The country is one of great tradition and beauty. A country rich in history and amazing places to visit. The summers are generally nice and sunny while winter can be very cold so take your thermals! On our last trip it touched -25 with plenty of snow. Poland is like a different country at different seasons so why not visit at different times of the year. Poland before Christmas is magical wioth Polish markets. You can Ski in the mountain regions or wait until summer and bask in sunshine and explore some fo the fantastic cities or countryside.
