Poland Travel Itinerary

We started off with the capital of Poland, Warsaw, an incredible yet unknown place by many who visit Europe. We stayed at one of the cheapest, yet comfiest Airbnb I’ve ever been to. To begin with, I want to emphasize on the beauty of this city’s Christmas market, a place in which you feel in the inside of movie and can find multiple little kiosks selling a variety of things; you can schedule yourself to spend an entire evening visiting it, since it is in one the capital’s main squares thus, you’ll have plenty to do even if you go through the stands quickly.

During the second day, we visited The Warsaw Rising Museum, which is a must if you come to the city. After going through every exhibition, I truly have the outmost respect for the Polish people and can’t believe I knew so little about what the country had experienced during and after World War II.

The last day we spent it walking around and getting ready to travel to our next destination. Food, people, and history are absolutely unmatched.

Finally, after some hours on a train, we arrived at Krakow. Here, as well as in our last destination, we stayed at an amazing Airbnb, which was located within walking distance of everything we wanted to visit. On our first day, we travelled to Auschwitz by bus; you must have a reservation prior to your arrival at the old concentration camp, since visits are scheduled by the hour. It was a truly heart wrenching experience nonetheless, it is absolutely worth the trip.

Afterwards, we took a recommendation given by our Airbnb host and went to eat at a place which turned out to be a 2-star Michelin restaurant. We were a little scared to even open the menu since we expected prices to be skyrocket high, but it ended up being a reasonably affordable meal for an outstanding quality.

On our last day, we visited the Church in which Pope John Paul II was located before being elected as Pope. It was a beautiful place, and its energy was heartwarming in every way.
