Journey into Polish History and Culture (2025)

Jour 1

Welcome to your tour with Europamundo! We’ll transfer you to the hotel and you’ll have some free time. In the afternoon, you’ll find information about the start of your tour on the boards located at the hotel reception.

Jour 2

We’ll start the day with a panoramic tour of Warsaw with a local guide. Home to nearly two million people, this political and economic hub of Poland boasts a blend of modern architecture and meticulously restored historic buildings. We’ll stroll through the charming old town, featuring many old buildings, the Royal Palace, and cobbled streets, all restored after their destruction in World War II and now declared a World Heritage Site. We’ll visit the Palace of Culture, a skyscraper gifted by the Soviet Union, reflect on the history of what was once the largest Jewish ghetto in Europe, and wander through Lazienki Park, home to the Chopin Monument.You’ll have free time in the afternoon to visit museums, such as the National Museum and the Warsaw Rising Museum, or to explore the lively city center filled with shops and activities.

Jour 3

We’ll depart for the forested, hilly region of Lesser Poland, often known by its Polish name Małopolska. Our first stop will be in Kielce, a vibrant town founded in the 11th century, with an elegant center featuring its cathedral, bishop’s palace, and charming gardens. There will be time to explore the city and enjoy lunch. Traveling along smaller roads, allowing us to fully appreciate the villages and landscapes, we’ll continue travelling through Lesser Poland. We’ll discover the magnificent small town of Tarnow, founded in the 14th century, with its spacious central square, medieval streets, and Renaissance and Gothic architecture influenced by Polish, Jewish, and Hungarian cultures. Before World War II, nearly half of the city´s population was Jewish, and its ethnographic museum serves as a reminder of the Roma community, who were persecuted during the European conflict. We’ll then continue to Krakow, arriving in the late afternoon. We recommend taking a stroll through the lively Market Square.
