Your Perfect European Destination is Poland

You like history? What I'm about to suggest might not be the first place that springs to mind for a history-focused vacation in Europe, but hear me out...Your ideal destination in Europe is Poland!

From medieval squares teeming with architectural wonders to poignant World War II sites, Polish cities offer a remarkable journey through time. Did you know that the first shots of WWII were fired in Gdansk? 

Gdansk is also where the Solidarity movement got it's start. You'll find remnants of communist resistence when you seek out Wroclaw's gnomes. 

Poland's historical tapestry is richly woven, offering a powerful and unforgettable experience for any visitor who craves a deeper understanding of the past.

Booking.com

Poland's cities like Poznan and Bydgoszcz are excellent Ryanair destinations. The country is well-served by this low-cost carrier. Make sure to bring your extra loose jeans. Polish food is both delicious and hearty.
