Would you like to visit a chapel that is over 300 feet underground and carved entirely out of salt?

This is just one of many incredible things to do in Poland.

Poland is a vibrant country in Eastern Europe with an overwhelmingly long list of great things to do. From visiting St. Kinga’s Chapel in the Wieliczka Salt Mine to touring the biggest castle in the world, Poland has some eye-popping attractions that could appeal to just about anyone. Warsaw, Poland’s capital, is an incredible city to explore with a really young vibe to it. It is also over twice as big as the next most populated city in Poland, meaning that it is where many travelers start their Poland exploration.

While Warsaw draws many tourists strictly because of its size, Krakow might be an even better place to start your trip in Poland. Krakow is located in the southern end of Poland, and it is located very close to some of the most important sites in the entire country, including the Wieliczka Salt Mine and the former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Krakow itself is a very vibrant and unique city that deserves several days to explore, too. After all, it is the birthplace of Pope John Paul II!
