Cracow
Krakow is a wonderful city. It’s full name is Krakow – the city of Polish kings. This is a Polish cultural centre. There are always a few or even several cultural events happening at the same time. This is the city where just walking in narrow streets of the Old Town is a great pleasure and adventure. There is a number of lovely places to enjoy a good cup of coffee in a cosy cafe located on a quiet street or to find a place full of music, people and indulge in fun until the morning hours. These are only some of the attractions worth visiting…

Tatry
The Tatra Mountains are the highest and most beautiful mountain range in our country and one of the largest in the Carpathians. Rysy is the highest peak in Poland, at 2 499 meters above sea level. The whole range is protected within the Tatra National Park. Tourists from all corners of Poland and from abroad come to visit Tatra Mountains each year.
Zakopane – majestically beautiful town lying at the foot of the Tatra Mountains captivates tourists from every corner of the country and Europe. Beautiful views of the mountains, wooden houses, and smiling people – this is a picture of Zakopane.

Pieniny
are another beautiful mountain range within a belt of lime-rock peaks. On the Polish side there are numerous observation platforms overlooking the canyon of the Dunajec River. At the base of the Pieniny Mountains the locations that are worth visiting are the Royal Castle in Czorsztyn, Horvath Castle in Niedzica, a dam on the Dunajec River and the health resorts in Kroscienko and Szczawnica with their mineral waters springs and good range of spa treatments.
Dunajec River
Between Krakow and Zakopane there is a thrilling adventure waiting for you – rafting on the rapid river named Dunajec. It is one of the most beautiful rivers in Poland. Dunajec is surrounded by a canyon created by Pieniny Mountains.
The Pieninski National Park is unusual in many aspects. Its small area boasts a unique landscape and natural features. The limestone rocks of this belt, throughout millenia, have been weathered into round shapes from the north and the dramatic, high cliffs on the southern side.
We strongly recommend:
Dunajec rafting – even in the night!
Niedzica Castle – visit with ghosts legends!

Auschwitz
KL Auschwitz was the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers. Over 1.1 million men, women and children lost their lives here. The post-camp relics are protected by the Museum created in 1947. The Memorial today is i.a. the Archive and Collections as well as research, conservation and publishing center. There is no way to understand postwar Europe and the world without an in-depth confrontation between our idea of mankind and the remains of Auschwitz…
Jurassic Highlands
This is the land of white rocks, hills covered with beautiful beechen forests, crowned with the ruins of Eagles Nests (castles built on the rocks). This is an incredibly beautiful and historically, naturally and culturally diversed part of Poland. There are many ways to discover this breathtaking territory. Watching the rising sun over the forests and Jura’s rocks being up in the air is absolutely fascinating so you have to see this.
Jurassic Highlands are not only castles. Jura is made mostly of the lime rocks which are just perfect for rock climbing. It is a great way to be active on the fresh air and with beautiful landscapes around you. The next attraction can be a visit in a cave. Caves are a challenge that everyone with average physical efficiency can manage.
We strongly recommend:
Pieskowa Skała Castle
Climbing for everybody!
