vibrant cultural community in the town.

Bordered with parks, cafes & historic Mansions of local industrialists, walking is the perfect way to explore this pretty town. 

Staszic Park & 3 May Park covers almost 12 hectares between them & are home to more than 1,500 specimens of trees. Staszic Park is also home to the Astronomical Observatory - a multimedia attraction for children & teenagers; the only model peasant homestead in Poland ; Museum of Iron Ore Mining - a unique underground experience in subterranean tunnels dug below Staszic Park in the 70s - where exhibits explore the centuries-old tradition of ore mining that is characteristic of this region of Poland. 

Bordering either side of the pedestrianised Ill Aleje, they have fountains, play parks & pavilions to explore.

Look out for photo opportunities on the bench / statues dedicated to actor Marek Perepeczko, who died in Częstochowa & lyrical poet Halina Poswiatowska, who was born in the city & has the House of Poetry - dedicated to her. Wieza Babel mural & National Remembrance Square are also popular with sightseers.

Another interesting place to visit is the Museum of Match Production, only one of its kind in Europe, where Visitors can learn about match making (not the romantic kind), as well as see an exhibition of vintage Matchboxes & Match art.  There is also the Museum of Railway History in the Częstochowa station building.

Częstochowa is home to a large number of Churches. The beautiful red-brick neo-gothic Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Family; the oldest parish St Sigmund’s Church & St Barbara’s Church noted for its part in the Hussite desecration of the Black Madonna. 

Częstochowa also has a rich Jewish heritage & the Jewish cemetery, set in woodland with overgrown greenery & tumbledown tombstones, is a popular & evocative place to visit. 

Osrodek Promocji Kultury, Gaude Mater is the town’s centre for culture & music, holding regular programme of summer concerts & art exhibitions, including European folk culture days & the World Congress of Czestochowa.

They also co-organise the famous International Festival of Sacred Music in May which features an international competition for young composers.

Some other notable events include the Bach Family Music Festival; the annual ‘Night of Culture’; the Frytka OFF-jazz Festival of Alternative Culture; the Hip Hop Elements Festival; the Retro Festival; Summer Chill; the Aleje - Tu Się Dzieje summer street event; Bronislaw Huberman Philharmonic performance.

However, the city is best known for the famous Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora, home of the Black Madonna painting, a shrine to the Virgin Mary which attracts 4 - 5 million visitors from around the world who come with offerings for the Virgin. Some walk for 20 days over hundreds of kilometres to fall at the feet of the Black Madonna.

The image of Our Lady in Czestochowa is among that small group of Black Madonnas recognized throughout the entire world, largely due to the recent manifestations of public piety shown by the previous Polish Pope, John Paul II who journeyed to Czestochowa.

Poland’s spiritual heartland is not just for the faithful. With a rich religious, cultural & industrial history, it has plenty to offer tourists & pilgrims alike. The Monastery, one of the most beautiful in Eastern Europe, is the country’s national Shrine & one of the highlights of the region. During pilgrimage times - particularly the Day of Assumption on 15 August - hordes of devotees become a main attraction for people-watchers & a deterrent for crowd-weary wanderers.

From the inspirational Shrine to the stunning architecture of religious & historic landmarks, and a rich calendar of arts & music events, Częstochowa is a popular daytrip from Krakow. Following an influx of resources from the EU, renovations have been working their way up the main thoroughfare towards the Monastery, adding new pride to ancient reverence.

The 14^th century Painting by Luke the Evangelist, featuring Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus, housed in the Chapel of Our Lady in the Baroque cathedral, is the focus of any visit to Jasna Gora. It is unveiled to visitors during daily mass at specific times, with a special musical accompaniment called the ‘royal intrada’. The Painting has been credited with numerous military successes, including the defeat of Swedish forces at Jasna Gora in 1655 & the victory in the Battle of Vienna in 1683.

The heavily fortified 14^th century Complex dominates the skyline from its hilltop perch at the end of Ill Aleje, a tree-lined avenue bordered by 2 Parks.

The Armoury building is a reminder that the Shrine had to defend itself from enemy attacks many times in its history, including a raid by Hussites who cut the painting so badly it had to be repainted. The ramparts & arsenal with cannons are still in place to explore today. 

The iconic Steeple - the tallest in Poland - can be seen from across the city. For visitors willing to scale the 519 steps, the view from the top is worth it.

A Clock Tower overlooks the complex. Every 15 minutes, the 36 bells play hymns about the Blessed Virgin Mary or, depending on the season, Christmas carols & Easter songs.

The somewhat unassuming exterior of the Chapel belies the inspirational interior.  Stunning frescoes adorn the walls & ceiling of the chancel, which is hung with chandeliers. Ornate statues glisten in white, gold & silver against the dramatic dark ebony Alter. 

There is also the Museum of the 600^th Anniversary of Jasna Gora with a collection of Polish national treasures featuring 3 of the 12 dresses decorating the miraculous image; a collection of instruments of the Jasna Gora Ensemble that played music during the liturgy at the shrine from the 17^th century onwards; the Monastery’s foundation deeds.

Spend time at the Monastery & the city before continuing on to Krakow.

