Poland is the new destination in eastern Europe for the independent traveller and anyone who is looking for that somewhere different on holiday or for activity holidays in unspoiled open spaces.

There are numerous national parks in Poland offering a great variety of sports and activities. The Poles themselves enjoy their national parks and you'll meet them at the or whilst participating. Like its tourist logo depicts, Poland is a country of forests, mountains and rivers; offering climbing, hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, sailing and all manner of outdoor activities.

Poland turns into a winter wonderland when it snows with some of the cheapest skiing and snow boarding on offer anywhere. See skiing holiday in Poland

There are plenty of places to visit for excursions, organised trips and loads of culture to soak up if you want it. Most young Poles speak a fair bit of English, so that you won't be stuck for long but perhaps you'll enjoy the challenge of trying to pronounce those 'cz' and 'sz' letter combinations. Krakow is a stag party magnet, all that cheap beer and high density of pubs - try pronouncing Polish phrases after a drink or few.
