POLAND - THE LAND OF NATURAL DIVERSITY

Poland has a population of almost 39 million people.

This figure makes Poland the 8th most populated country in Europe. Polish economy is one of the fastest developing economies in central Europe.

The geographical location contributes in moderate

climate: with both maritime and continental elements. Although the weather is rather difficult to forecast, you can expect snowy white winters and hot, sunny summers, with a bit of rain from time to time.

Poland is the land of natural diversity. In the north we have 440 km of Baltic coastline. Beautiful golden sandy beaches are highly recommended for holidays. The northern “half” of

Poland delights us with its abundance of forests and lakes. The other half has picturesque mountains, all along the

southern border, with the two main ranges in that part of Europe: the Carpathians and the Sudetes.

There are many things worth seeing in Poland. Its

magnificent architecture reflects one thousand years of historical heritage, with plenty of Gothic, Baroque or Art Nouveau buildings, churches, cathedrals, castles, and manors. Thirteen sites are included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, among them the historic centers of Cracow and Warsaw (the capital), the medieval town of Toruń, the Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Castle of the Teutonic Order in

Malbork. It is difficult to be bored in Poland, especially during the summer season, with plenty of festivals all over the country.

Poland is a rather monocultural country so every foreign visitors are very welcome!
