Poland

4.5
Historic Walking Areas · Historic Sites · Landmarks
Given the country's deep medieval roots and the tragic past of its Jewish inhabitants, historical places in Poland showcase the highs and the lows of one of Eastern Europe's largest nations. Walking the ancient city of Krakow will take you through the intricate arches of Wawel Royal Castle, once home to kings and queens and now a gathering place for a large array of artistic works, including a collection of Italian Renaissance paintings. Visitors can also hop aboard a train to Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau for a somber look at the atrocities committed during World War II.
