A variety of nature, historical monuments, and a respect for traditions, interesting modern times, and hospitality are some of the elements which make our country very interesting for foreign visitors. The Polish landscape is very diversified. At the south of Poland are Carpathian and Sudeten Mountains. The Lowlands and Uplands stretch across central Poland. The northern part of the country with its Masurian and Pomeranian lake lands has its well forested, rolling hills, dotted with thousands of lakes and further north we have the sandy beaches on the Baltic coast. Our eventful history and central location in Europe, where religions and the influence and authority of many nations have met over the centuries, has made Poland a country that intrigues and fascinates visitors with its material and spiritual culture. The larger Polish cities are the main destination for many travelers. These cities possess a wealth of historical monuments, are host to prominent artists and offer a variety of cultural events. Polish cities are also visited by business people, and of course shoppers, sometimes playing the role of an appealing stopover for these travelers on their way to other parts of Europe. A Tour of Poland is an essential requirement today for an understanding of modern Europe. The hospitality at welcoming pensions and five star hotels, campsites, mountain refuges and youth hostels, riverside yachting marinas, golf courses and many other quality facilities and all manner of recreational leisure activity awaits all those who have chosen Poland as their destination.
