The most polpular souvenirs in Poland

This is one of the

most polpular

souvenirs in

Poland. It is a

traditional, wooden

stick. You can buy

it in Zakopane in

the Polish

Mountains -

`Tatry`. It is a good

present for all

members of the

family. I really

recommend it to

everyone.

Ciupaga

Model of Wawel Castle

It is a stone figure. Wawel is

an architectural complex

erected over many centuries

atop a limestone outcrop on

the left bank of the Vistula

River in Kraków. It is a

popular place in Poland at

an altitude of 228 metres

above the sea level. It is a

place of great significance to

the Polish people. The Royal

Castle with an armoury and

the Cathedral is situated on

a hill. Polish Royalty and

many distinguished Poles

are buried in the Wawel

Cathedral. Royal coronations

took place there as well.

`Lajkonik`

The Lajkonik is one of

the unofficial symbols

of the city of Kraków in

Poland. It is

represented as a

bearded man

resembling a Tatar in a

characteristic pointed

hat, dressed in Mongol

attire, with a wooden

horse around his waist.

It is the subject of the

Lajkonik Festival that

takes place each year

on the first Thursday

after the religious

holiday of Corpus

Christi.

Highlander

slippersThese are the

Highlanger slippers

made of sheepskin

decorated with

colouful embroidery.

They are the

Highlander

particularly to

those people who

like keeping warm.
