Do you remember “The Great Escape” — the book or the movie? If yes, you might be interested to know that the place where it all really happened is just about two hours from Wrocław.

During World War II, a group of Allied prisoners of war planned and carried out a daring escape from a German POW camp called Stalag Luft III. It was one of the most famous escapes of the war, though only a few made it to freedom.

Today, there’s a tiny museum on the site. If you're a true history fan, it’s worth going inside, even if the exhibition is a bit disorganized. The story behind it all is so powerful that it’s surprising how few people know this place exists.

Outside the museum, there’s a reconstructed section of the escape tunnel, where you can look inside and get a feel for how cramped and risky the escape must have been. The original tunnel didn’t survive, but in the nearby woods you can follow a marked path to see the outline of where it once ran. Simple posts and signage show where the tunnel started and ended, giving a sense of scale and location — it’s quiet, a little haunting, and very real.

It’s not a tourist hotspot, but maybe that’s what makes it special.

Travel Tip for Poland! Ifyou're staying at a hotel in Poland, don’t be surprised if you don’t find bottled water in your room. Instead, many hotels provide water dispensers in the hallway and glass jugs or carafes in your room to fill up.

Why? It’s part of a growing eco-friendly trend to reduce plastic waste and encourage guests to drink clean, local tap water. ♻️💦

We love seeing sustainable tourism in action! Just one more reason to appreciate thoughtful hospitality while exploring beautiful Poland.

Malbork Castle isn’t just any castle—it’s the largest brick castle in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 13th century by the Teutonic Knights, this massive fortress is like stepping into a real-life medieval story.

You’ll wander through towering walls, grand halls, hidden chambers. Every part of the castle has a tale to tell, and the scale of it all is something you truly have to see to believe.

This isn’t just another sightseeing stop—it’s a one-of-a-kind experience. There's nothing quite like it anywhere else in Europe.

And yes, a visit to Malbork Castle is included in our small group tours.

If you're looking to explore a part of history that few places truly capture, the Sybir Memorial Museum in Białystok is a must-visit.

This museum is unlike any other in Poland — in fact, it's the only institution in the country fully dedicated to the history of Polish citizens deported to Siberia and other remote parts of the Soviet Union. It tells the story of mass deportations that began during and after World War II, when hundreds of thousands of people – including families with children – were forcibly taken from their homes and sent to harsh, unfamiliar lands in the East.

What makes this museum truly unique is how deeply it immerses visitors in this little-known chapter of Polish and European history. Located in a historic train depot – the very kind used in the deportations – the museum uses original artifacts, multimedia displays, personal testimonies, and reconstructed environments to bring the experience to life. You’ll walk through a recreated cattle car, hear real voices of survivors, and feel the weight of what exile meant for so many.

This is not just a history lesson – it’s a powerful, emotional journey that gives a voice to people whose stories were often silenced. Nowhere else will you find such a complete, thoughtful, and respectful presentation of the Siberian deportations.

Whether you have roots in this history or are simply curious to learn more, visiting the Sybir Memorial Museum is something you won’t forget. It’s a place that changes how you see the past – and the people who lived through it.

From Białystok to... Białegostoku?! 🧳✈️

No, it's not a typo. It's just good old Polish flexion. Our word endings - and on rare ocasion even the middles of words - like to change, especially when you're not looking! 😄

In Polish, we don't just go to Białystok... we go to Białegostoku. Why? Because Polish likes to keep things interesting – and grammatically correct!

If this feels like linguistic gymnastics, you're not alone! Many of our travelers chuckle when they try to pronounce cities like Wrocław, Łódź, or Szczecin. 😅

Have you ever struggled with a Polish place name? Or maybe you’ve got a favorite that you nailed on the first try (teach us your ways! 🙌).

Let us know in the comments – and don't worry, we’re here to guide you through every twist, turn, and tongue twister on your Polish adventure!

When traveling through Poland, there’s one simple but unforgettable snack that every visitor should try — kanapka ze smalcem. This humble slice of bread with lard might not sound like much at first, but it holds a special place in Polish hearts and kitchens.

Kanapka ze smalcem is typically made from a thick piece of rustic bread, spread with creamy, seasoned pork lard, and topped with crunchy pickles and sometimes onions. It’s a dish that goes back generations — once a staple of countryside kitchens, now a favorite in traditional inns and food markets across the country.

Why is it iconic? Because it captures the essence of Polish hospitality: hearty, honest, and full of flavor. It’s often served as a snack alongside a cold beer or warm soup, and it brings people together with its simplicity and taste.

During your tour of Poland, take a moment to stop at a local fair, food truck, or regional inn (karczma), and give kanapka ze smalcem a try. It’s not just food — it’s a bite of Polish history and tradition.

You might be surprised how something so simple can leave such a lasting impression.

We show the real Poland—with all its shades, not just the postcard version. On our private tours, we often step off the beaten path to visit small towns where the contrasts speak louder than guidebooks ever could.

Take Piotrków Trybunalski. In the heart of the Old Town, you're surrounded by cobbled alleys, Renaissance facades, and echoes of royal courts and forgotten synagogues. Just a few minutes' walk away, the scene changes. Rows of plain tenement houses and apartment blocks, worn staircases, satellite dishes clinging to balconies.

The shift is sudden and real. Centuries of history condensed into a few streets, then replaced by the quiet weight of the communist era. It's not always pretty—but it's honest. And that honesty tells you more about Poland than any monument ever could.

Many group tours skip Lublin, but it's a city that’s really worth visiting. It may not be as well known as Kraków or Warsaw, but it has a lot to offer.

One of the most interesting places in Lublin is Po Farze Square. It's in the Old Town and looks like a quiet open space, but it has a deep history. Long ago, there was a large church here – the Church of St. Michael – one of the oldest in the city. It was torn down in the 19th century, but the outline of the church remains marked by low stone walls. You can still walk through where the church once stood.

It’s a peaceful place now, with a view over the hills and rooftops. A good spot to stop, think, and imagine the past.

🎶✨ After a full day of exploring the rich history and beauty of Warsaw, our group had the perfect evening wind-down — a live Chopin concert! 🖤

Listening to the timeless melodies of Fryderyk Chopin in the city where he spent his formative years was truly magical. 🇵🇱🌆 Born just outside of Warsaw and raised in the heart of the city, Chopin gave his first public performances here and was deeply shaped by its spirit. Though he later moved to Paris, his music forever carries the soul of Poland — especially Warsaw — in every note.
