Poland

Since the 1st of May Poland has been a member of the European Union. A visa is not required for EU and US citizens (check for other nationalities). A passport that is still valid for 6 months after your return date is required.

Poland is in the middle.

Its environment is extremely varied as there are no natural barriers which would separate Poland from the rest of the continent. Nature of Poland compiles the features characteristic of the whole Europe. Animal and plant species of Central Europe occur here, but there also are some species characteristic of the northern parts of the continent.

The ninth country of the Old Continent covers 312,685 km2 and is inhabited by more than 39 million people. The capital is Warsaw. White and red in two horizontal parallel strips are the national colours of the Polish flag.

The landscape of Poland consists mostly of lowland country, and areas 300m below sea level constitute 91.3% of the total area. There are however several mountain ranges of which Rysy (2499m), located in the High Tatra Mountains, is the highest peak. The two main rivers traversing the country leading into the Baltic Sea are Vistula and Odra. There are many lakes situated throughout the country, particularly in the enchanted regions of Masuria and Pomerania. Poland is rich in raw materials with more than 70 different minerals mined, including hard and brown coal, sand, gravel and calciferous rocks. Forests cover much of the land, Dolnoslakie, Bialowieska, Augustowska, Tucholskie Forests are among the largest of them, the latter of which is located near Bydgoszcz.

The climate of Poland is very changeable and there are significant fluctuations of the seasons. The country is divided into two distinct climates - moderately warm with rain and cold with snow for most of the winter season particularly in the forest areas. Summer average temperatures range between 20° C and 23° C.

Poland is more than 1000 years old, and is very careful to preserve its history and its great monuments. Cities such as Poland's capital, Warsaw, and Cracow, Gdansk or Torun (situated only 40km away from Bydgoszcz), are known throughout the world and are of great historical interest to tourists. Foreigners are also frequent guests of the spa-tourist cities such as Sopot, Miedzyzdroje, Kolobrzeg and many more.

Llies in the heart of Europe - the geometric centre of the continent is right here. Warsaw is not far from other European cities: Paris and London are 2 hours away by plane, Vienna and Berlin not much more than an hour. You can get here quickly by international roads and railway connections. Half a million places to stay, thousands of restaurants, hundreds of forms of leisure and entertainment - they're all waiting for visitors. Poland is a country that is safe and friendly for visitors from abroad, a statement confirmed by official international statistics. In figures concerning access to cash machines, for instance, Poland is 8th in Europe. Mobile phone networks cover 94% of the country.

You can find more or less everything in Poland: alpine mountains, wide beaches, clean lakes, deep forests, world-class historic monuments, and friendly people. The climate is temperate, and the people warm and hospitable. Polish cities with a thousand-year history invite their visitors to encounters with culture, and Poland's villages and small-time towns offer the opportunity to get away from the bustle of modern life. And all this comes with a backdrop of breathtaking natural landscapes, because Poland's greatest attraction is nature. Wild, untouched, more diverse than in most countries either in Europe or the world and, what's more, easily accessible. Tourists value this greatly and their number is constantly increasing.
