POLAND
WELCOME TO 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. Meet the free roaming European bison- Europe's largest animal- in the Bialowieska Forest, enjoy photo-safari in the unique Biebrzanskie Marshes, take a raft run down Dunajec River gorge, or watch the shifting sand dunes of the Slowinski National Park.
Those with a
taste for history and its momentos 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. They will certainly enjoy our museums which include the unique in Europe, medieval, underground salt-mine in Wieliczka and the Nicolaus Copernicus Biographical Museum in the old bishops' seat in Frombork. 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, the Jazz Jamboree International Festival of Jazz Music, the Piknik Country Festival of Country Music, and many cultural events for youth and folklore festivals.
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. It is the homeland of Pope John Paul II and a country of people open and hospitable to visitors. Poland is also the homeland of many Nobel prize winners: Henryk Sienkiewicz, Wladyslaw Reymont, Czeslaw Milosz, Wieslawa Szymborska (literature), Maria Sklodowska-Curie (chemistry and physics), and Lech Walesa (peace). In spite of a turbulent history and the changes shaping Polish society today, Poles have vigorously maintained a distinct sense of culture and community.
Come and meet them on their home ground and visit the land that continues to motivate and inspire them.
