Situated in southern Poland, Krakow is one of the country’s most ancient cities and it’s former capital is the real pearl in its crown.

Warsaw

Kraków may have the beauty and Gdańsk the seashore, but Warsaw has the culture, the energy and the action. The symbol of the city is the Mermaid, featured on the city seal. Poland’s capital was flattened in WWII and, ever since, the city’s been racing to replace what was lost. After 1989, that pace accelerated, and central Warsaw today has so many booms, cranes and construction sites, you’d think you’d landed in Beijing. This booming city will be popping up on many travel bucketlists over the next few years.
