Essential Poland

Welcome to your tour with Europamundo! We’ll transfer you to the hotel and you’ll have some free time. In the afternoon, you’ll find information about the start of your tour on the boards located at the hotel reception.

We’ll start the day with a panoramic tour of WARSAW with a local guide. Home to nearly two million people, this political and economic hub of Poland boasts a blend of modern architecture and meticulously restored historic buildings. We’ll stroll through the charming old town, featuring many old buildings, the Royal Palace, and cobbled streets, all restored after their destruction in World War II and now declared a World Heritage Site. We’ll visit the Palace of Culture, a skyscraper gifted by the Soviet Union, reflect on the history of what was once the largest Jewish ghetto in Europe, and wander through Lazienki Park, home to the Chopin Monument. You’ll have free time in the afternoon to visit museums, such as the National Museum and the Warsaw Rising Museum, or to explore the lively city center filled with shops and activities.

We’ll depart early for Wroclaw, a city founded in the 10th century and the capital of Lower Silesia, where Polish, Czech, Austrian, and German influences intertwine. Its historic center, beautifully reconstructed after World War II, is home to one of the most stunning squares in Poland. The city is also famous for its numerous bridges and canals, which add to its unique charm. In the afternoon, we’ll include a boat ride through its scenic canals. Afterward, you’ll have free time to explore at your leisure.

We’ll travel to the region of Greater Poland and reach its capital, Poznan, one of the oldest cities in the country. Its old town features the impressive Market Square, where the Town Hall is surrounded by colorful Renaissance buildings, creating a cheerful and inviting atmosphere. At noon, in this square, you’ll witness the charming 16thcentury tradition of two mechanical goats butting heads at the sound of the clock. You’ll have time for lunch and a stroll. We’ll then continue to Toruń, a Gothic walled city with a magnificent historic center, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the birthplace of Copernicus. If you wish, you can visit his museum/home. Afterward, we’ll travel to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, arriving at the end of the day.
