Poland
Poland is a fascinating destination combining impressive historical heritage, vibrant cities, and diverse natural landscapes. Warsaw, the capital, combines modernity and memory, with its city center rebuilt after World War II and its museums dedicated to history. Krakow, the former royal capital, is a city of undeniable medieval charm, with its magnificent Market Square, Wawel Castle, and the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz, rich in culture and history. The country is also marked by major sites such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, a lasting reminder of World War II.

Warsaw
Warsaw is a city that surprises with its contrast between modern architecture and historical monuments. The Palace of Culture and Science dominates the skyline, while the Old Town, rebuilt identically after the destruction, is a lively place with its cafes, cobblestone streets, and bustling squares. The city boasts a vibrant cultural scene, with museums, theaters, and festivals held throughout the year.
Krakow
Krakow is one of the most visited cities in Central Europe, renowned for its well-preserved historic center and welcoming atmosphere. The Main Market Square is one of the largest in Europe, surrounded by Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance buildings. Wawel Royal Castle, perched on a hill, offers breathtaking views of the Vistula River and a glimpse into Polish history. The Kazimierz district, formerly the Jewish quarter, is now a lively cultural hub with bohemian cafes, art galleries, and festivals.
Auschwitz-Birkenau
Located approximately 70 km from Krakow, Auschwitz-Birkenau is one of Europe's most significant places of remembrance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This Nazi concentration and extermination camp complex was the scene of horror during World War II, where more than a million people, mostly Jews, were deported and murdered. Today, the site is visited with deep respect for the duty of remembrance. The barracks, the railways leading to the camps, and the exhibitions help visitors understand the scale of the crimes committed and honor the memory of the victims. A visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau is a moving experience that invites reflection on history and the importance of preserving peace and tolerance.
