Poland Hotels

Lying in the heart of Europe, with a northern coastline, Poland has been fought over, invaded and influenced over the centuries; it now emerges as a strong nation where people can take pride in their independence. It isn’t over-populated, with 120 people per square kilometre. Poland, despite its difficulties, has managed to conserve much of its history, cultural wealth and traditions. Emerging from behind the old ‘Iron Curtain’ in the late 80s, the new government of the day applied a shock therapy which booted the country into the western world at astonishing speed - a process that included important cultural elements such as freedom of speech and human rights as well as close alliances with Europe. Poland has a variety of landscapes from coastal plains and river valleys to desert, hills and lake districts, and mountain ranges.

Almost 30% of its territory is forested and there are very many protected areas with important protected species no longer found elsewhere in Europe. For bird watchers, Poland has areas that are breeding destinations for many migrants. In the main, tourists travel to its major cities like Warsaw and Krakow, and also to revisit and remember some of the saddest history of recent years, encapsulated in Auschwitz.

However, more are discovering the beautiful lake districts and their wildlife.
