“We had such a great time with Trafalgar—5 countries in 21 days was truly the trip of a lifetime! The history, the food, and the chance to experience different cultures firsthand is what I love most about travel. The journey was stress-free with so much already organised for us, letting us soak in every moment. I’d definitely recommend budgeting for the optional extras before you leave; they are worth it and provide a deeper taste of each country. Travel truly opens your mind and expands your horizons. “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”

The guide was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Bus driver was very talented. Both were fabulous. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
- John, Best of Poland
“It was an amazing tour. So many different experiences that this felt like a trip we will never forget. Both the beauty and the tragedy of the history of so many places we visited were unforgettable. And we also had so much fun, met some great people, and our tour director Paul and our driver Vlad were both outstanding. This was our second Trafalgar tour and we will definitely be back for more.”

What to pack for Poland

The best time to visit Poland depends on what you want to experience. Spring (April to June) brings blooming flowers and outdoor festivals, while autumn (September to October) is perfect for colourful foliage and harvest season delicacies. Summer (June to August) is ideal for exploring cities and countryside but expect larger crowds. Winter (December to February) transforms Poland into a snowy wonderland, great for Christmas markets and winter sports in the Tatra Mountains.
Poland has a continental climate with cold winters and warm summers. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing, while summer temperatures range from 20-30°C (68-86°F).
Yes, snowfall is common in winter, especially in the mountains and northern regions.
Poland uses the Polish Zloty (PLN). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s good to carry cash for small purchases.
Tipping 10% in restaurants is customary for good service. Rounding up the bill in taxis is also appreciated.
Poland uses Type C and Type E plugs with a voltage of 230V. If your appliances come from outside the EU, you'll most likely need an adaptor.

Yes, tap water is perfectly safe to drink, even though a lot of Polish locals prefer bottled water.
Layered clothing is key in Poland, where the days can be quite mild but the nights very cold. Winters require warm coats, gloves, and boots, while summers call for the option of light clothes and a sweater or jacket for cooler evenings.
You can cover highlights like Warsaw, Kraków, and Gdańsk in 7-10 days. If you want to explore lesser-known regions, or go at a more relaxed pace, give yourself another 4 days on top.
We highly recommend guests purchase travel insurance prior to your trip. Please ensure you add the details of your insurance to the MyTrafalgar portal. Your insurance should cover trip interruption, personal injury, medical expenses, and evacuation and repatriation cover including during pandemic events.