Reach the hotel in Krakow by afternoon & Check-in.

Situated on the famous River Vistula, Poland's former royal capital Krakow is one of the oldest & 2^nd largest city dating back to 7^th century.

Riveting History| Stunning Architecture| Cultural Treasures |Eat & Drink

Traditionally Krakow, named the European Capital of Culture in 2000, effortlessly fuses medieval pomp & pageantry with modern-day, student-fuelled fun into a harmonious whole & is one of the leading centers of Polish academic, cultural & artistic life and an important economic hub.

Alternating themes of destruction & rebirth run throughout Krakow's history, all the way back to the 13^th century, when marauding Tatars sacked the city & pierced the town crier's throat with an arrow. A century later, Krakow was back on top as Poland's capital & then dashed again in the 16^th century when the capital moved to Warsaw. In more recent times, Krakow re-emerged after WWI only to be occupied by Nazi Germany 20 years later. After that came Communism & another chapter of rebirth.

Krakow may no longer the political capital, but it makes a strong case for being the country's cultural capital. The annual list of festivals & events features a celebration of theatre, the arts, music, film, dance, literature and, yes, food almost every week. Outside the festival calendar, Cracovians are inveterate theatre-goers, jazz aficionados, poetry lovers, film buffs & klezmer listeners, and seemingly every corner of the city, every dark basement & hidden garden, buzzes with artistic anticipation.

It’s hard not to admire Krakow. Over the 1,000 years of Krakow's existence, all of the great European architectural styles - Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, baroque & art nouveau - have left their traces behind.

The number of monuments & places of cultural importance are almost intimidating. Delighted by the Jagiellonian-Habsburg glamour of the city, foreign tourists happily stroll through the narrow streets.

The Old Town district alone is home to about 6,000 historic sites & works of art.  The most popular landmarks include the Main Market Square, St. Mary's Basilica, the Sukiennice Cloth Hall, Wawel Castle.

National Art Museum is just one of the over 25 Museums & public Art Galleries throughout the city. Luckily Krakow escaped from most of the destruction that many other parts of Poland suffered in the 20^th century wars.

Because of this, the rich history of Krakow can be seen today and provides a showcase for it' historic styles of architecture which are easily recognizable throughout the city as you travel outward from the center.

See the world's largest late-Gothic Altarpiece within the darkened interiors of St Mary's Basilica & then step out into the sunshine to see the gleaming 16^th century Renaissance Cloth Hall, built at a time when Krakow's royal authority was at its apex.

No accounting of Krakow's charms would be complete without a nod toward the culinary delights. Noteworthy classic Polish dishes include the delicious dumpling snack of pierogi, kiełbasa (Polish sausage), mouth-watering open sandwiches known as zapiekanka &, for a sweet treat, placki ziemniaczane - fried potato pancakes sprinkled with sugar served everywhere from grand Gothic cellars to simple stands. Try the sumptuous blueberry mazurka, a Polish wedding offering created from layers of crumbly pastry, spiked with blueberry vodka (naturally). But Cracovians also love to expand their palates. French, Italian & Asian-inspired restaurants are popular, while vegan & vegetarian foods are experiencing something of a moment - vegan sushi & meatless kebabs are all the rage. Finish off with lody (ice cream), a national mania.

Balance of the day is free for independent exploration. Or perhaps opt for one of the options available (we will be happy to offer suggestions & make arrangements).

Morning, meet the Tour-guide in the lobby at 08.00 am for a 4 hour sightseeing tour.

The capital of Małopolska province is a veritable gem of national cultural heritage, overflowing with legends, priceless historical architecture & art, as well as fabulous leisure & entertainment options.

The rich history of Krakow can be seen today & provides a showcase for it's historic styles of architecture which are easily recognizable throughout the city as you travel outward from the center. Luckily Krakow escaped from most of the destruction that many other parts of Poland suffered in the 20^th century wars.

The city is famous for its unique Nativity scenes (this local craft is included on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity), the biggest collection of which can be found at the National Art Museum Krakow, just one of the over 25 Museums & public Art Galleries throughout the city.

Krakow’s greatest artistic treasure is the Princes Czartoryski Collection, which includes paintings by Leonardo da Vinci & Rembrandt.

Another must-see is the magnificent, modern, timber & glass fronted Małopolska Garden of Arts, which combines sound, theatre, installation & multimedia art. It also happens to be the experimental space of the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre, an institution founded more than a century ago & the 2^nd oldest in Krakow after the Helena Modrzejewska National Stary Theatre. 

The beautiful red-brick Muzeum Armii Krajowej (Home Army Museum) roofed with armoured glass, within the renovated 19^th century walls of a former auxiliary building of the Krakow Fortress features a unique collection of mementos & personal effects donated directly by veterans is really nothing short of amazing.

No talk of Krakow’s architecture would be complete without a mention of Nowa Huta, the socialist town that appears in Andrzej Wajda’s film “Man of Marble”. Standing among the box-like blocks of flats is the unusual Church of Our Lady Queen of Poland - Ark of Our Lord. Unusual because it may well be the first Church you see that is shaped like a boat. Yes, a boat. Inside, the evocative figure of the Rising Christ, who seems almost to be taking flight towards heaven from the Cross hanging above the altar, was sculpted by an outstanding contemporary artist Prof. Bronisław Chromy.

