For centuries, Poland has been a bridge between the East and West. Set in the heart of Europe, Poland is a multifaceted country where the capital and medieval towns are trawled by contemporary city slickers, and where horse-drawn carts negotiate country lanes, untouched by progress.
Poland remains reasonably cheap and safe, with hospitable people who welcome visitors. Over the past decade, it has developed into a modern, vibrant and progressive state, yet at the same time it maintains its traditional culture. It's a fascinating destination and now is a good time to go.

Ze Lwowa do Przemyśla jedziemy polskim
PKSem. Trudno ocenić wiek pojazdu, ale nie zdziwię się, jeśli jesteśmy
rówieśnikami. Ostatni raz pojazdem o takim standardzie jechaliśmy w
Birmie. Połamane oparcia, powyrywane i leżące luzem siedzenia, syf w
luku ... Read more >
