Welcome!

There’s no denying that the Polish cities make a great place for visit

for a long weekend- Gdańsk, Kraków, Warsaw and many others have

plenty to offer, however let’s not forget that Poland has some of the

most awe-inspiring scenery in Europe. This month, Discover Poland

embraces the great outdoors, and looks at some of the best ways to

explore the Bieszczady Mountains and the Mazurian Lakes.

Poznań is a city that is full of surprises. Did you know that it is the

birthplace of Polish history? This month we explore the vibrant capital

of Wielkopolska - Make sure that you tear-out and keep the map in the

centre pages – it contains information on interesting places to visit, as

well as hotels, bars and restaurants.

Eating out… one of the greatest pleasures in life… and if you thought

that eating out in Poland was all about pierogi and bigos, think again!

Whether you’re in the mood for some Japanese sushi, Indian koftas or

a Thai curry, you’ll ind it in Warsaw. Vegetarians needn’t feel excluded,

as we discover when we chat to Jerzy Szkolnicki, one of the founders of

Green Way, a successful chain of vegetarian restaurants in Poland.

Finally, I’d live to hear from you – tell me what you think of Discover

Poland, or let me know if there are topics that you would like to read

more about. Perhaps you’ve got some top travel tips that you would like

to share with us? Drop me a line a.hope@discoverpl.com
