Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the golden sand of the Baltic coastal beaches to the north and the rocky crags of the Tatras to the south. There is the wonderful network of great Mazurian Lakes for water sports fans and the green wilds of the Bieszczady Mountains for those who like hiking trips.

Forthose with a taste for history, visit the many painstakingly restored old town complexes, the Royal castles of Warsaw and Krakow (the former capital) and to the old palaces erected by Poland's magnates. Numerous museums bring to mind the memory of bygone centuries, such as the Nicolaus Copernicus Biographical Museum in the former seat of Warmian bishops in Frombork, or the medieval underground salt mine in Wieliczka.
