Poland, 8 Days · Tailor-made by car
Polska Route from Warsaw to Krakow
Discover the amazing Poland and its two main cities, witnesses to the country's renaissance
Join us on this fascinating self-drive tour through the main cities of Poland, a major highlight of the Eastern Europe. Learn about the architectural rivalry between the current and the former capital of the country, both which rose up from the ashes after World War II. Elegant and historical, both of them also have been declared UNESCO World Heritage sites: the vast Warsaw and the monument-rich Krakow. An itinerary complemented by the canals and bridges of the 'Polish Venice' in Wroclaw; the Gates of Gdansk, with the prominence of its trade union past; and the wonderful Poznan, origin of the Polish state. Poland delivers surprises wherever you go. It oozes cultural and historical richness, marked by the influences of Eastern and Western Europe, and holds borders with six countries, which also translates into a diverse and original cuisine. Its legacy is far-reaching and worth its weight in gold, with a total of 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Our proposal includes historical elements that reflect the shame of the Nazi holocaust, but also restore our faith in humanity with visits to places where Schindler and the Zabisnkis saved many Jews from death, as famously depicted in movies. Their memory is used by Poland to stir people's conscience.

Important remarks
- Driving through Poland: 1. When driving in Poland, you must keep your vehicle's lights switched on throughout the entire day. And take care in the cities, where the tram is still a widely-used means of public transport and always has the right of way. 2. The state of the roads has vastly improved in recent years. 3. Drink driving in Poland is severely punished. The permitted blood alcohol limit is 0.2 mg/l. 4. If you plan to visit the Tatra National Park or other mountainous area in winter, make sure you have the right tyres on your car. 5. Border crossings between Poland and Slovakia are located in: Chochołów, Chyżne, Jurgów and Łysa Polana. 6. Speed limits: 6.1. Built-up areas 50 km/h (60 km/h after 11.00 pm). 6.2. Non-built-up areas 90 km/h. 6.3. Town/city centres 20 km/h. 6.4. Dual carriageway expressways 110 km/h. 6.5. Single carriageway expressways 100 km/h. 6.6 Dual carriageways with at least two lanes in each direction 100 km/h. 6.7. Motorways 130 km/h. 7. Drivers of motorhomes must register in the electronic toll system (Via Toll). 8. Parking in the centre of Krakow. The Old Town is closed off to traffic (except for taxis, police cars and ambulances, and delivery trucks at certain times of the day). There are very few underground car parks. The park-and-display area is marked with a P, with the compulsory payment hours shown underneath.
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
