Poland is famous for amber and silver. Apart from the classic necklaces and those polished, gold like nuggets it is worth looking for original examples from young artists. Beautiful items can be found in the Metal gallery and in the Warsaw M. Gallery.

A Magical, Royal City
Overflowing with legends, priceless historical architecture and art, as well as fabulous leisure and entertainment options, Poland’s historical capital, whose centre has..
been a UNESCO World Heritage Site for over 40 years, captivates and enchants visitors at first sight
Situated on the Vistula River in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates back to the 7th century. Kraków has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish academic, cultural, and artistic life and is one of Poland’s most important economic hubs. Indeed it was the capital of Poland from 1038 to 1569.
In the Main Market Square of the Old Town, stop to smell the floral aromas coming from Kraków’s famous flower sellers, as the familiar clip-clop sound of the horse-drawn carriages passes you by. Overhead, pigeons fly over St. Mary’s Basilica and the Cloth Hall, where trade continues to flourish today as it has throughout the ages: treat yourself to some amber and silver goods, arts and crafts or even miniatures of the unique Kraków-style nativity scenes.
An absolute must is St. Mary’s Basilica; there’s even a revolving hologram encouraging you to visit. With a tradition spanning some 650 years, the Wierzynek restaurant is not one to be missed.
Consider yourself a foodie? You’ll be interested in the many culinary events held in Krakow, including regular ones like Kraków Shrovetide (Zapusty) or Obwarzanek (Kraków Bagel) Day, celebrating the city’s trademark snack. Following the European Academy of Gastronomy granting Kraków the title of European Capital of Gastronomic Culture for the first time in history in 2019, many of its restaurants now serve dishes from the Kraków Capital Menu, using local products, so you can really get a taste of this incredible city.
Poland’s Vibrant Port City
As the dynamic capital of the Pomorskie province, Gdańsk offers an enticing contrast of rich history and attractive modernity. Packed with cultural and leisure options..
and together with Gdynia and Sopot, forming what’s known as the TriCity, this vibrant port city stands proudly beside the Baltic Sea, offering something for everyone and a fair few surprises as well.
With a tradition spanning over 1,000 years, Poland’s maritime capital and one of the largest ports on the Baltic Sea is today a unique metropolis that has always been characterised by a spirit of freedom and courage. Gdańsk’s motto, the Latin saying Nec temere, nec timide, perfectly expresses the character of this former Hanseatic city; a timeless maxim that we would all do well to follow. Translated into English, it means simply: “neither rashly nor timidly”.
Anyone arriving in Gdańsk inevitably gravitates towards the Main Town, the city’s most historical, most popular and most important destination for locals and tourists alike. Here is where multilingual crowds of all ages take in the views across the extremely popular River Motława, as tourist boats sail past. The riverside is also dotted with tenements, including a restored Granary Island. Here you’ll find perhaps the most iconic building in the city: The Crane – the largest port crane in the whole of Europe during the Middle Ages and today part of an interesting museum.
No talk of Gdańsk can go by without mentioning one its greatest and lesser-known assets: the beautiful, wide, sandy beaches in Sobieszewo, Jelitkowo, Stogi and Brzeźno.
