Exploring Poland with Gosia Kiszniewska

In this episode Gosia takes us all over Poland to its myriad landscape of historic cities, picturesque mountain ranges and stunning seaside escapes. We start in Krakow with its UNESCO world heritage historic center and highlight Wawel Royal Castle along with other notable sights. Our next stop is the town of Weilicksa with its huge salt mine and charming old town. Further east are two mountain ranges, Tatra and Bieszczady, that have different options for hiking, nature watching and relaxation. For sailors and aquatic enthusiasts the Masurian lake district and the Hel peninsula offer a range of activities for every age group and budget. Gdańsk is also an important stop for history lovers as well as a seaside getaway with ferry connections to other Baltic countries northward. Our conversation rounds out with a discussion of Polish food (keilbasa and pierogi to name just a few), vodka and wine. Be sure to add Poland to any upcoming European adventures or onward destinations as it truly has something for everyone.