Before you leave the communist town, the Nowa Huta Culture Centre, the Ludowy Theatre & the Cistercian Monastery in Mogiła are all worth a visit.  

The Nowa Huta Meadows in particular is an attractive protected area with educational paths where you will find Jan Matejko’s manor house, with an original porch designed by the artist himself, as well as several mementos of him and also constitutional reformer & educationalist Hugo Kołłątaj.

Start the tour by following the traces of the medieval route, from Barbican & St. Florian’s Gate, which in the Middle-Ages was the main gate of the city. The second you pass the Gate, you will find yourself in a completely different world: the oldest part of Krakow, which somehow survived the turmoil of war.

Every elegant, stylish building here has a story to tell. In the Main Market Square of the Old Town, stop to smell the floral aromas coming from Krakow’s famous flower sellers, as the familiar clip-clop sound of the horse-drawn carriages passes you by. Overhead, pigeons fly over St. Mary’s Basilica. The brick Gothic church is an absolute must see & there is even a revolving hologram encouraging people to visit. Those different-sized church towers are allegedly the result of a deadly quarrel between 2 competing builder brothers! We can’t be sure of this, however we are sure that the breath-taking darkened interiors are something visitors will never forget, especially the priceless & world's largest late - Gothic Altar carved by Veit Stoss.

The 16^th century Renaissance Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) built at a time when Krakow's royal authority was at its apex, where trade continues to flourish today as it has throughout the ages. You could even pick up traditional regional costumes or opt for other more typical souvenirs (that may be easier to fit in your suitcase!).

The Art Gallery located on the 1^st floor of the Cloth Hall features 19^th century Polish Art that includes Władysław Podkowinski’s famous painting Frenzy, depicting a naked woman on a black horse as well as paintings by Jan Matejko, Jozef Chełmoski & Henryk Siemiradzki, among others. Treat yourself to some amber & silver goods, arts & crafts or even miniatures of the unique Krakow-style nativity scenes.

Venture underground, underneath the main Square, to enjoy an interactive multi-media exhibition called “Following Traces of Krakow’s European Identity”, that takes you back through 1,000 years of history of the city’s beginnings.

The Royal Road & the Stanisław Wyspianski Route cut right across the Square, leading along the green Planty Park that surrounds the Old Town to the stunning complex on Wawel Hill, a microcosm of Polish culture, that was formerly the home to 3 dynasties of Polish monarchs - the majestic Wawel Castle. The walk up the hill is an unforgettable experience in itself. From the walls of the Castle you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Vistula, Podgorze district & Old Town.

At the Castle, tourists can visit some of the exquisite stately chambers as well as the private royal apartments with their historical interiors filled with priceless art & rare ancient objects, collection of matchless 16^th century monumental Flemish tapestries of Sigismund II Augustus, royal portraits, Italian Renaissance furniture, Italian & Dutch paintings of the 14^th - 17^th century. The Crown Treasury & Armoury features royal regalia, precious jewelry, weapons & armors, Turkish tents & banners, Turkish & Persian carpets, Chinese & Japanese ceramics.

Poland's impressive pearl of Renaissance architecture & national shrine - the Wawel Cathedral (Metropolitan Basilica of St. Stanislaus & St. Wenceslaus) - shelters plenty of superb church art with every inch of its ideally proportioned stone walls & dome covered with fine sculptures. 

The royal tombs under the floor Cathedral below their sarcophagi, dating back to 16^th & 17^th century entomb 10 Polish monarchs together with their spouses & occasionally children. The National Bards’ Crypt, where several famous Poles are buried, including Jan Długosz, Stanisław Wyspianski & Czesław Miłosz, are worth seeing. It also contains a symbolic tomb of Cyprian Kamil Nowid, another great poet & a plaque commemorating Frederic Chopin.

Continue onto its necropolis to the National Pantheon at the striking, cream-walled-green-roofed Church on the Rock

The tour concludes & you are transferred back to the hotel or continue exploring on your own.

Alas, the experience comes to an end & it is time to say good-bye to the warm Polish hospitality & heritage and go home.

Check-out of the hotel by 11: 00 am (if the departure time is later in the evening, we will request the hotel to allow the usage of the facilities & to leave the luggage at the Bell Desk). 

You say: ‘Europe’, you think: ‘Poland’. Still Europe’s secret, a hidden treasure on the touristic map with beautiful clean cities. It is where East meets West, North meets South – literally & lyrically. It is where you can see influences of different cultures intertwine.

Because over 1000 years of history give you over 1000 reasons to come. Because every brick of old Castle walls has a fascinating story to tell. Because of the well-preserved nature & picturesque landscapes. Because of the tasty food & friendly people. Because a visit to Poland will give you a more profound understanding of the history of Europe. Not to forget the 14 UNESCO World Heritage Sites out of more than a thousand historical remnants.

Enough reasons, we are sure, that will entice you to come back to Polska.
