With so many incredible options on our European doorstep, Poland may not be the first destination that springs to mind.

But this sprawling and buzzy country might just be the break you’re looking for if you seek a holiday with plenty of sightseeing, brilliant food and European charm by the bucketload.

And with a handful of destination cities to tick-off, there’s no reason why you couldn’t spend a whole week hopping from centre to centre, rather than packing a quick trip to Kraków into a stopover weekend.
