Three Capitals

 

There are endless reasons to be swept off your feet by Poland’s capitals, past and present. Warsaw, the modern capital,  is a bustling metropolis with a turbulent history, and  everyone can find something interesting there from a wealth of tourist attractions. If you prefer legends and tales of old, then the traditional capital of Kraków is for you. Settled upon the defeat of a dragon, magic still exists in Kraków’s cobbled streets, the Main Market Square, the legendary Wawel Castle and many more places. Nowadays, Kraków offers a harmonious blend of past and present with every step.

Generally considered the capital of the mountains and the mountain culture of the south of Poland, Zakopane sits at the foot of Mount Giewont on the mighty Tatra Mountains. With its breath-taking landscapes, traditional wooden architecture and delicious food that can satisfy every traveller’s expectations, it’s also become the leisure capital of Poland.

 

In Zakopane, the Tatras couldn’t be closer, and on this trip you definitely won’t be bored!
