Discover Poland
Situated at the centre of Europe, and the
largest of the former Eastern European
states, Poland is fast becoming a key member
of the EU. Its main ferry port are Gdynia
and Gdansk. After being torn apart in the
Second World War when it was invaded first
by Germany, then by Russia, Poland is a
nation with a proud cultural heritage and
strong theatrical and musical traditions.
Warsaw and the main cities have theatres and
opera companies that put on a whole range of
musical and cultural programs for both
locals and visitors. Poland shares borders
to the east with the Russian Federation,
Belarus, Ukraine and Lithuania, to the south
with the Czech Republic and the Slovak
Republic and to the west with Germany.
To the north lies the Baltic Sea where you
can take a ferry to Poland from Sweden. The
Baltic coast provides over 500km (300 miles)
of sandy beaches, bays, steep cliffs and
dunes. The climate is temperate with warm
summers, crisp, sunny autumns and cold
winters.
Travel in Poland
Cheap and efficient Intercity trains are
operated by Polskie Koleje Państwowe. By
car, be aware that traffic drives on the
right, and standard international traffic
signs are used. Major inter-city routes use
the prefix `E' and motorways use `A'. Petrol
stations located along main routes are open
24 hours a day. Road quality ranges from
smooth brand new motorways to pot-holed
single lanes.

Things to
see
The principal city in the southwest
and the capital of Lower Silesia,
Wroclaw (Breslau) is the cradle of
the Polish state as it here that the
Polanie tribe built their first
fortified settlement on Ostrow
Tumski Island.
Visit the Carpathian Mountains,
including the Tatras. These lie in
the extreme south and the mountain
scenery, folklore and sports
facilities make them well worth a
visit.
See the Icon of the Black Madonna,
also known as the miraculous
painting of Our Lady, in the huge
Jasna Góra monastery complex at
Czestochowa, 100km (60 miles) north
of Kraków. Take an elevator to the
30th floor observation deck of the
Palace of Culture and Science for a
great view of Warsaw.
