ITINERARY
Our day starts at 10:00 a.m. in Dresden to our first destination: Wroclaw
Wroclaw is one of the largest, most beautiful and oldest cities in Poland, which offers everything for a trendy destination: perfectly preserved medieval buildings and modern city districts. The city has an ancient tradition and was first mentioned around the year 900, whereby the region of Silesia - in which Wroclaw is located - was already mentioned by Tacitus in 98 AD. Our tour begins on the medieval market square (Polish: Rynek). Many events take place here throughout the year. We visit the historic town hall, the adjoining churches and the restored town houses that tell a living story. During our excursion we take a look at another specialty of Wroclaw - the around 230 bronze dwarfs scattered around the city. These little residents were erected in the 1980s as a matter of "Humor is the best weapon against oppression" and served as a symbol of protest against the communist state.

1st highlight: Racławice panorama
We start the 2nd day with a visit to "Panorama of Racławice". This unique Polish work of art includes a panorama picture with a total area of 1,710 m². It depicts the victory of the Polish over the Russian army on April 4, 1794 in Racławice. The picture was a tourist highlight of the city of Lviv (now western Ukraine) for a long time. It was dismantled under strict secrecy and shipped to Wroclaw in 1946. For political reasons, it could only be shown to the public again since 1985 and is now one of the city's most famous sights.
2nd highlight: the National Museum
Near the panorama is the Wroclaw National Museum, whose collection includes around 120,000 exhibits from the Middle Ages to the present day. Overall, the National Museum is considered to be one of the largest collections of historical exhibits in the country. There are, among other things, many paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, handicrafts and photographs to visit. We also have the opportunity to receive an introduction to the history of the country and its art history and also get to know outstanding personalities.
3rd highlight: free time
In the afternoon, you have free time to explore the city and other sights on your own. We recommend "Galeria Neonów" or the Botanical Garden. Of course, you can also enjoy the city with a leisurely stroll and visit some of the local shops.

Highlight: Poznan city tour - full day
Poznan is the fifth largest city in Poland. It offers a mixture of interesting history and exciting culture, with remarkable architecture, lively parks and colorful cafes and restaurants. As in many historical cities, all of Poznan's main attractions are concentrated in the center. And since the history of the place spans about 10 centuries, Poznan offers its guests an extensive collection of historical monuments. During a walk we take a look at the most important of them. We start with the old market, where the beautiful Renaissance town hall is located. It was built in 1551 and is famous for its clock tower with the two moving billy goat statues. Our tour continues to the former imperial palace. This is the last and youngest royal residence in Europe and was built at the beginning of the 20th century, erected for Wilhelm II. In summer, we also have the unique opportunity to visit the Martinshörnchen Museum, where we can see how the most famous Polish biscuits are made. This is a kind of croissant and is one of the products with a protected designation of origin in the EU, so this specialty can only be baked in Wielkopolska according to a precise recipe.

Highlight: Gdansk - all day
On the 4th day of the trip, we stroll across the cobblestones of the cozy Hanseatic city of Gdansk. We visit the old town with its flair of the old Hanseatic League, enjoy its historical and at the same time elegant ambience, which is often rounded off with classical music by street musicians. Many splendid merchants' houses await us, one of the largest brick churches north of the Alps - the Marienkirche - and the "right town hall". From here we have a wonderful view over the whole city. In many historical buildings we find cozy cafés and restaurants in which we can enjoy the impressions of this enchanting place and try various fish specialties of this region. Another specialty of the city is the salty air and the sound of the Baltic Sea surf, which gives Gdansk its special charm.

Highlight: Marienburg - all day
The Marienburg (Polish Zamek w Malborku) in the city of Malbork is a medieval order castle of the Teutonic Order built in the 13th century on the river Nogat - an estuary of the Vistula. To this day it is the largest brick building in Europe and is also considered the mightiest building in brick Gothic. This castle complex was the seat of the Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order from 1309 to 1457 and is also known as the most impressive fortress of the 14th century in Europe. In addition to its breathtaking appearance, Marienburg is also closely linked to the spread of Christianity in Eastern Europe, especially the Christianization of the Baltic people. Badly damaged in the Second World War, it was then first-class restored by Polish specialists and is now home to extremely interesting historical exhibitions and an amber museum. Our personal opinion: One of the best museum complexes in Europe and a must for anyone interested in history!

We spend the 6th day of our trip in the small and cozy town of Mikolajki, which is also known as the "place of a thousand lakes". It is located on the largest Masurian lake, the Spirdingsee, and is therefore in the center of a large number of Masurian waters. As a stopover on our journey, you have time for individual relaxation, whether you are walking through the small town and its harbor, relaxing in a cozy restaurant or café, using one of the various excursion boats or renting a boat yourself (a boat license is not required).

Highlight: Warsaw - all day
We drive to the capital of Poland, where we encounter a diverse architecture that reflects the long and turbulent history of the city. During the Second World War, Warsaw lost almost three quarters of its entire architectural heritage. Thanks to its citizens, however, the old town was literally rebuilt from the ashes in the decades after the war. Today Warsaw is one of the most modern and beautiful capitals in Europe. During our city tour we get to know the history of the reconstruction of the city and visit the historical center. On the way, our guide tells many of the capital's exciting legends. Among other things, the story of the mermaid, which is one of the most important symbols of Warsaw. We visit the "Neustadt" district - which was built at the end of the 14th century - and the processional routes of the kings. We also have a look at the Residence and the Potocki Palace. Of course, we will make appropriate stops in restaurants and cafés in the capital so that you can also get to know the culinary side of Warsaw.

Highlight: Krakow - all day
Krakow is the second largest city in the country and was the capital of the Kingdom of Poland until 1596. The oldest Polish and the second oldest Central European university, the "Charles University Prague", is located here. Today Krakow - in perpetual competition with Warsaw - is considered the "secret capital of Poland" and the "centuries-old center of the Polish state". In Addition, the old town is one of the most beautiful in Europe and was declared the first UNESCO World Heritage Site. The heart of the city is the "Rynek Główny" market from the 13th century, which is one of the largest in the world and embodies a mix of culture, history and life. You can easily spend a whole day here. Now we get the chance to visit the Gothic St. Mary's Church with its masterful high altar by Veit Stoss, the town hall tower and the cloth halls from the 14th century. Despite the catastrophe of World War II, the centuries-old historical heritage of the city remained almost undamaged and inspires with various architectural treasures. One of these sights are the castle complex of the former residence of the Polish kings. It dates back from the time between 1040 and 1795 and is located on the hill "Wawel". Here, from a height of 228 m, the view opens up over the city center and the surroundings of the city.
After our guided excursion, you can continue to explore the city on your own. Our tip: visit at least one of the numerous galleries and museums. Or just let the spirit of the city sink in.
