Essential Poland
On this focused tour, visit four Polish UNESCO sites in six days - Warsaw's Old Town, Krakow's Historic Center, the Auschwitz/Birkenau camp and the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Days 1-2: Warsaw
In Poland's lively capital, take a walking tour of the reconstructed Old Town and the powerful Royal Palace, home of Poland's kings from the 16th century up to the country's partition. Visit gracious Lazienki Royal Gardens, and, in the summertime, enjoy an outdoor Chopin concert.
Days 3-6: Krakow
Board a morning express train to Krakow, Poland's royal capital from the 11th to the 16th century. Wander the medieval Market Square and Wawel Castle, the seat of Polish kings for hundreds of years. Pay your respects at Auschwitz, where 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, were systematically murdered by the Third Reich. In the Wieliczka Salt Mine, admire the Chapel of the Blessed Kinga, where everything, including statuary and chandeliers, is carved from salt.
