A journey through Poland is one of powerful contrasts—where somber history meets age-old traditions. Reflect at Auschwitz-Birkenau, a moving memorial to the past, then descend into the remarkable underground world of the Wieliczka Salt Mines. Discover the cultural heart of Poland in Krakow and the resilient spirit of Warsaw. Gothic castles, baroque monasteries, and wooden mosques reflect the country’s religious diversity. And from the birthplace of vodka to a growing craft beer scene, Poland offers plenty of surprises.
