What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

What travelers are saying

"The trip was well laid out. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The only complaint is some of our travel documents that were sent out were not in English. If your sending documents out correspondence should be in both the native language and the language of the people the correspondence to. Other than that a great first time experience."

  • Poland is an extremely affordable country. Key tourism costs, like admission tickets, restaurant meals, and hotels are all very reasonably priced. 

Additional details

Common Countries Also Visited on Poland Tours

Poland is often included on Europe tours that include other nearby countries. Poland shares land borders with Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and Russia. European tour packages offer the chance to visit one or more of these places, as well as a stop to Poland and the many cities the country has to offer.

Estonia and Budapest are  also very popular stops on Polish tours.

What is the Weather Like in Poland?

Poland features a mixture of continental and oceanic climate influences. The country experiences extremely cold winters, often below freezing, and fairly warm summers.

Winters are often freezing and springtime is also very cold and will bring about snow showers. Summers experience temperatures of around 64 degrees Fahrenheit with the occasional rain shower. Around Autumn, the temperatures begin to decrease.

Who Will Enjoy Visiting Poland?

Absolutely anyone will enjoy visiting Poland! Polish cuisine and architecture bring many tourists in every year. History buffs will especially love this country due to its historical architecture, fairytale castles, and WWII stories.

Nature lovers will also love Poland. Mountains covered in lush vegetation and thick forests like Bialowieza Forest, make for great hiking trips. The Great Masurian Lake District, a labyrinth of rivers, is a great place for scenic boat trip.

When is the Best Time to Visit Poland?

The best times to visit Poland are during the summer and spring months when the weather is warm and the colors of nature are at their most vibrant. However, during the summer months, you will need to pack an umbrella because the weather is extremely unpredictable in Poland, with rain showers and occasional thunderstorms. The streets become flooded with locals and tourists alike filling the open air cafes and museums.

If you are looking for a quieter time in Poland as well as a good ski trip, then winter would be the ideal time to visit. This is the least popular time amongst tourists, but it is also the driest. You will also find good deals on flights when booking at this time.

The good news is, no matter what time of year you are visiting Poland, there is always something to do.

Key Polish Phrases for Travelers

Polish is known to be one of the most difficult languages to learn, with J’s sounding out as Y’s and W’s making a V sound, it may get slightly frustrating to catch on. Here are some key  phrases with simplified phonetics to help you on your trip:

  • Hello/hi/bye (informal): Czesc (cheshked)
  • Nice to meet you: Milo Mi
