Practical information : Move & Laze around Poland

Budget & Tips

In Poland, there are plenty of free options for fun and exercise. Warsaw, for example, offers popular spots like Łazienki Park (among others) for strolling in sumptuous surroundings, while in Krakow Planty Park and the banks of the Vistula are perfect for jogging with views of the Old Town and Wawel Castle. Cycling is easy in Poland, as many cities (such as Warsaw) are equipped with extensive cycle paths for safe pedaling. The 1,980 km Green Velo trail is a great way to explore the country and its varied landscapes, all in the great outdoors. Inline skaters will also find plenty to do, with well-maintained tracks in most cities.

What's very local

In autumn, Poles love to head off into the forest to pick mushrooms. This time-honored tradition sees families spending whole days looking for chanterelles, ceps and other varieties, particularly in the forests of Masuria and the Carpathians. Another popular activity with the locals is chess. With the first rays of sunshine, it's not unusual to see groups playing in the parks. Trips on historic trains are also very popular with Poles. Organized by associations of railway enthusiasts, these journeys offer a picturesque way to discover the countryside, as on the Wolsztyn-Poznań line with its steam locomotives. If you feel the need to relax, Poles can count on the many spas, public baths and other natural springs. Proud of their regional folklore, they are never at a loss for celebrating traditions, harvests or patron saints via numerous local festivals. For thrill-seekers, there's gliding in the Bieszczady and Sudeten mountains, kayaking and canoeing... For the less adventurous, there's fishing in competitions that are taken very seriously, especially in Masuria.

Main events

During your trip to Poland, take note of the various festivals and traditional celebrations (especially in mountainous regions). These events provide an opportunity to discover local folklore. Likewise, if you're a fan of classical music, be sure to check out the concerts on offer, especially in Warsaw.
